Addymk2 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Yeah it's behind the glove box. Should be fine on your setup. Disconnect battery, unplug old ECU, plug in new ECU, leave to idle for about half an hour then kick her tits in. Pretty sure theres a guide on here for it bud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimmymac101 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Once you find your ecu, stick in the new one Unplug your battery for 20mins to reset the ecu Reconnect battery Let the car idle for 15minsTake it for a slow drive through the gears Once you done the slow drive give it some beans through the gears Then let it cool down and your done That's what we do with starletsr? Glanza as he has a JAM ecu James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 ^James has got it there. When you're driving, slowly add a little boost Go through the gears with 0.1bar, 0.2bar, etc until you reach full boost. But I wouldn't boost until you've been driving around off boost for 10-15mins Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Addymk2 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 My Zep and Blitz ECUs both recorded decent AFRs using both methods I personally find it more fun giving her a kicking lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Better safe than sorry, I've know of some people who went flat out quickly and the car misfired etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawless Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Better safe than sorry, I've know of some people who went flat out quickly and the car misfired etcMy thoughts exactly had a bad run with this car finally got it to a stage I can begin to modify and will not be hammering it till I'm sure it's ready ha ha Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmymac101 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Do as I said above mate and your be fine and once you finished and cooled down, the next time you drive her you notice a major difference James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Foggy Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I fitted a good few of them. No need to disconnect the battery or anything like that. Just have the ignition off.Remove old plug in new. Simple as that. Drive away. No need to drive slowly. Ecu might take up to a week or more to come right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
