ECU tune Transmission control unit? - Page 9

There would be no effect on the operation of the transmission, The only time you get into trouble is if you restrict it. I ran/drove mine during testing with a loop of hose on the pipes.

Okay so, I was curious again today before I changed my fluid so I was experimenting. The AT OIL TEMP light will not come on for bulb check when the fluid temp is above about 200. Once it's back down in the 190s, it will. Is there some kind of logic in the unit that would explain this?

I think there would be much better uses of my time pouring through the tcu code than figuring out how that works. If that's what it does that's what it does, right?

Yeah, that's what it does. I guess I overestimated your familiarity with the code.

TCU sale is now over. TCU's are now $249.

Just ordered mine, I missed the sale but still worth it. I'll post my thoughts after I get it installed.

Just got everything straightened out with the install and had a long test drive. I love it, big improvement! I noticed the difference immediately. I definitely recommend it for any SVX with stock gears. Thanks LAN!

thanks, glad you like it it

I know, you should get a commission for the sales job you did on it.

It was driving your "Christine" SVX with the ECUTune TCU that convinced me.

The sale was designed to clear out my stock of TCUs. I'll be editing the website now to require the exchange of a stock TCU. I'll still send the modified TCU upfront so they can be swapped easily but charge a core charge to encourage the return of the stocker.

I just got some feedback from a customer using my UK TCU chip in his Austalian SVX TCU; he says it works great and the ECUtune shift maps are a night and day improvement over the stock Austrailian shift maps.

Will there be any future versions of this, or has development stopped?

***sigh**** I can not believe this. I am JUST reading this thread for the first friggin time and missed all the cool sales and all.

So I go to this website and purchase the unit? http://www.moates.net/ I'm tired of BSing around with performance for this car.

BTW: I am kinda surprised people are going with the higher shifts. I though power dropped off above 5800rpm (stock cams, no intake and/or exhaust modifications). If people are liking it though.....guess that's cool too.

Question guys! Can you research to see if you can do this TCU modification to an 1989 XT6 TCU and/or 1996 2.2ltr Subaru Impreza TCU? I can send you my TCU's for testing purposes. Could be a whole new market for you if you are interested. I do not need to drive the Impreza/XT6/SVX as they are not necessarily daily drivers (fun drivers..yes). Thanks!

If you really want this then why don't you do some research yourself?

At least do the basic stuff. Look at the circuit boards to see if they are similar to the SVX board. See if they have the same processor chip as the SVX board. See if they have the same type of ROM chip and a space for a socket. Then build an interface and try to download the rom file to your PC. There is plenty of documentation to help you on my website and in the gearshift maps thread. That should be enough keep you occupied for a while.
