alright people,

 

theres a on/off switch in my glove box and having traced the wires they appear to go to the ecu?

 

Any ideas why a switch would be wired to the ecu?:confused:

could be someones fitted their own immobiliser switch. find out exactly where is goes, or flick the switch & see if it starts.

is it a stock ECU? if not, could be a launch control, T/C switch.

has it been spliced in?

which ECU does it go to? (main one, gearbox one or steering)

which wire from the ECU does it go to?

 

 

:)

Maybe you have 2 chips and that's the switch.

the wires go into the left hand side of the ecu. I was thinking it mught have something to do with the boost controller that was fitted but the switch doesnt appear to do anything.

 

Also i have an suspicion that its been chipped, whats the easiest way to remove the ecu ?

sorry, you guys are quick today!

 

the wires go directly into the main ecu (big gold coloured 1 right?) tell you what ill take a picture and wop it up.

 

Im trying to determine the extent of the modifications on my motor, i never actually bothered to look until now and the person i got it from wouldnt have had a clue anyway!

Might have a dual chip like me.. i have a swich that switches beween maps...

switch

 

 

wires on the left, and the ecu has a sticker saying "racing technology INTEC", would this suggest an upgrade has been done?

 

the sticker on it seems to be a bit of a give away looks like u possibly have a chipped ecu

Dunno... mine has a 2 way but not on off. more of a change over switch...

 

Dunno about yours, could poss be an immobalizer circuit of some sort...

the sticker on it seems to be a bit of a give away looks like u possibly have a chipped ecu

 

So i open it up and see if its socketed yeah? I suppose i should check the intercoolers aswell to see if they r standard. I would like to turn up the boost a bit, if only i could figure out the god damn ancient boost controller:headvswal

If they go into the left side of the ECU and not to the ECU connector loom then that will be switch for a dual map setup.

So i open it up and see if its socketed yeah? I suppose i should check the intercoolers aswell to see if they r standard.

 

Yes should be socketed... but not always upgraded..... i have standard Intercoolers on mine....but i have a dual map JWT and Central 20....

 

It is on my list to do but it's not a give away at all.....

Dual map eh? Whats the idea behind that then? The wires go to the chip which sits in a socket but not directly onto the board, it appears to be on top of something.

 

look see

 

 

So this looks/sounds like a dual map set up? the switch will be to use the alternate map for running more boost then?

Succes! Got the boost controller going, dodgy power wire connection. So all thats left to do is take her out and see what the b/c has been set to.

 

Assuming standard tubs/injectors and intercoolers i spose 1 bar would be about my high end limit right???

 

Ill be quite interested to see the difference, she's not slow at the moment but not exactly brown trousers material when you put your foot down.:hyper:

Just taken it out for a test drive and now im only getting 0.4 bar:( Thats with every combination of buton and even with the b/c off. 0.4bar is what about 6psi which sounds like safety boost yes?

 

I just did the ecu diagnostic and i returned a code 55, but i dont get it right, if the engine isnt running its not going to get any det is it? So am i supposed to run the engine then turn engine off and then do the ecu diagnostic?

I have done some searching but the answer to this simple question escapes me.

That'll teach me not to read the 1st page of the thread! lol
