Thread: Need more towing power badly

Also the ECU says AEB 295 on it and it is a sprint gas system.

Not sure if this gives any insight into what it is. I will take it apart and have a good look when I get it back to Brisbane.

That will probably be one of the 38-40mm types. Unless your AEB computer has a manual adjustment on the mixture controller it may need to be upgraded too.

So what sort of cost would I be looking at to upgrade the system ?

Parts about $250, labour??? Depends on how much wiring needs to be changed for the different computer. I am not familiar with your computer, don't like what I've seen of AEB stuff. If you can follow instructions you could do it yourself from the written info with the comp.

I'm married ....... of course I can follow instructions

Great! I will be able to confirm some prices on Monday, pm me if you want me to follow this up.

Thanks I do want to follow this up, but it won't be for a few weeks.

When I get the car home I will get more details of what is there, take out and confirm the measurement of the ring etc.

The ECU says "self Learning ECU" which scares me a little

Anyway, I'm now excited about getting a little bit more grunt.

Hey guys, I'm getting my 99 p38 motor rebuilt, is there an advise on getting better consumption or better torque, like maybe different camshaft? Any advise would be helpful... Thanks Sam

Try by starting a new thread for starters!
Get a high compression motor, 4.6L min.
Some head work and a cam to suit what you are doing.
Perhaps different computer like Haltech or similar and it will be very ballsy.
Good luck.
