noddy Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) Dont waste your time get a proper after market ECU then get it mapped on a rolling road this way it shall make a lot more power than with a carb , even with a carb the ignition side of things will still need to be delt with .will be better on petrol with ecu and map and will be so much nicer to drive plus mot time carbs are not going to pass at all so in the long run ecu and mapping will be cheaper and you will have to find carbs that are happy taking boost with out leeking why take your modden car back in time with carbs was of time money and powerwhere you getting your pistons and how much you paying for them ?????

Dblock Posted August 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Paul if i may ask you, what is your engine code? A few more questions if you would be so kind, Injectors did you run normal or uprated? Throttle body is it just one from a 2litre golf or do you have jenveys or something. Is it just the normal eaton or is it the one from the JCW edtion. How come you went for a intercooler and not a charge cooler? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbin Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 im running gti injectors, there plenty for a 1.4, the throttle body is just a standard one from a 2 litre golf, the eaton is the one with teflon coated blades so its alittle more efficient.I went for a intercooler as it was alittle cheaper for me, im not experiencing any temperature problems at all, but charge cooler is on the cards if there is any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted August 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Brilliant paul thanks, sorry about all the questions its just i bought the max power mag and then i threw it out im kicking myself now. The throttle body for the golf is that a gti one and which year?The pipes where they all custom made or is it off the shelf samco stuff. What made you chose the emerald ecu over something else and do you use the different map settings?Once again thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 okay so i think il need a ratio of 8:1. Noddy i think gti runs 11.5:1 are you going for 8:1 or 9:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airwolf Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Cool, i was just thinking as my car is an AUB u cant decat it but under a stand alone system i could de cat it couldnt i?i de cated mine an it ran fine sounded good on the down change tho lol think when ive charged it mite put the de cat back on for a giggle all that i had on mine b 4 i decided to charge it was power boost valve cat bk xhaust and piper x viper induction kit and it ran well then de cated it an ran better hope this helps in some way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noddy Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Cool, i was just thinking as my car is an AUB u cant decat it but under a stand alone system i could de cat it couldnt i?when on stand alone ecu you can run what ever you like as long as its mapped to suit it but ifi was you i would looking in to a sports cat as for compresion i'm not sure i was told i just need a 2mm spacer plate and thats on a gti engine . hope that helps a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArosaMike Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 okay so i think il need a ratio of 8:1. Noddy i think gti runs 11.5:1 are you going for 8:1 or 9:1.That sounds about right. You could always just run ethanol instead and slack off the change in compression ratio style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> But then you'd have to spend as much money as getting new pistons just ethanol proofing all the fuel system.....so it'd be a bit silly really style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":coffee:" border="0" alt="coffee.gif" /> Sorry......I'm an engineer.

Dblock Posted August 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 lmao thanks for the conformation. im just gonna go for a decomp plate but i think getting one made will be a bit of a pain. do you need one or 2headgaskets once the decomp plate is fitted. Could i run jenvey bodies under charge? i know its silly just an idea though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
