hi all
i have just recoverd from full febuild i have a tec 2 ecu now but cince the rebuild she cuts out when the revs drop had it to dealer no problems £68 please and good bye
john who rebuilt it says its the map not right for my now .25 overbored lump low compretion ext ext
so im closing in on 1000m and want to get it maped or change ecu depending on cost the gains and losses
the car runs fine only when you try to drive like a fanny for 1000m shes a bitch with a bad head hopefully the new map will get rid of the drop in reves ???
john wants me to go gems but my pockets arnt bottomles 1800 is a lot of cash a week or 2 after paying 3500 for a rebuild or and 400 for headers also some injectors on order and a tdo5 in the pipe line god i need 6 numbers !!!
any way can yous let me know what ecu's you are using to what power range i can go to with which ecu's oh and dont forget the 6 numbers im fuxxxxx skint now

In general, unless you are either clued up enough to want to alter the mapping yourself, or want to do something the standard ECU literally can't handle (like extra injectors, ALS etc. etc.), EcuTeK is probably the more practical option. It's certainly cheaper.

GEMS will cost you a lot more than £1800 once installed and mapped...

how is that

So if it has been rebuilt and does not run properly then what was the spec of your rebuild?

Why would a standard rebuild chnage your compression ratio so significantly that it wouldn't run?!

Before spending any money on an ECU I would check out everything after the rebuild.

The overbore would give a greater swept volume and so if all else had not changed - the compression ratio would actually go up slightly.

Once that is done - a good Ecutek map is probably the best value way forward.

If you email Pat, I'm sure he would re-map your ECU for less than a 1/3 of the cost of the Gems.

As Mark says, just get Pat to remap it

Check out the Apexi Power FC ECU group buy being discussed. This will be under £1k all in and mapped. You then have a fully remappable ECU which is future 'tweek' friendly and which also has a good resale value when/if you change cars.
As for power limit on the PFC, a TD05 won't get anywhere near it !

cheers

i think im going to go FM TD05/6 with the 550 inj as jonny spoke to you today andy
the car is running mint apart from the rvs drop if you drop acceleration from 3/4g it cuts out ticks over mint too
it just catches you out when you dont expect it only 350m to go now and i can start to sort her out the headers wont be helping eather
time will tell
