Removed Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 what about going for the UTEC then? might as well be the guinea pig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenG Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Hmmm. Would YOU spend £1600 on an ECU, harness, and new gauges and sensors because your existing one couldn't be reused? And then another £800 or so on tuning? That would make the ECU more expensive than the charger!!! I do like the look of it, but at present I'm trying to find out what the pin-outs are for the European ECU so I can see if it would actually work!

And then another £800 or so on tuning? i don't get you mate. Surely the Utec (which is cheaper than your quoted prices above) would be instead of the above mentioned? (apart from the Zeitronix) No need for harness as far as i understand, and tuning it (given that we found a place to do it at...) surely would be cheaper than that £800????

I'm pretty sure you need a harness - but I'll double check what I've read. You also need a tuner box to attach the sensors and that weighs in at just under 500$. The Utec box is around the 1000$ mark. And they need their own proprietary AFM gauge - my wideband AEM UEGO is incompatible - so not only would that have to be fitted, but a whole new O2 bung would have to be welded on as well. ££££££ + Tuning it will probably be cheaper - what I meant to say was, that price I stated was including installation. I don't know what someone would charge for setting it up properly though because naturally nobody over here has done one yet. It would be good to get all 5 maps onto it though. It's a snowball effect... not sure its good vfm, but it DOES look a good piece of kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest prescience Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Stephen, Sorry for hijacking this thread but Matt and his tuner Eric have offered you to call them (even give you their cell numbers) to help sort your tuning issue. They have had no response from Abbey or yourself to these offers (perhaps you were unaware). I think you'd be mad not to take them up on it - Matt is pretty confident they can sort the issue with the SS box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorian - I'd contact them if I could do anything. But until I can actually connect my laptop to my own car, what can I do? I've told Matt this on email already. The reason why I am chasing pinouts are to see if the UTEC solution would be a straight plug onto the UK car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still trying to diagnose the problem and this sort of information is critical - if my problems can be recreated elsewhere the chances are it is not an equipment failure.

Spill Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 might as well be the guinea pig here I meant Spill btw not you stephen Wrong title but never mind, glad to see that the change over to your new site hasn't changed you in anyway V I'd been the guinea pig on the hydrolock thingy but this time I do at least want to try and get SS box to work before I spend any more dosh, but got to say I'm tempted.

I might go for it too mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
