iamlegend Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 oi oishould be getting this badboy fitted for the weekend so want as much info as i can on what peeps done to install the ECU and any advice cant wait to get this fitted like my mates very curious on how it works like.... Quote
Amjad Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I plugged it in and let it idle for a while as the idle was all over the place, then took it for a gentle drive (didn't want to rag it straight away in case it ran lean). Ten next day took it for a drive, warmed it up fully and fed the boost in gradually until it was flat out Quote
madmax_926 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 plugged in in and ragged the tits of it for 200 miles or so done the trick just fine no probs Quote
ro55ifumi Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 First put it in did not let it settle went an ragged from the off an was over fuelling like a bitch!!!Took it off again for 30 mins, re fitted an let it tick over for 60 mins then drove off sweet as a nut Run smooth ever since John Quote
iamlegend Posted March 17, 2011 Author Posted March 17, 2011 did you notice a huge minted sexual difference when fitted? Quote
Amjad Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 For sure I noticed the need for an FMIC Once that was fitted it transformed it into an animal Quote
ro55ifumi Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 did you notice a huge minted sexual difference when fitted?Oh yes revs its tits off bit more grunt, running turbo @ 1 bar John Quote
iamlegend Posted March 17, 2011 Author Posted March 17, 2011 oohhhh i cant wait hehehehe tdo4 1 bar Quote
madmax_926 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 i think these ecu are wicked but im using the arc tmic my boost is set to 0.9 when it creeps to a bar at 5k i get a reall big kick of power sorta like v tec engine lol Quote
Lukew360 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 lol at you lot just plugging it in and ragging it Quote
Amjad Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Hey I didn't I know these ECUs are awesome but they are obviously gonna run lean if you give it the beans from the off! It needs some time to measure parameters etc Quote
Bean Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 is no one going to tell the guy there not self mapping ecus as far as im aware there is no such thing. they may adjust slightly (as will a stock ecu) but there not self mapping. Quote
Amjad Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 ^I think he knows, it's a general term which everyone uses rather than saying the drawn out explanation of them only adjusting fueling and timing etc lolLet's not turn this into a does it map itself thread Quote
whiteglanzav Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 the thing that the ecus do is make sure that the fueling is within certain parameters at certain revs they dont "self map" just more like auto correct to make sure that the afrs are within the guidelines that it already knows ,,, Quote
Steve GT Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 First put it in did not let it settle went an ragged from the off an was over fuelling like a bitch!!!Took it off again for 30 mins, re fitted an let it tick over for 60 mins then drove off sweet as a nut Run smooth ever since John^^^ thats the way. give it time to settle and adjust. let it idle then take it for a nice drive. make sure you dont rag the hell out of it. go from 2nd to 3rd, to fourth, down to third, to 2nd keep repeating for a few miles let it "learn" every gear so to speak etc and it will be all gooddid you notice a huge minted sexual difference when fitted?Understatement its awesome Quote

Bean Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 aww bless.... you ep91 boys with your plug and play ecu's Quote

TBDevelopments Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 there is no such thing as a self mapping ecu ;) Quote
philpott Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 ive got a blitz one on mine and it fucking stinks of fuel do you think it would be worth unplugging it and putting it back in letting it idle for a while ? Quote
philpott Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 ^Yes!lol haha how long do i leave it out for? and roughly how many miles till its properly bedded in? Quote
Amjad Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 I ran mine for 15mins ten it went lumpy, tapped throttle and left it for another 15mins and it was all good. Then took it for a gentle drive (didn't want to rag it straight away in case it ran lean). Next day took it for a drive, warmed it up fully and fed the boost in gradually until it was flat out. It should adjust itself fully by about 100 miles ;) Quote
