VR6Pete 1,455 Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 I arrived at 9:00am after setting off at 7am. Vince had pre-arranged to get my schrick inlet manifold re-machined up so that it doesnt stick.The Schrick went back on and Vince mapped the Dastek ECU up.RR Figures:Before: 201.0 BHP // 192.0 lb ft (feb 04)After: 210.8BHP // 205.4 lb ftclick here for graphs The car has been completely transformed yet again! Vince has also saved me the cost of an ABS Pump and ECU today, the reason why my ABS ECU wasn?t communicating with the VAG-COM was because the grey diagnostic cable wasn?t connected up in my fuse box! As soon as he connected that up, the ABS ECU sprung into action on the VAG-COM software, the fault, a left speed sensor, which has now been ordered. Had my polished put on too apart from the strut brace, need another engine mount for that and have 10mm shaved off to stop the throttle body hitting the brace. Vince also pointed out that my top suspension mount were shot and my rear axel bushes needed replacing very soon.A well worth trip to stealth, and a BIG THANKYOU goes out to Vince and his guys at stealth racing![ Edited ][ Edited ] Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted July 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 yep, that was bottom line figure.the part is only £7 anyway, but the timing sync was out also.. the big bulk was getting the Dastek fitted.... you just need to take off cam cover, remove sprockets on the cams, and its just one bolt. you can see if it's ok or not just by removin the cam cover Link to post Share on other sites

MarkGolf 6 Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 What are the benefits of it as opposed to your usual AMD chip/remap?Could you still run one with a V-Engineering charger? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted July 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 you cant take a standard ECU as far as a unichip.they are completley customizable, and the good thing is that u can just remove it, and no knows the wiser Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Chargers and dasteks don't mix too well according to my information as their fueling parameters are too restricted. Link to post Share on other sites

jcorallo 0 Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Chargers and dasteks don't mix too well according to my information as their fueling parameters are too restricted.Correct. If you wanted to use a Dastek with an SC, you have to start with a system that is 'over-fueling' first and then use the Dastek to 'lean' the fueling back out - so you could either raise the fuel pressure, or install bigger injectors... Its not that good at adding extra fuel to a system that would already be pushed to its limit. it only has a ~20% tuning window - whereas a charger requires over 50%.Jules Link to post Share on other sites
