Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - After installing intakes, should I reset the ECU?

I reset the ECU after every mod just so it can reboot with the new mods in place, give it some time to "learn" the changes I suppose. I use the same method that I've used for every car i've had to reset it, unplug the negative terminal, hold the brakes in for a minute to get all the residual juice outta the system and let it sit for a half hour or so. If you unplug it before the install, it should be ready to plug back up when you're done.
