    Tiptronic for A340E

    Apologies for bringing this thread back from the dead. Just wondering if anyone successfully installed this. Still have my controller around but no wiring diagram / instructions. AWShifting appears to no longer exist ... Can anyone help?

    Tiptronic for A340E

    I did quite some "research" about this issue and all of the options seem to have their downsides. The IPT box for example uses 4 pushbuttons to select gears and does not have an option to connect paddles or momentary up / down switches. They also have no intention of changing that anytime soon...

    Sorry for bumping an old thread. Just would like to know if there's any update on dyno, smog and install video. Thanks

    Conservative FI setup

    Not sure why, but I just don't really like the idea of NOS. But I'll think about the other suggestions that were mentioned here. I at some point you know someone who wants to get rid of a complete SC kit, I'd appreciate a heads up. Also contacted Richwood, I'll see what they have to say. Thanks

    Conservative FI setup

    I sure like the sound of that. Definitely something I will consider. We get 95 or 98 octane over here btw, although I'm not sure if the rating system is the same.

    Btw, does anyone know what happend to Richwood's website? All I get is a "placeholder" when I click the banner on this site.

    Conservative FI setup

    Yes, this is exactly how I figured it. First time fitting will probably be a lot harder than subsequent removals / reinstallations. Not having a complete kit is bad news though. I don't have the tools (and probably skills) to fabricate missing parts, and labor costs are prohibitive here in...

    Conservative FI setup

    Jake, it's a Kart track. Never been there. That's it: http://www.kartbahnwohlen.ch/ Steve, yeah sometimes Switzerland can be a bit annoying. But still, quite a few people mod their cars. They just find something that can be removed quickly or is undetectable (chip tuning for example is...

    Conservative FI setup

    A second engine might be an idea worth considering. But a "simple" supercharger setup still would be quicker to remove / install, no? And yes, LOOKING modded is not good. I won't even try to explain the details, but basically ANY modification is illegal. So as soon as it can be seen, heard...

    Conservative FI setup

    I hear you. FI is certainly not a modest form of tuning a car. But let's take intake and exhaust as an example. Could I pass the inspection with it? Absolutely not, unless it's invisible, does not affect emissions and sound level. So I would still end up having to remove all that stuff from the...

    Tiptronic for A340E

    Talked to Garrett (Suprastick) and he said it wouldn't work on a 93 SC4. Shiftkit, yes, maybe. But right now I'm just annoyed by not having real control over the shifts. I'm going to try the AWShifting and report back how it went.

    Tiptronic for A340E

    Well yes, the idea was to retain the stock ECU and the option to go from manual to auto and back using a button. If that takes some custom modding of KDog's unit, then that's what I'll do (or have done). Anyway, I did some more research on this topic and came accross AWShifting. I emailed them...

    Conservative FI setup

    XR8TT It's not just emissions if that's what you're thinking. It's simply illegal to increase the car's performance by more than some small percentage (don't remember, it's either 5 or 10%) without going through a "driving dynamics" test in which they check whether the brakes, suspension etc...

    Conservative FI setup

    Btw, I still have an M90 from my 89 Tbird Supercoupe. But it's collecting dust since about 10 years, so I guess it's just a junk of metal now

    Conservative FI setup

    Thanks for the replies. I don't think I could get away with a supercharger. And I simply cannot afford to take any chances since they not only would have me remove it, but I'd also have to pay a massive, MASSIVE fine ... we're talking several thousands :omfg:. So for me, it's removing and...

    Conservative FI setup

    OK, I'll admit. I'm kind of overwelmed by all the different FI setups you guys are running. I still remember the days when there were like 2-3 supercharged 1UZFEs :) I'm trying to figure out what the most conservative, proven and - most importantly - easy to install FI setup would be for my 93...

    Tiptronic for A340E

    Yeah I was looking into PCS as well as IPT. Looks like they all have their downsides. On another note: I have just been offered a KDog controller by one of the members here. I'd get that in a heartbeat if there wasn't that thread where several comments are made about it not working properly...

    Tiptronic for A340E

    Hi all Is there currently any tiptronic / eshift type controller on the market that works with an A340E (US spec 93 SC400)? I know there used to be the one made by KDog, but they're no longer available I guess? What about the Suprastick by Latent Solutions? Does it work? Any info appreciated...

    Tiptronic Controller

    I would definitely be in if you have one for me. Sent you a PM about this a couple of weeks ago. No idea where I am "on the list" though ...
