wakeabby14 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Thanks mate I will look out of this, my brother is a mechanic so I will bring him a long for support.Also as well I was looking at installing a Bee-r system on the glanza you heard many bad things about them I don't want to destroy my engineThank josh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean_mc88 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I wouldn't install a bee-r unless you want your engine blown up, buy an omex if you want one its a softer cut Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fuel cut is the killer on these engines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wakeabby14 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Thanks i will not consider a bee-r system then, i cant wait to get a glanza v just want to find one that has not been ragged to bits. you guys have after market ECU's in your vehicles? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's a black one just popped up as a gauging interest. Looks a clean car. Some are running plug and play, others are using piggybacks' and others standalones. All depends on what you want from the car really. A PnP is your best bet unless you're going TD04. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wakeabby14 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 I really want a white one there like eye candy to me haha, I just dont want issues with fuel cut i will be putting cash into it when i get it, i just want it running as close to 200bhp as possible will probably take it down to tuning developments when i get it as i dont live too far from there.

Best money you will spend will be getting it mapped properly on a piggyback ecu ( EMB or EMU ) espically if you 200bhp James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean_mc88 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Ill be running stand alone on mine with a td04. But as above said id invest in an emanage blue or ultimate and have it mapped properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 If you want to get modding straight away and buy a relatively standard car then start off with a plug and play a wideband a mani and decat with an adjustable actuator. You will easily see 180+ with that for under £1k then as you carry on you can sell on the plug and play for basically what you paid for it and then move onto a piggy back once you have a better all round set up. Its instant bang for very little buck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wakeabby14 Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Thanks for the input guys been at work all day not been able to reply, Im going to buy one with a few bits on it already hopefully like FMIC, Cat back exhaust, fuel pump ect, How much are piggyback ECU's going for now a days?I really dont want any fuel cut issues or any restrictions.

ReeceGolliker Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Tuning developments doing a package for the Emage blue fitting mad mapping for £550 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Tuning developments doing a package for the Emage blue fitting mad mapping for £550Yeah thats a good price. Problem with that is though every time you do a relevant mod you have to go back and get the map tweaked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Get a plug and play, some have had them happily fuelling a TD04. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
