Guest ///Matt Report post Posted October 20, 2003 Hey this weekend im probably buy and install my new engine, I will be using a B27 bottom end with a B23 head and intake, now i need some ideas of mods i have 3000 to spend and the engine+head is costing roughly 1600-1800 and also what ecu should i use im thinking Motronic 1.1 or 1.3. So what mods can i do im already thinking of extractors + Exhaust i already have a pod filter so what else can i do? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andrew Report post Posted October 20, 2003 if you have a bit of extra $$$.. i'd go for an aftermarket ECU. Then you can get rid of the AFM which will free up 20 - 30 hp .. you can then tune it way better. I'm not sure if motronic will have a base tune for the eta bottom end and b23 head. It also leaves open the turbo option.... Link, Microtech... etc. (motec hah) Give us a bit more info on the car your putting it into.. year.. model.

Guest Andrew Report post Posted October 21, 2003 microtech then.. you can't do motronic 1.3 btw unless you change to a motronic gearbox Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andrew Report post Posted October 21, 2003 and isn't motronic 1.3 distributorless? if i were you i'd stick to using L-Jet or even better upgrade to Microtech ecu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Streetspec_is Report post Posted October 21, 2003 (edited) haltech, microtech, autronic, motech. i agree with Andrew get rid of the AFM and slip in a nice MAF setup and exhaust/extractors.....dont forget to sheild off that pod too.
