i know ive read this somewhere before but i cant remember where and i cant seem to find it, so ill ask anyway
Just how far can you take a 202 EFI with a stock ECU? i know its not far, but if theres something i can do to get some more poke for now it would keep things interesting until the big power comes along
cheers
i would guess that marginal gains could be got by using a high flow air filter, extractors, exhaust, blah blah blah all the cheap bolt on stuff and a custom tune.
talk too sammy on here he just converted to delco ecu on a 202 efi and is getting good results from the ecu conversion.
yeah ive seen it has been done but dont know much about it.
i dont want to make heaps of power or anything but a bit more poke always helps til im out of uni and can drop a 5.0 in it
ill talk to sammy, thanks
delco setup isnt that hard I went 90% of the way on my vh but never finished it. I will also be doing on the a bmw soon. If you get all the stuff you need and sit down have a look at how it all work its not that difficult to figure out the hardest part would be tuning. Theres huge gains to be made with the removal of the flap style afm and being able to run bigger cams and the like

Basically what you'll need is the entire engine loom the little box thats on the dissy (forgot what they call it) ecu and a few other minor things like the other end of the plug where it goes to body loom, sensors, fuel pump, map sensor and oxy sensor (note some things you can use off the vk including pump and some sensors). You'll also need 2 more injector plugs these you solder onto the camira loom They run bank fire injection so it doesnt really matter where you wire them as long as they are hooked up paralell and not in series. Next big thing is hooking up a VN-VR v6 throttle body to vk manifold not really that hard.
Then its just a matter of hooking everything up some wiring will need extending. U need to lock you dissy (which means removing the mechanical and vacuum advance). Splice it into the body loom so it haspower and all that jazz.
Tune is the next major issue best bet is Sammy as he has one thats running will save heaps of money getting it running.
I have all the diagrams you'll need to sort it out. If your got a head for mechanical things and wiring (not that hard just compare diagrams to actual loom) you can pretty much figure it all out.

Pm me your email addy and i'll send you all the related info i have. Really top conversion, this is still pretty unique and really wakes up the old 202. You probably get a loom and related things for $100 (which is what i paid) Which is a ****load cheaper than buying a aftermarket ecu which you still gotta wire up.

yeah so far it seems like a worthwhile way of doing things
VK EFI's work beautifully when you replace 3 main drawbacks
1 Analog ECU, can't do much with them.
2 Vacuum advanced timing. Combine Injection & Ignition ECU such as delco will fix 1 and 2 and also 3 with good vacuum sensor.
3 Restrictive straw called air flow meter, the've got a good tuned manifold and factory extractors, BUT a crippled air flow because of that meter.
I dropped an AUTRONIC ecu onto a VK EFI motor, and it was like a new car full of life. Massive gain without touching the engine, except for sensors, dissy change and removing that air flow meter.
Mate what dizzy did you use with your autronic im doing something similar but with a haltech . I am planning on using a modified vl dizzy but im not sure if it will work
