jamesmark Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I thought the Greddy ones were universal ish) as they fit MR2's too, so should have been ok for a UK spec. Have you set it correctly? As Greddy units are not preset. I am sure someone will confirm for sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure someone will confirm for sure though. i havent fitted it as yet i was looking for some instruction on here and found a link another guy had posted saying he bought the same greddy fcd and it says on the box FOR JAP SPEC ONLY, he also asked what would it do if fitted but nobody replied so still none the wieser at present, i did find some instuctions but they aint very clear, need to know what wire is the boost wire for the ECU.

jamesmark Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 With all due respect mate I think you should have attempted to find out if it will work before naming someone, your advice thread might have had more luck than the other one.

little num Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 With all due respect i did find out that it wouldent work on a UK car, and im not going to fit it just incase it throw's the ECU light up and i cant reset it, ive had 2 PM's also saying it wont work, so im after a thor or somthing tried and tested on a uk model.

jamesmark Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Fair enough, I would double check the wiring as the Greddy unit and the Thor unit use the same wiring (I have fitted both). Shame those 2 people could not give advice in the thread rather than PM, so that their knowledge can help people in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 It'll fit a UK car, you can see fitting instructions here http://mkiv.com/techarticles/bcc/bcc_install/bcc_intro.htm if you need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case and Paul does sell and fit these, I think someone needs to apologise to Jody. I thought they were the exact same, kinda worrying the 2 tech guys by PM.

Paul Whiffin Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I dont think we've ever fitted one to a UK car here but its all in black and white on the mkiv.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I dont think we've ever fitted one to a UK car here but its all in black and white on the mkiv.com Personally I would set the Greddy up using a volt meter to 1.2bar and fit it, it is not going to cause harm except fuel cut.

ADL Mark Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I've got one on my UK car working fine and never caused a problem. Don't jump the gun fella, Jody won't sell you what you don't need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
