Turning the vti into a typeS

[newkid]

H22a8 with sspec ecu - 217. Minimum v power (99Ron) to be used tho. @merlin has my old sspec ecu which you can just swap in. No knock sensor issues or anything as both engines have.

What's this?

Much confusion here.

Are we talking about the European vti-s that has atts?

As long as the European vti-s's engine is basically a h22 redtop with the 11.0:1 compression pistons and higher lift cams etc the type s ecu will give the full 217bhp. It will work.

To make things a bit clearer. I was asking about the vti (my model) which is redtop with 4ws, but i believe the same applies to the EU vti-s. Are you saying the european redtop already has the high lift cams and the only thing needed is the typeS ecu?

You said eu vti so I assumed your European not ukdm. I think euro vtis use the h22a5 engine which won't work.

A h22a8 engine will work with a type s ecu is your a ukdm h22a8.
Now who has one for sale in the next couple of weeks?

I have a 99 model vti LHD with h22a8. Here in spain the model that came with atts was only 185hp (h22a5).

H22a8 with sspec ecu - 217. Minimum v power (99Ron) to be used tho. @merlin has my old sspec ecu which you can just swap in. No knock sensor issues or anything as both engines have.

That's something that did not occur to me... The typeS uses superduper unleaded. Would 4ws still work with a typeS ecu?

Don't see why not. Engine ecu is separate to 4ws ecu.
