Hey longass (I just wanted to say that )
I have been getting more and more interested in this chip in the recent days that I have been back in the MOD section... If you come across any dyno charts or anything that can "visually express" all the wonderful things that you posted about earlier in the thread then I'll have to sell my mountain bike so I can get this... ~ Chris

Were you looking for me to say wonderful things? Here goes.... "wondeful things" Seriously though, no I don't have any dyno plots or visually impressive media for you but I can tell you than 90% of the time sales are followed by an email from the customer saying how impressed with it they are and how much faster their car is and better it drives.

Oh, and do you think that it really solves the stalling problem??? That is one of the things I am most interested in

I can't say if it solves the stalling problem or not, since my car is auto.
But the installation was easy (assuming you know your way around a socket wrench and a screwdriver, that is), consisting of only taking out the ECU, opening the ECU, removing the resistor to activate the socket, and pushing the ECUtune into the socket. That was it. Easy easy easy. And the results are great. I never had a benchmark on the old ECU so I can't give you pretty-pretty dyno plots either. But my butt dyno says it's got more torque, and installing the 1v5 solved the problem I was having where the engine would seem to run out of power right at 3k RPMs, then slowly continue up. Now when you touch the pedal it's just steady, smooth power all the way through. And most of the time you don't even need to go above 3500 RPMs to get better acceleration than the other cars at the stoplight. For those of you who sometimes need to get ahead so you can switch lanes and get onto the freeway. Big improvement over stock. Just buy it and be impressed. |

Haha, good review... Thanks... I'll see how the "christmas funds" are doing and see if I can get it...

Well, I just had to drop $500 on new tires after discovering my fronts were worn to the cords on the inside... I guess the Stage 1 Version 5 upgrade is going to have to wait for me

I just filed my taxes and should be getting a good amount back this year. I was wondering LAN, how long would it take to get to my door (Raleigh, NC)??

Chris,
The only "painful" part of this is getting the ECU out from under the dash in the first place. Getting to the nuts that hold it in place is a pain and don't be surprised when you convince yourself that it will stay in place just fine with only two nuts tightened (can't believe I just typed that). Get a electrostatic wristband at RadioShack to make sure you don't zap anything when you're putting the new board and chips in. -Bill

My only issue was that I had to press a lot harder than I thought to get it into the socket. I had to remove the circuit board from the case to avoid breaking it. The ecu circuit board was flexing a lot just trying to push it on. Yes all the pis were straight...

I need to revise the directions with pictures of the new memory adaptors and add a note about that. Some of the new memory adaptors have the same header as the old ones (round gold pins). Some of the new memory adaptors have a new header (square silver pins). The ones with the new headers fit very tightly in the ECU's socket. It's probably a good idea to do just what dragoontwo did--go ahead and unscrew the circuit board in the ECU so that you can squeeze both sides between your fingers when installing the memory adaptor.

I ship priority mail so two days assuming you catch me on a good day when I have some on the shelf ready to go. If it's something urgent you should call and check first. I have a lot piled up to do these days and about 90% of my motivation goes into physical therapy for my knee (hince a lot piled up undone still) so sometimes it's takes a few days to get an order out.

Are we better off buying on ebay, or ordering directly from you? Thanks

Thanks for asking,
Directly from www.ecutune.com --> less money to Ebay and more money to SVX performance part development. |
