Hi all,
I was reading this forum for 2 months now as a guest. Really like the cars and it's projects over here.
It was time to register, and start with some basic questions that I have wrote down. Hope you guys can help me out.
I have read a lot about the tuners and there TT kits.. and my feelings says to go with UGR for the gallardo '06 Egear.
some basic questions (maby simpel ones, but just want some things to be clear)
** everyone here is talking about "WHP' that means that all the HP numbers are on the wheels? so add +10 - 20% for the HP on the flywheel?
Because in Europe everyone is talking about flywheel HP.
** Another thing is that I see a large difference in HP is the 'pump gas' or 'Race fuel' I get that, but 750HP Difference just for the fuel change?
our normal pump gas is; octane98, octane100, octane102 or at some fuelstations we can get E85.
So is there a sensor in the fuel that measures the alcohol%? and changes ECU-settings? or does ugr switches ECU settings with an controller or something?
This is probably not necessary because octane100 and octane102 will be the only fuel using in my case.
But still I'd like to know just for my information
** Is there any TTG in Europe? I had probably ask this directly to ugr but maby somebody here know's?
** Now I have a question that I really should ask ugr directly but I will give it a try (but maby it is good to have an public awnser for someone in my position);
How to get the TT-kit in Europe?
Shipping the car is probably very expensive and takes a long time by boat, shipping it by air costs a lot more?
So I was thinking about this for few days;
for stage 1; send Bosch ECU's to ugr and install the kit myself?
for stage 2: Ship engine, transmission etc to ugr, but then? installing wiring etc and build back the engine in the car is not the problem I think, but I need to ask how ugr feels about this. and if they can dyno the engine without the car around it?
I will contact ugr in the next few days, but before that I would like the input of the forum members over here.
Jep, issues for choosing a company on the other side of the ocean.... good job ugr
Sorry for some grammatical faults, remind that I am not from the States.
