Getting 4AGE BT Auto. Need some guidance.
Hi all,
Registered way back in 2006 but hardly post here. Been driving a 1.3 EE100 all these while (yeah 1.3 is seriously underpowered, thank God it's manual!) Looking to get an auto BT 20v halfcut next week for my AE100. Planning to go for manual initially but since car will be driven by my girl sometimes, I got no choice but to go for auto tranny. Since it's an auto, I am expecting the power to differ by some margin compared to a manual one. Few questions:
1. Since BT is a high-revving engine, I assume auto wouldn't be able to fully-utilize the power due to the auto gb. What will be the peak rev achieved on average? Would the output differ alot from a manual? How does it compared to a 4AFE (auto/manual)?
2. Will replacing the auto ECU to a manual or 6speed one does any help? Or maybe 3rd party ECUs like Unichip, E-manage?
3. How is the fuel consumption as compared to a 4AFE auto? Current 1.3 though underpowered but did gave me some very good FC. A full tank of RON95 can last me around +/- 450KM.
On another note, I am currently on a 1.6" piping with a straight flow muffler. What's the optimum size of piping for an auto setup? Should I go for extractor as well?
Would appreciate sifus can enlighten me on these. Thank you in advance! Can't wait to join in the 4AGE family soon! :)
