hey gainzy,,,i considered the emb and the emu before chossing the emu emu is just like an uprated emb...it allows for a more refined tuned due to its software and maps. i'm not sure if emb has 2 step limiter function (not that it is important for the average daily driver...but if you drag then its a benefit)....if i already had emb, then i dont think it would be worth it to "upgrade" to emu

smh..have to retype everything...had responded in detail and it got lost...so i'll be more concise now. i think i paid around US$1000 for a new and complete emu package in 2006...plus the fields harness. i can speak for emu with stock 4efte ecu, i think they work well together IF the tuner takes their time and does a decent job. if apexi FC is going to be around gbp650,,,then its got a direct rival in ME221 which is a much more recent product, so i'm not sure that would make apexi Fc very popular given its dated technology. i think PnPs like jams blitz, etc should really only

nice work colin lol....this will work for some set ups, but as you know its not ideal problem is you tune fuel fairly ok...but there is no outlet to refine ignition with that combo so in theory the tune may not be optimised as it relies solely on the stock ecu for ignition adjustments its even more trouble when you run low octane gas

i understand that and agree fully AdamB ecus like mote , gems, pectel, etc are seen as higher end spec with tons of features, uprated cpus, complex algorithms,---basically the works and a bag of chips. so those tend to be out of the average starlet build budget and requirements i'm being devil's advocate here, ok, we hear a lot about apexi power fc over the years, but with the advancement of technology and cpus, how does it really rate up nowadays to link, haltech, MS, ME221, which can be made to be direct plug and play without too much hassle. i mean it does not even have a 2 step limit

thanks for your input stu...as i know you have a lot of experience in the area question to you---do you think for the average set up we find here that there is a significance difference to be made tuning wise between a piggyback and standalone? (4e/5e with hybrid ct9/td04/gt28/td05/vfxx running 295/330/360/460cc injectors, stock intake, stock ignition system, etc)

now here's my second tad bit-----emu/piggyback VS standalone....this is the area that usually results in a lot of talk PS - my emanage package included emu, greddy boost solenoid/harness, afr harness, and controls ACIS manifold using one of the auxiliary outputs/maps....alll done up using a fields extension harness to make it "plug an play" technically speaking i went on from my 5efte ct9 295cc injectors set up to running a 5efte TD04L set up with 360cc injectors in 2008/2009...i stuck with the emu as it worked quite good before, though i was advised that a standalone would have been bet

found a few minutes, so let me start i've had a Jam ecu in the past on an ep91 with ct9 set up...it took the usual few miles to settle down and worked flawlessly, even on our low octane gas. I would say it was a nice investment at the time (maybe 2006/2007) and cost around gbp525 if i remember correctly...we had no dyno at the time so i cant comment on figures. Another added bonus was that when driven sensibly, my per tank gas mileage increased, so it kind of payed for itself over the period. i had a friend who also ran a jam ecu on an ep82 with hybrid ct9...same experience as me having s

well...the diameter measured approximately 21.7mm tread pitch is either 1.50mm or 1.25mm....its kind of difficult to tell with the digital caliper i hope the others can shed some accurate light for you

this topics is started as a result of a spin-off discussion from another tread, however, this has long been a notable talking point over the years. i think its time to put the cards on the table and hopefully have a decent/civilized discussion about each and their place in the starlet community. http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/105733-td05-16g-thinking-of-a-different-turbo/ popular plug n play on the 5e/4e scene include Jam, blitz, sard, mines, etc popular piggybacks include emb, emu, dastek, etc popular standalones include, apexi power fc, microtech, megasquirt, me221, autronic,

cool video amjad

will do as soon as i get home from work tonight

question---what kind of additional weight do these cages bring?

i honestly dont know where i'd get such on my island...i'd ask and see if any of my close friends have one

hey Robsr i actually have a disassembled gearbox in my store room,,,very close to hand...,but what tools would i need to determine tread pitch/size?....as i doubt i have such readily available, but could ask around and see digital caliper?---i have that a die/tap? ---i dont have those

i don't want to derail this tread, which is about td05 16g set up possibilities,... so is it possible that we could start another tread about "emanage vs standalones"....i would be very willing to share my thoughts there...as i like the discussion between foggy, ramses, gainzy or could a moderator cut their replies and create such a tread? ---if those parties are willing to have their responses removed from this tread of course!! or someone start such a tread

hey colin, dont hold me to this, as this is off my head from a long time ago but i think the ep82 turbo and ep91 turbo have slightly different front shocks where they mount to the top spring seat "cut out slot" i think the ep91 has a slightly bigger "cut out slot" --maybe the shaft itself they are interchangeable as complete uints

its one of the main reasons i went coilovers...because buying konis plus springs plus the time/cost involved in sorting the front struts simply approximated a set of decent coilovers if you already have springs and dont mind the labour, then konis do handle quite well

i'd be surprised if the front were complete shocks....but most likely they are just inserts i'd be happy to be wrong...but that is how they were in the past

yeah,,,i've reused and seen stock headbolts reused by others without issues.

seen specs online say 0.07mm which is about 0.0028" bore clearance

yeah...i had seen that one and linked above...was just hoping to get the entire document if possible

good read

thanks AdamB....as always

GordG...dont quote me on this but i think the c52 4age pinion may work with the ep82 c52 gear set and the the c56 4age pinion may work with the ep91 c56 gear set http://austarletclub.com/index.php?/topic/8550-gear-box-question/ depending on what you want to achieve, can't you just get a good working c52 or c56 levin gearbox (depending on the ratios you prefer) and swap the bellhousing from the ep82/91 gearbox....easy enough if you have the technical ability to do it i think slostar used the 4.3 diff in his old ep82 and that was an 11sec car

lolol....calling in the favour on pops the prior work was poorly done, ,,but it does look like a relatively easy repair for someone with decent skill
