programed ECU trade with stock ECU
 

allright i have a stock 370Z and i am also in the process of buying another Z34 from right here on these forums, wanted to know can i switch the tuned ECU for the stock one?? I will most likely switch the bolt on's (HFI,headers,HFC,CBE) out with one another stock for upgraded. I just don't know if i can switch the ECU's they might be car or tune specific????


any thoughts????? thx

Rip the rom and transfer it. You will need to return the other ecu back to stock. If it is an Osiris car you will need a cable and a back to stock flash. Also the ecu code needs to match. There are also other ways to go about it. Like getting the NATS disarmed on both and so on.

i for got to say, it is uprev flash and tuned at forged performance AL, if i can't trade ECU's can i trade bolt on's and leave the ECU's were they are?? I know the stock car(ecu) won't see full performance without the tuned ecu, but will the other car(ecu) be ok as is ? will it learn and just deal with the stock intake, exhaust, etc.??

Pull the license off the other car and transfer it to the other. When you put it back to stock it will be normal again.

John, it just so happens that uprev decided not to develop the file that lets us unmarry the license. Add that one to the list of things we cant do. You should be able to just transfer ECUs. Like literally from car to car.

As it stands right now, you will make a LOT more power out of a tune if you start with stock everything else, than if you start with full bolt-ons.... simply because bolt-ons will lean out the car already. Fuel tuning is the only way to add power right now...

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.

I was hoping to be able to just take parts from one Z and put in the other. Stock one is PW with 7AT and the hooked up one is PG with 6MT

Here is a list of mods already done to the PG Z

Window Tint All Around........

Tail Lights Tinted (Painted).........

Stillen Engine Oil Cooler......

Stillen Dual Cold Air Intakes (Gen 3)..

Stillen Cat Back Exhaust........

Stillen Crankshaft Pulley.....

Stillen Headers Stainless Steel 309........

Berk High Flow Cats.........

Hotchkis Sway Bars..

Eibach Pro Spring Kit & Alignment...

B&W Short Shifter............

JWT Clutch (10/23/09 install)................

JWT Lightweight Flywheel (10/23/09 install)...

Stop Tech BBK (10/23/09 install)..................
(Front 6 Piston 15" Slotted - Rear 4 Piston 14" Slotted)

Volk GT30 20" Wheels (bought on 9/5/09)...........
(Front 20x9.5 +35 - Rear 20x10.5 +10)

UpRev ECU Reflash.........................
(see dyno chart before and after reflash)


Most installs was performed @ FORGED PERFORMANCE in Marietta, GA. They are supporting vendors on this forum. Have confidence in knowing a professional crew has worked on this car!

yeah i don't want to hurt either Z but would like to do this if it would not hurt the girlZ

You bought that car? Don't tell me you are taking all those mods off and putting them in your white automatic Z? If you are... I might pick up that clutch and flywheel from you.

Well this is an interesting project to stumble upon. :wtf2:

Short Shifter plz.

^ Damn good call.

nice setup! how much did all the cost! :stirthepot:

He's not the one who did those mods, so he might not know. He's buying a 6MT Z with those mods already done, and plans to transfer all the parts over to his 7AT Z. At least, the parts that aren't MT-specific.

I really like the way that car looks in profile. I can't imagine lowering my car, i already scrape the sh*t out of it backing out of the drive way as it is. Damn Texas roads.

nice setup! how much did all that cost!



here ya go

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.

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 ??

you know i gotta ask. Why?

why what the parts swap??

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.

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 ??

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.

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...
