thats ok mate just wanted to know ok thanks mike
is that charged or NA?
Both, thats the max flow rate for the TB, ~130bhp. Increasing to a 1.6 ECU will knock off your fuel and timing map. Yes the car will work still but if you do it, its pretty pointlessl, even with the 1.6 TB. Although people will tell you the car is faster, they have no proof of this, just what they think.
old post but intrested in the 130bhp restriction on TB ?!!
Ed (or anyone else), can you confirm that a 1.0l throttle body will be sufficent to run with a 1.6 ECU, injectors ecu etc. and not restrict it ?? i can get the 1.0l to run, i cant get the 1.6
basically a 1.6 engine and 1.0l throttle body ?
the car has ga16de, inducion kit + 2 1/4" straight through pipe and thats basically it.
i cant seem to get it too run on the 1.6l. i have 2 throttle bodys (no gaurentee's they work tho as from scrapyards - i know the 1.0l one is perfect as was removed from a car that was on the road few weeks ago)
im leaning towards a MAF fault, as if i disconnect this it ticks over perfect (altough only revs out to 3k), plug it in and bog's down + runs like an absolute pig. the elements look ok + have been cleaned.
will the fuel pump be upto the job ? or should i swap it for another ? primera fit ? almera ? walbro make uprated one at all ??
thanks
