Gen1 Efi mod (-not Magna...)

Post by constapa »

Well, this it! After two hard weeks it works perfectlyand i'm excited! Couldn't find a Magna EFI here so i patched the stuff from a Nissan truck. It wasn't easy because we had to reprogram the ECU and the MAF sensor is a delicate thing but everything is fine now. My paj has far better response to throttle and far better low torque. In places that i used the 3rd gear now i use 4th. Next? Mmmmmm... :idea: A turbooo???? Mmmm...
Cheers

There was a bad & a good thing in that case. The bad: difficult to tune it and make it run smoothly. The good: the ECU is from the last generation so is more efficient.
Performance & consumption go together (engines horses need to eat something...). At the highway economy is much better, but in every case you push the engine hard economy is dead. Generally, yes, economy is better. This my sense for now but i''l measure consumption and let you know...
