Despite warnings that it's not compatible, have decided what the hell and I'm gonna see what can be achieved with an Autronic SM4 ecu and breathing mods...

I'm taking my car into Zen performance on Saturday to have the following done:

1. Replace all turbo and intercooler pipes with custom stainless piping.

2. Fit larger high flow intercooler.

3. Uprated fuel pump.

4. Uprated FPR and injectors (if required)

5. Autobox oil cooler

6. Fit Autronic SM4

7. Mapping of car

Based on Brad C's experience I understand that the ECU may not communicate with the Autobox, but Zen are 75% confident that they can get it to work. If not, they wont charge me for the mapping.

Get my car back in 2 weeks, let's see what happens... :D

Good luck Matey , I really hope they can do it as it will be yet another option for VR4 owners in the UK

If not you'll have a manual, and everyone will be happy :D The autronic is great, would you like a copy of my map to help get them started?

Hi Brad,

That would be a great help! How can you get that over to me? Email?

Would really appreciate that!

Cheers,

Mart.

pm me your email addy and I'll send it through.

Although because that will save you at least 200 pounds worth of tuning, it'd be nice if you joined up as a full member :D

Hi guys,

Just a quick update - Good news!

Got a call today from Zen who are mapping the Autronic - they've installed the SM4 and have got the whole thing working. They bypassed the Autobox compatibility issue by keeping the std ECU just to control the gearbox. All engine signals are now controlled by the SM4.

They are VERY happy with results so far! Breathing seems to be an issue which they will overcome with a custom airbox

Get my car back in 2 weeks when I get back from hols.

Mart. :)
