qpeng uses MBE management i think you will find, seems to be the cheapest way to do a 1.8t, with ecu`s you need to decide where you are going to get it mapped and what they like to use, creme de la creme is motec m400 from kieth murray at dialynx, but then you are talking about stab in the dark figure of 4K plus for your ecu + wiring + mapping,, big power costs big money whichever way you look at it, allot of people are successfully running dta exp 48 ecu`s , stealth racing can help you there,, if you are after 300 bhp you will be wanting a custom map rather than simply a bsae map to get you started, what engine / turbo mods are you planning?

check the resistance on the end of teh wiring loom to the injectors should be about 3-4 ohms, if the injectors are ok, ruling out the harness as you have replaced that already,,

its teh difference between the tip of the lobe and teh base circle,, and the diameter of teh base circle, so you measure it one way top to bottom and then measure it side to side,, http://www.pipercams.co.uk/NewPiperWeb/ ... dvice.html

If you do your IAM its the first step to being able to become a driving instructor which could be a good thing

if you already have it then by all means try it and see if it makes a difference,, yu can always take it out if you dont like it,,

awesome unit tehre darren, must of been allot of work getting all that lot built and organised

BOO HOO,, we want pics of your engine!!!!

what head is that??? it has avery big water outlet on it or am i being silly? looks a bit special

thing is with abs you cant use silicone fluid so its regular fl;uid changes for us,, mind you its a good idea to do it once a year anyhow at least it makes you have a proper look at teh braking system, state of metal hoses etc,,

if you still want heat protection too get a sheet of powermat from rallydesign.co.uk

i do belive you have to change teh dot 5.1 more frequently though so i best keep an eye on that,,

ebc brakes are rubbish,, i had problems with greenstuff pads not biting and tehn fading,, so i complained, they then sent me a full set of redstuff FOC, which was nice,, but these wore out a set of brand new front disks in the time it took to wear out half a set of the pads, now back on std pads and dot 5.1 fluid,, no brake fade around the nurburgring,,,,, did 20 laps at teh wekend and all is well,, think people often overlook upgrading the fluid,, made more difference to mine than any brake pads!!

interesting cars these

good luck to him and cant blame him for saying it is a truly awesome car!! he must be extatic top own such a creation,, Im looking forward to seeing what Jay does with the next car,, come on jay let us know what you are upto!!

looking awesome

AWESOME,,,

looks awesome ,nice and standard too

post up some visdeos dude if this crazy theory thing really works,, cant see it myself,,

ere`s mine,,

hey monkey you any idea what pistons he is running?

heres the pics, gearchange definitley feels better (){}phorrr sorry the footwells a little dirty,, cars a daily driver!! :D

there was a group buy offer on, maybe if a few people are interested the price would be lower? i can see why its expensive when you look at the quality of it,, its in the same sort of price range as the rubbish tacky gearknobs the likes of halfords etc sell

its only cold when you first get in it in the morning,, soon warms up,, and if you get in it in the afternoon its nice and warm!!

contacted dubcharged who posted up this original thread,, http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=42570 well this gearknob arrived and it is absolutley awesome, its counterbored a bit deeper than the original gearknob so shortens the stick slightly, and its quite weighty and has improved the shift no end, kinda like fitting a weighted shift rod on a mk2 or mk1 with an o2o gearbox,, in car pics to follow very shortly. looks brilliant in the car too and is a nice size so fits in the hand very well indeed, lovley engineered piece of kit..

nope as the throttle body is on the wrong side,, sorry mate exhaust manifold may fit though,,
