programed ECU trade with stock ECU

Let me know if you dont want to sway any of those things. I'm looking to buy a thing or two that you have.

So if you have no mods, theres room to make power with the tune. If you have mods, you have less and less power to make.

ok that makes sense so the tune HP number will be higher if there is little to no bolt on's becouse there is more room to make the HP, but if you have full bolt on's then there is just little power left to be made "as is stands now"

so what do ya'll think take bolt on's ?? Leave ECU ??

It actually make s a lot more sense than I originally thought.... you see all those parts on that silver car are practically free because the price he paid for the entire car with the mods. So his plan is to take the mods and then sell the silver car for close to 32k. He is more or less an effin genius. Wow.

Hat tip to you sir. Now sell me a few of those things and that will pay for the cost of swapping the rest of the parts over. Like the brakes...you don't race the car so sell me all those pointless racing mods...

bump for info

I don't recommend switching the ECUs. The different transmissions alone might make a swap problematic.

KaienZ34 · 11-17-2009, 01:26 PM

do you think the car with the mods intake, exhaust, ecu, will be ok if i take the intake and exhaust but leave the ecu in there and put stock intake and exhaust on it ??

semtex · 11-17-2009, 01:38 PM

Hmmm...good question. It might run a little rich, because it would be tuned to expect more air than it's getting. I doubt it would actually hurt anything though.

KaienZ34 · 11-17-2009, 01:55 PM

that's about what i was thinking, that it may take a little for the ecu to adjust it's self. but no problems should happen...if you or anyone knows are finds out some more info i thank you now for the help

^ well no, once your have changed the values as much as you would with AFR tuning, the "learning" that the ECU does will not make up for it. Its not going to learn itself out of a rich mix. I say switch them and try it out, if everything works youre good. If not, just switch em back. Its not hard to do. I dont know for sure, but I assume its under the passenger foot well like on other cars...
