ae95- wagon kid Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Posted March 12, 2010 Dude you need to do some searching both here and on google :no2: been googling for the past 4 hours haven't found anything doesn't help with dial up i have been looking on this site and many others can't find much supposedly you need a aftermarket ecu to run them? thats as far as i got can someone give me a link or something cheers Quote
LukeAE71 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 Ok I'll clear it up for you a little. If you want to run velocity stacks and not the original intake then you would not be able to run the airflow meter which is essential for a stock silvertop ECU. If you are running this in an AE95 you would be best just to run the original intake and airflow meter. If you do not run an airflow meter you will need some sort of aftermarket computer or a computer from a Blacktop 20V as they are map sensored. I still think you would be best to stick with the original intake. I say this because the power gain you get from the expense of velocity stacks and aftermarket computer would be somewhere in the region of 4 kilowatts. Would you consider 4 kilowatts and a whole lot of sexy noise worth approx $2.5K?? My 20V in my AE71 with velocity stacks and aftermarket management made 4 kilowatts more at the wheels than an AE82 with stock ECU and intake. Quote
beerhead Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 The most powerful stock 20V's I've seen around all have air boxes from what I've seen, all open quads do is make noise and feed your motor different temperature air down each port. Blacktops run like crap on aussie fuel and even worse without the airbox attached, so it's not really worth the effort of the ecu swap to get open quads on there. ECU and tune if you want to do it right, I bet the factory airbox on an aftermarket tune would outperform open quads too. Quote
ae95- wagon kid Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Posted March 12, 2010 the engine that i am getting has an aftermarket ecu don't know what type but it sits in the glovebox engine comes with k and n cold air intake should i just stay with that cheers Quote
