vtr turbo conversion

5th November 2006, 17:56

hi ppl, iv got a saxo vtr with an induction kit n boost valve.i hav just bought myelf a full turbo kit which includes turbo, induction kit, manifold, intercooler exhaust etc. if i fit it, will i have to get it remapped or get a standalone ecu and how much boost shall i stick 2 without uprating my engine internals?

please help!!!!!

yes it will need mapping

Its standalone all the way which will need mapping.

you can use the standard ecu but you'll need a sigcon from gmc as the standard ecu can't read boost, and you'll also need an Mf2 also from gmc in order to control the fuelling by 5th injector.

so wot will happen if i dnt use a sigcon or a mf2? can i just bolt the turbo kit on without messin anything else?

what will happen: BANG. Thats what.

have a search you will at the very least need a sigcon and an mf2 to control the extra injector(s)

so how much wil they cost roughly? as i hav bort the turbo kit but have been told that it does not require anything else apart frm a oil feed + return. a local guy has bort a turbod saxo n he said he hasnt changed his ecu + hasnt got a intercooler n his seems fine?

would deffo use intercooler, colder the air goin in the better. my vts runs std ecu with mf2 and 2bar map sensor, no sigcon. runs and boosts fine

I had a little talk with cituning on the phone and they recon if you buy there entry level turbo kit for the vtr its all just bolt on and doesnt require any sort of mapping, mf2 or sigcon i was very confuessed and thought to myself this cant just be as easy as bolting it on but he reconned it was anyone else recon there must be some sort of catch somewhere

there is its a rubbish kit. It might last for a while but you will not be getting the best from it by a long shot and you do run the risk of detenation.

I mean the standard map is pretty good and the injectors are extremely limited to how much extra the ecu can push through them. With the right conditions you could run mega lean and snotter goes a piston

So how about running this with a remap would that be any better thanks.

cittuning kits sposed to be shite, u could probly make a better kit mate if you tryed at home over the winter

hi mate was wonderin if u wired up ur mf2 urself and how difficult it would be, also how much did the 2bar map sensor cost u?

mf2 comes with instructions to fit it, and you need to at least a basic understanding of how it works.

So would it be correct to think that the mf2 doesnt require any sort of mapping or setting up just straight install

i no aa good company that does remapping mate, yh i would do the engine to put high compression pistons and stronger valves and springs. get some new cams if you want to

high comp pistons = bang

mf2 requires mapping, can do it yourself with a wide band Air Fuel meter but it wont be the best, best to haev it mapped properly on a rolling road
