Whats the best way to get my new engine to run like it should? Its in a 88 5 speed GTU I bought it from a guy in Dayton who had finished puting the engine in and sold it before he got a chance to get it tuned or put a different computer in it. Its starts up fine and runs pretty good at idle, but its only slightly faster then my 3.1 5 speed. So I assume its not running to its full potential.

right. you need to either have a chip burned for your ecu, or run an emulator and tune it yourself. its not safe or smart to drive a swapped car without tuning

I kind of figured that, I have only driven it about 3 miles and parked it at my house. I had to get it off the semi that hauled it here from Dayton. And for the ecu should I just try and talk to someone from wot-tech and see if they can make me something or is it going to be harder then that? I see they have a obd1 tuning service does anyone have any experience with that?

SuperDave is the person you want to talk to about a 3500 tune. You need to check to see which injectors are in that engine. I remember at one point Matt put the 2.8 injectors in and they won't support the 3500.

I remember the car. Interesting. Is it still a MAF car?

Pm superdave. He is a tuning god and he can make you a chip. Idk if he is familiar with the maf's tho, but wouldnt hurt to check

I dont believe it is maf anymore, I guess I am not postive on what that would mean though? And to check the injectors do I just need to find a part number on them?

ahhh! you're the one that bought that?! haha i live about half an hour away from where that came from and i was going to get it but the guy said he already sold it lol....crap..wanna sell the wheels?

Yep I am the one, I was 100% for sure on it once I talked to him, I am pretty happy with it. I really like the GTU wheels on it, I had never seen them on a beretta before except in pictures they look good. So I will probably hold onto them sorry.

Thanks to everyone else for your help, I got ahold of dave and he is working on a price for the ecu.

Thats the car i helped milzy buy to make my headers.lol

Up and running great now, just have some other little issues to take care of. Dave is awesome thanks for the help everyone. It will be headed to the strip soon, I am beyond excited too see how it does.
