Igniton conrol question..

[Tdurr]

So I talked to the guy who is gonna tune my car, he suggested i get a bigger turbo(hehe) and a BTM or something of the sort. I know MSD has a BTM for like 250 new, but i was wondering if any other company made something like a BTM? or like a 6AL with the same features.


p.s. would u guys trust a ebay brand 16g... :ninja:

I dont know man that would be 250 bucks in the wrong direction. I say save your money till you have a little more and either find a tuner that can chip n tune an ecu for you or go with ectune, crome, etc. if you have a little more money than a hondata.


Get yourself the adapter plate thing and bolt up a obd1 distributor add a couple of wires and your set.



Unless your feeling extra lazy right now dont go the BTM route if your funds will allow or you can deal with the wait. :)


Ebay is 50/50. I think I would rather buy a used name brand turbo and run the risk of having to pay to rebuild than going with the cheap ebay turbos.

^^ yea the plan is later go obd1(prob end of this year if funds allow) but i want the car to still be reliable enough that i can DD it with out worrying about it randomly blowing up while going to work or something stupid.
but at the moment, i dont think ill even get the bigger turbo till after Import Alliance. So i might just get a Mallory 6Al and be done with it for a while.

i agree...with the man above you lol....im going to do that in jan...forsure...i cant wait no longer...

But my little setup is doing good. with the t25 youll be oright guy.

[Tdurr]

^^do u have the mallory 6al or 6al2?

[Rendon LX-i]

6al ....but i would get the btm guy...my shit burned up and it had to pay a good 80 to get it fixed

[Tdurr]

hmm.... okay....ill see

[AccordEpicenter]

obd1 is the best way to go by far, the safc and btm will work but its sketchy, i dont reccomend it for over 10-12psi boost max.

[Tdurr]

^^ that works, i plan on 8psi daily.

[Rendon LX-i]

Thats what i said LOL....by the time you know it i was at 12 hehe

[Tdurr]

^^ see u have a DD, aka the scion, I dont. This is my only (running) car. soooo yea...

[Rendon LX-i]

i ran it for awhile at 12psi when i used it for my dd bro....it would handle it....so YEAAA BITCH YA lol

[Tdurr]

lol stfu....

thats for a while not for a long time. silly.

My real plan is to boost it, get a big 16g, and get it tuned by a pro(like 300 bucks) then ride it out till i save up for obd1(after school starts and all that stuff) then yea... hopefully ill have a built motor and some cool things to go on there too.

you need to shop tuners. if i supply the ecu, my tunner will sell me the neptune rtp and dyno tune it for $450.

[Tdurr]

^^ yea well this lil car club that im attempting to join has a discount with another big name company here(battlegrounds) soooo yea... might be getting the hook up :)
