$11 or $12P code??

Post by benk »

I'm building a stroked 5ltr turboed engine for my VR and was wondering which way would be the best way to go with a tune for it? I basicly have 2 options that I can go with...
1. Stick with $11 code and run the electronic auto or
2. Run the $12P code and go back to the hydrolic auto
either way I will be beefing up the auto to handle the extra power

Just wondering what the advantages and disadvantaged with each way?

$11 wont run your turbo (you'll need the right version of kalmaker, and an old dos laptop). $12P is much more capable and if your are fine with the hydrolic auto, then its the simplest and best option.

yeah well I think that solves it ;) not an option really lol
That was the way I was leaning anyway as I run all my other turboed engines with the $12P code. Havent had much to do with the electronic autos so am much comfortable with the hydrolic auto

sorry to be picky but I think you mean hydraulic not hydrolic?

is it as simple as changing the valve body and adding a kick down cable ? or are they massively different ?

yeah wasn't much of a speller at school either :)

not sure how different they are might have to check it out when I next rebuild one but I don't think it will be as easy as just changing the valve bodies over :?

Pretty much the only thing that is interchangeable with the two boxes is the planetry sets,drums,servo,steels,frictions and some of the seals.
