wasnt the harrop designed for LS4 tb? http://shop.zzperfor...dy-for-LSJ.aspx

Yeah, that one fits but the throttle is said to become quite twitchy. You need to modify the TB scalar value, but a twitchy throttle is not something you want in a light RWD VX...

So finally got time to give an update on this ecu transplant. Most will know this has taken a long time and a fair amount of money for me to go down this route, I have had the car back for some time now, the mapping has just not been correct, CMS and Klassen have worked for many months, in fact longer, trying to get the map to work the way it should for an supercharger setup, however it just won't. So after my last visit to CMS to get what we had hoped was the final version put on the car (the drive home was just was not pleasant) it was time to make hard decisions. The z20let ecu works great for a turbo but it doesn't for a s/c thats it... Last week Jon and myself came to the decision to pull the plug , real shame after all the effect but it just was not going anywhere, before I decided which ecu to use LSJ as Joe has done or DTA as I have had one sat on my desk for 3 years, we decided to try the z22se one again, as in all the time I have had the harrop CMS and Klassen have managed to do far more with the ecu than they originally thought they could. They had the other harroped car there which they have been working on and so they put original ecu back on and did some mapping. IT worked Jon will probably post here at some time with all the details as it's not my car I won't say much, but it made somewhere near 370 and drive as Jon said" Like and s/c should drive" Finally some great news, I will replace the ecu again once I have managed to buy back the bits as I sold like, loom, TB act... I am flat out at work this month and away all next so for me it will be Sept before I am back on the road driving my car again long wait but I am certain it will be worth it. PS It's 38C here in Bucharest hows the rain in England

[Goosenka]

Good news mate. Actually it's a stunning day here

[PaulCP]

Great news! Now you've got me thinking about it again Just when i thought i had decided to stick at st2

[techieboy]

Great news Nick. Trying the Z22SE ecu again was definitely worth a try, before going through the hassle of building a custom loom for the DTA. Especially now more is known about the ideal cam timing. Definitely handy that Courtenay's had a test mule ready to roll, to hand. Will look forward to hearing Jon's thoughts on it too.

[Mangham54]

fcukin hell Nick... Glad, but sorry to hear it at the same time. Hope it finally sorts itself for you and you can finally get the monster on the road.

[NickB787]

Yea pleased that it worked only wish I had tried it earlier really, Paul want to go for a ride I owe You can't be sunny in England it's summer......

[rob999]

Good news Nick. Get it back on the road/track and abuse it

[Muncher]

Anyone want to buy a nice VXT ECU kit ready in a box? :/

[The Batman]

awesome news bud 366bhp is what it made now thats the magic number to beat

[RobNA]

I will replace the ecu again once I have managed to buy back the bits as I sold like, loom, TB

No problem Nick Are you going to want them before Aug 4/5 weekend? If so I can go and get them one evening

[PaulCP]

Paul want to go for a ride I owe You

Yeah, maybe or maybe not

But probably maybe early next year




Note to self "No no no!!!!!! - get it out of your mind"

[NickB787]

awesome news bud

366bhp is what it made

now thats the magic number to beat

No higher I am putting the smaller pulley on as I have a couple of ideas about heat build up

I will replace the ecu again once I have managed to buy back the bits as I sold like, loom, TB

Don't think so Rob will see if I can get some time to fit them

No problem Nick Are you going to want them before Aug 4/5 weekend? If so I can go and get them one evening

Good news Nick. Put me down for a pax!

[MAXR]

....Awesome News Nick! It's great that member's like you, Nev, Joe & others continue to push the boundaries, making life easier for the rest of us. It'll be good to catch up with you at a track this year, so that you can take me out...

[smiley]

No higher I am putting the smaller pulley on as I have a couple of ideas about heat build up

And so the 400 battle begins.

[Nev]

Wow, thats a surprising turn up for the books Nick. Am glad for you. Sounds like you need to tell work not to send you away so much, so you can actually drive the thing!

my money is on Joe

[haggi961]

Let me get this right. If like me or others who have a stage 3 supercharger setup right now only need the harrop charger and then just mapping on the ecu we have fitted and we will have a stage 4 ?
