Re: ECU tune Transmission control unit?

I got the chance to drive an svx with the mod and I have to say I really really like it. A whole new feel to me. Guess the real test would be in my own svx..

Re: ECU tune Transmission control unit?

I just found gas receipts from our Reading trip.
cozykat drove the Red 93 @75-80mph, and She got 27.235921 mpg!
Thats with three people in it and filled with luggage.
Matt and YourConfused rode with her.
Marisa said that the Red 93 felt "lighter and quicker" than any other automatic SVX that She had driven.



The only three performance mods on the car are;
1) The ECUTune transmission TCU.
2) The ECUTune 1AV1 ECU.
3) A precat/stock cat replacement with Aero resonators, 2" mandral bent pipe and a Magnaflow 94007 cat and no resonator.(I was out of them)
More later.

Re: ECU tune Transmission control unit?

Unfortunately I do not have the fwd base code but I can work with you to get it off your tcu and on my workstation. If you could, pull your tcu, open it, and take pictures of what's in there--paying particular attention to making the label on the ROM readable. Email those to me and we'll go from there.

If you don't care about printed labels you can just order a 1v5 on the website and put a note in the paypal transaction that you don't really want a 1v5 you want a stage1Av1 and I'll make one up for you.

Re: ECU tune Transmission control unit?

I don't remember when but I actually kind of sneeked the redline up to 7800 and forgot to tell anyone (edit: probably about when i started to plan on running 7800 rpms).

Re: ECU tune Transmission control unit?

I must confess that his fuel economy improvement in this trip is more a result of the stage1A that he has than the tcu. The tcu software he has from me greatly eases his fuel bill around town. The big improvement in highway mileage is coming from the the new ECU software. We've pretty securely established now that we've both improved performance over previous versions and spanked the fuel economy of the oe software. Soon we'll be porting these developments over to the stage 2 software and I suspect we will find all problems of knock sensors pulling too much timing out on forced induction cars solved too.

Re: ECU tune Transmission control unit?

I can hold off on the tranny chip,but after removing my ecu and opening it up for the first time I have the resistor at J2 and the 28pin empty ROM socket,I was wondering would you stage one work since it looks like my svx will only except one chip.I have a 94 with front wheel drive.After looking over your stage one instructions there are 2 chips installed.I'm a little lost.

Re: ECU tune Transmission control unit?

Yes a stage 1 will work with your ECU. All SVX ECUs have only one socket. My old style memory adaptors had two ROM chips which were interleaved and emulated the obsolete chip the ECU was designed to accept. The memory adaptor is what plugs into your ECU not the ROM chip. ROM chips plug into the memory adaptor; the memory adaptor plugs into the ECU. My new style memory adaptors do the same thing with only one ROM chip. They are just different ways of doing the same thing.

Re: ECU tune Transmission control unit?

Since nobody seems to want the last one I guess I'll have to take it !! The free box was the deal sealer.
