Anything in particular i need to do apart from unscrew the foot plate, unplug the old, plug in the new, replace foot plate?
It's gotta be more hassle than that ;) Mikey :cool: |
that's all you do
:D |
The ECU is it on drivers or passengers side ?
Sorry if this is a dull question ;) |
Passenger.
|
Ah, doesn't it have to be mapped or something to avoid mechanical confusion? or is this a really naive and stoopid comment?
|
you may have to code your keys in if they are the transponder type.
|
recoding the keys only applies to the bugeye version. Classic shape is just unbolt, unplug, plugin new one, rebolt and away you go.:D
|
Am I looking at breathtaking performance gains here what?
Does the ECU require time to "Settle" Mikey :cool: |
P20SPD - how and when would you recode the keys? First time I've heard of this. How is it linked to the ECU?
Gridlock Mikey - performance gains will depend on how the mapping has changed. Any change of getting it done at a rolling road? At least then you'll have some quantative figures on the change - run before, change, run after. |
Gridlock
I assume you are talking about the AE801 ECU your are getting from me. It is easy to install, just remove cover/kickplate thingy, unplug old ecu, plug in new ecu and away you go. In terms of gains over the standard AE802 thats in MY00 cars I found it held slightly more boost and generally pulled much stronger. I haven't recieved your cheque yet. Regards Steve |

actually i've just the changed the ecu in a 98my turbo and had to code the keys. i believe it was a classic shape scoob as well so maybe we are talking about an import , i dont know if they have transponders or not. but i thought all uk scoobs from about 97my onwards had codeable keys.

On my MY97 dash there is a little key symbol that flashes when the car is locked. This is in addition to my alarm LED. I was told this is the key transponder light?
But.. if people have swapped out their ECU's without the key being rest then who am I to disagree :) Anyone have a PPP ecu to fit a MY97? ;) |
Steve,
Sorry mate I got one from elsewhere, apologies if i didn't finish our e-mail dialogue, but I was at work at the time. Thanks anyway Mikey :cool: |
Mike, if you want help fitting it, pop over.
I had to get to mine to solder in my AFR meter so know how to get at them :) Although I imagine even you could do it :D |
