ecotek valve

Recommended Posts

i have recently fitted a ecotek valve to my 2.0 16v

after not being overly imprest on massive gains as claimed i

gave them a call ,only to be told my c's ecu wanted reseting

by leaving the battery disconnected over night

does this guy know what hes talking about or what???

i was under the impresion my c's mecanical fuel injection and ecu's

are not involved??? :?: :?: :!: :?: :?:

i think its only the 1.8 16v thats mechanical fuel injection urs is AFAIK electronic Fuel injection..........as for re-setting the ecu i'm not too sure if that would make a difference to the ecotek or not

2.0 16V is indeed electronic - disconnecting ECU for an hour wont hurt so give it a try....

It wont do jack as the only C with a ECU memory is the VR6 AFAIK

I'm confused by these ecotek valve jobbies. :? :? :? My gut instinct is that they're a load of old rubbish and the only thing they're good for is seperating you from your hard earned cash! BUT I have seen them endorsed by none other than a certain Vince of Stealth Racing, held in high regard round these parts as a man who knows a thing or two about VWs. (The Ecotek website even shows Vince with 2 ecotek valves fitted to a VR6).

 

Has anyone actually spoken to Vince to find out the truth about these things?

...and asked him how much he got for his 'endorsement'? ;)

"I fitted an ecotek valve to my Corrado and I got and extra 467 BHP and 251 mpg. On the way home I found £1million and my house had been turned in to a rehabilitaion centre for large-breasted nymphonaniacs ... etc etc"

Really? - So if the 2.0 16V engine is electronic fuel and ignition controlled where does it get its info from for the engine to run? :?

ah what!, you obviously haven't read the marketing blurb properly, these things are a revelation :wink:

I guess it might be possible that on some cars an air leak in the manifold could fool a simple ecu system into altering the fuelling, but what you've got to ask yourself is 'if it's that good why don't race cars or manufacturers fit them as standard' - after all, they spend milions on R&D to improve power and efficiency on engine design.

I have to agree, I wouldn't waste my money on one, IMO 50 quid spent on a rolling road session would be much better for optimising your engine.

Total waist off time ,letting air into your intake on over run !! what bhp and mpg gains will you get out of that? !!!! :?

 

Another cleverly marketed gadget that does F**k all
