All the best advice has been given above I really can't add any more other than if you want to stay with Power then use them for everything else, and just use Steve for the mapping of the DTA. You would be wasting good money changing it all IMHO

Hang on a sec, looking at the comments above...........

It has bore washed.

It has antilag.



Those statements do tend to go together pretty easily, are you SURE that the fact that the thing is running too rich is the problem.


Nice looking motor all be worth it in the end

Chip, i don't belive so, theres nothing on the invoices to say so & the guy said it had the feature for anti-lag, water injection etc, but he never said the features were used.

I'm almost certain it had anti lag when i saw it.

Look for a valve that looks like this --->


DTA uses this valve for both idle and anti lag.
You would need to find out hows its wired up to determin if its used as an idle valve or anti lag valve.

Guzzler, fair enough.

Well good luck trying to get some cash out of someone along the way, but i doubt you will as the first tuner will blame the second one and vice versa of course!

The wiring isnt any different if you have the antilag running IIRC, its just a software thing.

That valve is an astra GTE ICV i think.

that is shite luck mate

dta is a very very good management system !!!!!!, dont rip it out as ya tuner dont understand it

its like selling ya escos and buying a calibra as ya tuner dont understand the YB


the head dont need porting either for a t34 even a small turbo escos head

and 20psi on a t34 is a very very small amount and on greys should be 30psi,

seimens injectors are deffo worth looking at if ya gonna change em as dark greens are hard to get hold of anway and ya gonna need the resistors too ( if ya aint got em, the resistors are brass looking things that are just before the injectors in the loom, there should be 2 of em, 1 for each pair of injectors

i had balast resisistors on my omex for dark greens but if i was to do it again i would get proper high imp injectors

good luck and get loads of advice from peeps to get a idea on things for a few opinions

Matt closed M.L. mainly due to health problems, he had a year off but is thinking of trading again, not sure if he will start making tanks etc, but if the demand is there he may do.

I have a PIN RECOVERY programme if anyone needs its
I can email it.

Its just goes into the ECU and finds out the password locking the maps, very handy programme

Yes will do.

But, its on my computer at home so might have to wait till monday.

I will defo remember to send it though.

By the way you must have the DTA mapping software installed on your computer before saving the pin recovery software other wise it can't install.

Matt.
