Chops Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hey one and all, ive had a thought mulling over in my head for a while now. Ive steadily accumulated all the choice parts for a mental 5e build, using a td05 16g and a supercharger, and a a big old pile of other bits. One of these bits is a mines ecu i have from my last starlet, which was a real game changer for the pretty near stock set up, really felt the difference. I thought this would be able to deal with the planned new set up just fine, but moneys getting pretty tight right now and i was wondering if itd be worth selling it for now and going for a standalone when the time comes. Has anyone here got experience of running serious cusom builds on plug n plays? Would it be worth looking into a coilpack set up too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 A Mines ECU is not ideal for a big build, i have had one on a TD04 setup, it was ok but still a mapped ECU will be far better.Punt it for 500 ono and put that towards another ECU.And if you want to run DIS ignition then a Mines wouldnt be able to do that.

Chops Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 I know a mines couldnt control a coilpack setup, it was just an afterthought question ive been meaning to ask for a long time. I may just sell up the mines, thouh its painful to do cause i imported the thing and was chuffed to bits with it lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 As above the Ecus not really much use to you far better with a standalone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I reckon TD04 to although I have the same plan of engine but using my K1 I like the thought of all the power at the bottom end as for ecu the TD04 works well with emanage but TD05 might be worth going a different route, be cool to see a tongs hybrid on a 5E running mine's might surprise and do the job ha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rwdrev Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 i have a brand new ECU Master standalone sat that would control that forsale ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ramses Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 you can use the mine's ecu but you have to add a litle piggy pack like an sfac3 to alter fuel on big injector... it is already done with jam and blitz ecu with bigger injectors and turbo bigger than td04 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chops Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Deff going down the standalone route, itd already be up for sale if posting a for sale thread on a mobile wasnt a fucking ballache and i hadnt pancaked my laptop again lol. Can anyone outline the full benefits of a coilpack system over a dizzy? Nowhere i look seems to be able to give a clear answer to that question! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan_EP82 GT Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 i have some magic beans i would swap for the mines ecu. pm me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
