Dont quote me but I remember hearing that manual ecu in an auto is ok, but auto in a manual isnt.

 

Or is it the other way round? :confused:

 

Sorry bud thats no use :D

I heard the other way round.

An auto is OK in a manual, but a manual wont work in an auto. Probably to do with the fact an auto ECU will have information about the autobox control there, while a manual wont need it. But if you put an auto ECU in a manual it just ignores it.

Yeah that makes sense

ohh god here we go ------ should i start a poll ?? :rolleyes:

 

does anyone know ??

Auto ECU works in a manual chassis. (As in my ex-car.)

 

Manual ECU does not work in an auto chassis.

Correct and FACT!;)

Corrrect and FACT, FACT!

Is that a FACTUAL FACT?

Certainly is auto has extra circuitry to interface with the slushbox ECU.

John should I beleive that after reading your sig:D;)

Is it that extra circuitry that slows it all down then? :D

Does the ECU actually have different circuitry though?

I've looked at a few and can't really see any difference.

I would have thought it was just the ROM that's different.

Has anyone tried a manual ECU with Auto ROM in an Auto Z?!

So, to add to the auto v manual debate, it would appear from this that an auto ecu is significantly better than a manual ecu as it will work in any car! :hyper: :D

IN which case would mines supply an auto ecu so it can be fitted into any car rather than a manual which couldnt ???

 

how can i check this?

You can usually tell by the big sticker that Nissan put on them but Mines may have removed it.

There are 3 or 4 types with 21, 22, 23 etc on them but I'm not sure which way round they are LOL

There's also a proper Nissan part number so this may be listed on the parts CD?

 

I've been meaning to investigate this for a while now.

here is my ecu - would you mind investigating this for me...please :D

I think that the ones with 22 on them are all manual ones but I'll check with the couple I have at home tonight.

Is it from UK or Import?

I beleve thats an import ECU if thats any help

its a mines ecu - surely it has to be an import :confused:

anyone got a definitive answer yet??

I'm pretty convinced 22 is manwell and 23 is an auto (and that matches my history of ECU ownership...)
