Posted: Fri Oct 30, 2009 1:36 pm Post subject: 5th gen ECU upgrades? - Using the P28 |
|
|
I am quite envious of STK Preludes AEM stand alone ECU  but I dont want to spend the $1000+ price tag & the hassle of importing one.
Is there another way round it? I have little knowledge of ECU's but have read a little on other forums.
Would it be possible to get an OBDII to OBDI convertor harness and use a P28 or P72 ecu?
P13 ECU's are not suitable, correct?
Any input would be great. _________________

just remember with the p28 there is the IAB issue |
It takes 2 minutes to sort out the IAB issue.  |

Gat - Can you tell us about your setup? Hardware / cost / any issues and how to get round them ? Im very interested
Edit - Does your EGR and 4WS still function with the P28? _________________

I bought mine from here including the harness.
(please bear in mind that when I bought mine the exchange rate was nearly 2-1)

As for the IAB's, it's simply switching the vacuum pipes

4WS has a seperate ECU
EGR doesn't work with new ECU (P28)
Disclaimer, don't blame me if you fúck it up! lol |

Gat - have you ever had your car dyno'd? You've had a fair bit done to yours now haven't you?
Sorry bit of a thread highjack, but an ECU is definately something im looking into aswell but can't justify the prices before  _________________

That one^^? So it was plug and play? No tuning it?
Im not going to screw around with it myself, i'll buy all the parts and take it to a tuner. _________________

so by doing this it operates the IAB's to open at what rpm? or keep them open all the time? closed all the time? _________________

From what I have read on PreludePower
