Spoke to lad at Curborough last week who had a home built Mk2 16v Turbo and he was using 8 injectors and Pug 205 dizzy and ecu iirc?....Was running approx 200bhp.
I am liking this thread very much! Motorcycle throttle boddies and pug ecu's!!! Sounds like we might have cheap effective tuning back for dubs and not complete rip offs for simple things for old cars!!!!
More than the ECU . If this works well (which i hope) there could be quite a few gutted people out there. Well done that man .
This isn't a new idea, just a good one. Louis has been posting the link to Chipwizards on here for at least a year now.
Just a thought... exactly HOW mapable are the Pug ECU's? Do they have 4 fixed zones, 12 movable xones, 4 moveable zones, 30 fixed zones? Tell us more!
you can find the ecu on 405`s,306`s,106 rallye`s& citreons,try and find a ecu that is pre-numberpad imobelised although he is on with a solotion for the later ones,the 405 loom is more suited as it is nice and long,just been speaking to him about the mapping,is lift pump failed but was making 230-235 bhp prior to problems,eng was a std 180 with some bigger injectors out of a rover turbo and a intercooler of a vauxhall frontera,best of speaking to wayne for questions on ecu http://www.chipwizards.co.uk/ the car originally started out as a 1.3 and built on a budget a few mates working on it on evenings &weekends,be nice to see what it makes with a bigger turbo&injtors
OK Silly question but I don't know the answer....sooo Where is the ECU mounted on say a pug 405 ? and would ( if I went to the scrappy etc ) just cut back out as much of the loom as poss ?? And as mentioned earlier about different types, what reg / yer etc should I be looking for ? Or can an Audi TT loom fit through plugs etc ? I know silly question but I don't know ta Edited by: green with envy
its mounted in the scuttle panel on a 405,just take the full loom from the ecu to the eng bay,its seperate simular to a valver but more wires,the ecu for my t/b`s came of a L-reger,fot the turbo setup ile have to look in my book
depends if your going turbo or t/b`s,check out the link for details,ile post some pics of my t/b setup and bits used,mine cost a tenner
your best of giving him a ring,ive had no problems with mine just not making the figures the numbers on the website www.chipwizards.co.uk next time I see him ile ask if he`s got time to log on and answer some questions
Yeah a Citroen BX 16 Valve uses the Pug Mi16 engine and ECU though it's in a higher state of tune in the Citroen.
the mi16 is Mot.ML4.1/3 system,you need the magnet marreli 8P to run throttle bodies,theres plenty about,you will find them on the pugs and citreons with the squareish plastic rocker cover
my old man got a 405 wonder what he say when it wont start in the morning how hard are they to wire in to use throttle bodies ?
