go to Gruppe-S

 

In regards to the ECU change, the 4eat to 5mt conversions that we have performed, have always been at the time of an EJ20 conversion.

We naturally installed a manual ECU. They have differen't part #'s, so to avoid any computer issues, we have always used 5mt ECU's. It is possible, but not likely that a 5eat ECU will work.

lic

hands down

 

Just to touch up on this a bit more. You are correct in saying that we replied w/ that we don't know for sure the differences between the 2 ECU's, what I can assure you is that every driveline swap such as you are requesting to have done; we've done it with changing the ECU and it works w/ no issue's. This is how we've done it in the past and will continue to do them.

I guess something to think about is why if they are the same do they have different part #'s?

just buy a car with the 6MT.

you only said youd put smileys killing me if someone said 5MT. haha.


honestly, go with LIC.

 

Well... let me know how the swap goes. I want to have my L swapped eventually.

darkonion <--- needs to save up and hopes that L does eat it until then

 

From personal experience and knowing how similar the engineering between Nissan and Subaru is, it should be ENTIRELY possible that the computer from the car with an AT in it, will work with the MT swap.

There are additional sensors on the AT and thus the different part numbers.

I swapped an engine into a car that previously used an automatic tranny. During the process I swapped a manual.

There were no adverse effects, and the car actually ran stronger than the MT due to the Nissan's tuning to make the AT produce the same horsepower numbers as the manual counter part.

but whether or not someone wants to test this out on a swap is up to them.

 

I would go with LIC.

 

I don't remember what shop I went to but if they offer you something to drink don't do it.

 

Good choice.

Though in defense for FIA, I think they said they were going to Time Attack or something along those lines. :armee_smilies075:

 

I've been trying to get in contact with them for about a month and a half now

 

does LIC have a dyno?

 

you seriously can not go wrong with LIC. Sure they might be a couple bucks more than some shops (NOTE: they charge less then the dealership does per hour).

I would be willing to bet my own money LIC will do things right the first time. No need to go back to have something re-fixed.

They are a honest group of guys that know what quality work is, and means to customers.


If you do ever have a problem that another shop can not figure out, LIC *will* find the problem and fix it too.



For this swap you should not consider anyone but the best. LIC Motorsports. :bananen_smilies104:

 

LIC by far would be my first choice for this type of thing.

I dont even have a subie anymore, and I would still not hesitate to take my car to those guys - not because I think they are Nissan experts, but because I think are are overall experts, and I know that they would get it right the first time, or give it back to me unharmed if they couldn't do it.
