I'm building a car for my son.
we've picked up a worked G200w turbo motor. I believe Ex Japan Piaza.
my experience with Gemini engine changes ended 15 years ago and that was carbie sohc blocks.
My questions are;
it needs a computer, i've read as much as i can but need help to clarify things.
Can i run an ECU from another vehicle and where in western Sydney could i get it installed and i believe it would need to be re-mapped.
Is it easier to go after market.
Cost is an issue but my knowledge and ability don't go this far.
There will be more questions soon.
Thanks,
G200w turbo implant
Re: G200w turbo implant
Hi Couchy .
These motors go very well and make 135hp . Roughly double a SOHC .
Parts are scarce but dont let that stop you . We can direct you to some gasket kits etc .
You could see Micks Motorsport in Sydney , he is a tuning Genius and tunes some of the highest hp cars in Australia
He has a soft spot for geminis , starting his business with them .
It wont be cheap full gasket kit is $350 from MDS spares (google it)
Sprint 500 ECU is $1100 + install + tune
You can use cheap Delco ECU of something like a Camira or Pulsar , or a 2nd hand after market unit from another car/ Gemini
that can end up costing the same as new .. will only be cheap if your a wiring whizzkid . Go new

Re: G200w turbo implant
Anyone know if the g200w dizzy's are CAS or Hall effect type?
Reason I ask is I might be able to sell my brand new microtech lt10s (configured for 4ze1 dizzy) to you for a good price.
I paid over $1200 for it a few years ago with upgraded 3 bar internal map sensor and additional auxiliary output. It is still brand spanking and sealed in plastic. Has been sitting in my wardrobe for 3 years.
I am most likely upgrading to haltech ps1000 so this may be for sale.
If if will work with your setup then that woul be your cheapest option

Means I could probably run mine on it to. I might direct some of the twincam guys thisaway.
Ps Mick good move on the PS1000 32984738297298573429857453times better than the LT10s...

Re: G200w turbo implant
Keen to see photos of this engine!
ECUs are something that require a bit of research to choose the best one for you. Unless you're electrically savvy, I'd suggest talking to a tuning shop so they can recommend an ECU they're used to working with and setting up. I'm pretty sure my G180W dizzys are reluctor, but I could be wrong, it's been years.
Don't go too crazy with boost and timing unless it's got forged pistons, if you put a leg out of bed it'd be a hell of a waste!

Re: G200w turbo implant
I'm a bit late to the party, but the Delco '808 with a NVRAM and USB comms board from pcmhacking.net would be pretty good for your setup. I'm running that on my G180Z road car, and 4ZE1-T drift car and they do a whole lot more than most cheap aftermarket ECUs.

Re: G200w turbo implant
I concur that the tuning resolution you get with a Delco or equivalent oem ecu is alot better than most aftermarket ecu's. problem however is tunability and access from a tuner's perspective.Javi wrote:I'm a bit late to the party, but the Delco '808 with a NVRAM and USB comms board from pcmhacking.net would be pretty good for your setup.

If you're self tuned and willing to invest the time into it then its a great option. However most tuners don't have the software or inclination to tune one of these (due to limited market) and thus makes it nigh on impossible to find a reputable, competent tuner.
Another downside is lack of can communication and functionality over things like launch control / closed loop boost, full time closed loop 02 etc
