Location: leigh | I've just bought a metro! Number 6 ?? it has a 1.8t fitted but no ecu and loom.. where is the best place to get an ecu mapped? I have a mg zr 1.4 on mems 3, will this ecu be suitable for remapping? And will the loom be suitable for converting? Any thing I should watch out for with the conversion? Any top tips? |

Location: South Yorkshire | You bought the White gti off Ben I guess?
Adrian will convert you a loom he will tell you what you need to send him
K maps supply and map a ecu £320 slightly less if you supply one £280 I think but needs to be correct ecu so I'll be getting them to supply it's all plug and play will work first time then |

Location: sittingbourne, kent | you can use a the 1.4 ecu for the map to be put on, but it wont enable electronic controlled boost. but this could be sorted with a decent manual boost control |

Location: leigh | Ok.. say for instance I get the 1.4 ecu mapped and the map is set to be used with x psi boost. What's stopping you from adjusting the wastegate using the boost gauge reading to the correct boost.. I don't like the idea of a manual boost controller because you can get boost creep and I like turning things up that I shouldn't! I would rather it set correctly and not adjustable. And just out of intrest (I know it's unlimitedly variable) what bhp are you looking at? |

Location: sittingbourne, kent | Problem with just tightening the pre tension
on the waste gate is boost comes in more gradual I find.
I have a manual boost controller fitted to mine
and I have it set for 12 psi. At most it will spike up to
13 psi. At 12psi on standard engine/turbo and good size exhaust
And fuel pump you should see close to 200 hp |

Location: sittingbourne, kent | And if it does over boost there is a boost cut at 15ish psi
It will allow u to go over 15psi but only for a few seconds |

Location: leigh | Cool.. it's here now anyway and tbh I think it needs abit of work before I get a loom made.. might even use the engine in my mid engined metro yet.. but I still need to build that! |
