Newbie from Canada....with question
 

Howdy folks,

I didn't realize there was such an active SVX board, this is pretty cool. Just purchased my second SVX which is RHD few months ago,and loved it so much. Anyone know if I can install the ECUtunes which is designed for USA models?

Thanks for the help.

Re: Newbie from Canada....with question
 

Presumably your car is JDM? The first problem is that the JDM ECU doesn't have a socket on the board. You have to solder it in yourself or swap it for a USDM ECU.

The ECUtune chip being based on the USDM ECU will expect to find an EGR system that your engine doesn't have. Therefore you will probably get an EGR error code.

Congratulationson your latest purchase. Good to see another JDM SVX in Alberta. Which model did you get?

Crazy canadians :D Pictures? Is that the type witht he passive 4WS?

Re: Newbie from Canada....with question
 

I thought all the models (USDM and JDM alike) without the active 4WS had passive 4WS. Is that incorrect?

Yes, don't mind Jay

Re: Newbie from Canada....with question
 

Yes, it's JDM. Other than swap the JDM ECU for a USDM ECU, is there any ECUtune chip that is based on JDM ECU?

My is CXW model, as far as I know, there is 3 JDM SVX in Alberta. BTW, did you purchased your JDM SVX from Matt@JRT Imports?

Re: Newbie from Canada....with question

Ya...seen yours in person when Matt still has it, that car is in amazing condition, very well kept. I wish my comes with all those goodies in your CXD.

Re: Newbie from Canada....with question
 

"Flatt Racing", a Japanese tuner, did a chip for the JDM ECU. I don't know if it is still available.

Re: Newbie from Canada....with question
 

After I release the aggressive software that doesn't really bother with ignition advance learning for the US market I may move it over to versions for the other markets as well.

Re: Newbie from Canada....with question
 

Hummm. What happened to your wheels?

Re: Newbie from Canada....with question
