oh well then its not an ebay one then, definately work towards fuel system upgrades/ecu, remember you will need another custom dump + screamer or whatever you do with the ext gate..

yeah mate everything ive got is ready to bolt on and fire it up, screamer is already on wastegate

[cruzclub07]

Considering that people have run a 13 second pass on a TD05 14b and run 12's on a 16g, I think there are other things you should be doing before putting a different turbo on it.

If you tell us what year your car is, we can tell you if the ecu is chippable or not.







You chip haters . Like Johnson said, they are legal, give great fuel economy and driveability, and don't blow head gaskets. And don't cost you a fortune in dyno time and take another 6 months to get the cold start right.

its a 91 Vr4 J-spec.

[brisvr4]

Shouldn't be a 91 Jspec. Anything after 88 is illegal to import.

[cruzclub07]

Nope its defenitley a 91 jspec mate, your more than welcome to have a look if you like and maybe tell me whats wrong with my car lol.

[jerome266]

ive got an 89 jspec...

[brisvr4]

89's may have just squeaked in before they changed the 15 year rule.
The one that Mahommad has is a facelift and can't be rego'd legally unless you do a dodgy with it.
It wasn't brought in as a personal import was it?

You might also want to have a look at the Dotars website for more info.

yep my ecu is the MD150427 so it can be chipped then?

[brisvr4]

It should be but the best way to tell is to pull the cover off and see if there is an Eprom in there.
Check this site on what to do...

i have a set of 560cc injectors and fuel pressure reg you can have, been used for 3000kms. i'm chasing $400 for them both. reg has a speco gauge on it. also have a evo 3 big16g and ss manifold which is $600 this setup should get you around 380hp at the flywheel with appropriate internal mods.

[cruzclub07]
