Hey bros,
Gotta question:

If Im gonna run High flow Upipe/Downpipe, Full catless exhaust (ScoobySport,etc,etc)

Free flow Filter (K&N, etc)


Do I HAVE to MOD THE ECU?...(Piggyback,Ecutek,Vish,etc)

Seems to me you would go WAY lean on the stock ECU if you didnt alter the params.?

I know that on my Harley (fuel inj.) I had to "Reflash" when I run it modded.


Are any of you runnin WITHOUT ECU Mods with above simular setup?

Thanks
Shotgun

 

The factory ECU can handle those mods.
You could possibly "Tune" more power into those mods with some "chip type solution" but the FECU won't run lean with that set-up on stock boost.
It is a very advanced piece of equipment.
Don't worry about the ECU until you get a new turbo.

 

The engine will run ok with these mods, but you are not going to get the most out of them. If this is all you are going to do get the ECUTEK reflash, if you are going to be adding more toys get the UTEC to fully realize your mods.

 

I appreciate the input guys!

Im just gonna do this a step atta time and didnt wanna buy a new motor yet...

I live in a "EPA" unfriendly state and never know when these arsholes are gonna start "testing" again and I dont want to be switchin pipes,etc everydam year..

Anybody know what the "core" charge is on the ECUTEK from VISHNU?, Or if you can even KEEP your ECU?

Dam, I hate the EPA!!!!!!

(Seen trucks and busses latley?...<GGGG>)

Thanks Again
Shotgun

 

Scoobie,

Thanks man!!

I wanna hang on to the Stock ECU..........Just in case, ya know?

Shotgun

 

Ouch!!

Just found out if you keep your ECU Core, Vishnu charges $500 for no exchange.

Dam,.....Oh well

I'm in the same position as Shotgun, except I have a Unichip. What I want to do is sell the unichip and the manual boost controller so that I can get the new Greddy boost controller. When I put the Unichip on, I didn't see much of a gain, so I figured that it was pretty much a waste. I'm not real sure though since I didn't have my EGT guage hooked up at the time. What I did notice was a little hesitation at low rpm's. So, should I go ahead and sell the Unichip and get the ebc, or just stick with what I have? Oh yeah, I do have the Apex-i SAFC to controll the fuel a little bit. Would this make a difference?

 

Come on, I know you guys can give me a little input on this!!

 

The unichip does fuel and timing control. Perhaps there is a conflict with that and the SAFC. I would look into selling the unichip and getting a UTEC. The UTEC offers the same benefits as an EBC (closed loop boost control). I noticed a HUGE difference with just the UTEC and you don't have to send it back to your dealer every time you change anything. There are some other good ECUs (like the TEC II or III), but for the price the UTEC is awesome. Check out www.turboxs.com for more info on the UTEC.
