Dan_Henderson Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Ok lads so plans are to build a sort of budget track car ep82 gtt (don't want to go too mad)I understand u can do a stage 2 relatively cheapAs I'm not chasing big power I don't fancey paying out for a piggy back ecu and wondered if I could get away with running a fuel cut defender and standard ecu with a td04?Also what 'type' would I need as I've read there are different types 1 and 2 etc?Thanks in advance to anybody that can give abit info =) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Dont run a fcd,not a great way of going about things.pretty unsafe also.run a td04 @ 10/11 psi just below fuel cut and that will be plenty quick enough compared to stndrd ct9 @ same boost level Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_Henderson Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 What sort of bhp will it be running below fuel cut? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 On a td04 with decent front mount circa 170 bhp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_Henderson Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 I've done quite abit of reading but I'm still abit baffled, is 200bhp possible without a piggy back or do I put my hand in my pocket? Whats the most common piggyback to use? I see alot of lads using emanage blue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 With a fcd and supporting mods my first starlet made 222.6 bhp.standard ecu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 But engine failed as it leaned out ,didnt help that fcd was on there and will never touch one again. Fuel cut is there to save engine and not a gud idea to hinder that . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 If you want a reliable track car, get it on some management, not only will it be smoother, it will be more reliable and easier to fault find. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_Henderson Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Will emanage blue be ok for what I need it for? Td04 around 1 bar?Looking on eBay they are only around £200, I thought they where closer to £600 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Yeah the EMB will be fine. TD do offer a package for supply, fit and map of the unit.For £600 you can get a half decent standalone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
