Well sideshow you've wired up more than 100 of these, tell me how fast they are... 0 - 100?
i dont waste my time measuring how fast they are
i do know that some 100kws do keep up with the 20vs
only way u will know is put it on dyno and check mixtures
but i did wire one up the other day and guy rang back and said its abit sluggish
i said get o2 sensor fitted then let me know
o2 sensors can be crucial on 20vs
most people might say they are not but they have only touched 2 or 3 of them
and just to be sure i would get the o2 sensor fitted to see how it goes
it does make them sluggish down low
i know they only work below certain rpm but from what feedback i get back most the ones without o2 sensors say they are sluggish
it might not fix the prob but atleast you will get that side of things out of the way and you cannot blame the o2 sensor
plus another thing is you have ot rev them to 8000 then change gears otherwise they feel slow especially with a std 5 speed
they are very basic engines so not much can go wrong when doin conversion
at the end of the day they are ok
but if you want value for money then .................................................. ................
I have wired a few, maybe not 100 but a few and I agree that the 02 sensor is a must to get the most out of this ecu. As is a working speed sensor.
I thinking about selling this car as this conversion has brought me nothing but frustration. What do you think I could get for it, at this stage?
Here is a link to pictures

ill give you 500 bucks heheheheeh
then ill fix it for nothing in about an hour then i can sell it for 5 g
hehehehehe
pm me if your interested in my offer heheheheeheheh
it's probably worth 2-3K
Are you going to install the o2 sensor and an airbox?

MATT.
yer i bet he does feel good
i hear shit like this all the time
people want to sell cars because they cant get them working good
thats because they take their cars to fukt mechanics who dont know how to fix their cars properly
i usually get things sorted out in the end but you have to pay for it
this owner doesnt want to pay to get it fixed properly so i guess he will get what he deserves and sell the car
i even try to stop customers goin to aftermarket ecus because i tell them i will eventually fix their car and get it running good on std ecu
he wants to fix everything himself and he has reached limit of his ability
unfortunately theres no one smart enough in melb to fix it
so he wants to sell it now
most people are on forums to find answers because they are tight asses and down want to spend moneyu to get an expert technician to look at it
once people get this theory into their dumb ass heads the world will be a better place
just ask any really good mechanic what they think of forums on the internet
these days i dont really care im on here to be a smart ass not to help heheheeheheh
when it comes to wiring i reckon it pays to get someone to do it right the first time can save sooo many hassles later
the same can be said for mechaincial work if you have no clue about what your doing
so i guess i just agree with sideshow lol
"these days i dont really care im on here to be a smart ass not to help heheheeheheh"
That and sell your work
I Hope you are a toymods sponsor.
MATT.
P.S. I Do agree if you want it spot on pay someone that knows what they are doing .
But we all start somewhere and usually with no money
Money = time and time=money.
If you have 20 years free to sort it out, you save money. If you dont have time you spend money. And the world continues to go round.
