I got an email from Technosquare today concerning my ECU i sent to them in Japan..

They are downloading the data right now. It seems like the US spec ECU has the same hardware as JDM spec one. They seem to have a way to work around the key inmobilizer too (means that you can swap ECU around, mainly theft protection if you put in a different key it will check the ecu serial # to start the car).

So far it looks good...

Techtom flash reprogramming device lets you overwrite the ECU with your performance data from their PC. so pretty much means that most of the programming can be done either thru in-car reprogramming from diagnostic port and direct reprogramming from ECU connector on the bench thats hooked up to a computer



The ECU (along with a report) will return to the 'States next week.

i'll keep everyone posted.

Awesome! cant' wait to see results

 

Keep up the good work

 

Hopefully the car will have some noticable gains and runs more efficient.

Can't wait!!

 

WORD UP! bout damn time!!
<-------Mr.Fairlady wants a ECU upgrade badly!!!


Did they charge you for that?

 

Patience dude. i got work to deal with ya know. :P

 

Chebosto, Great News. Keep us posted!

 

the ECU comes back to the US this week,

man. i just hope they have some good news.

im stoked. i mean. how bad *** would that be? finally a US spec ecu..

 

YES!!!!!

I can't wait to hear about the specifications. That's good news indeed. Keep us Updated!

 

All you need with your new ECU is a little computer that links up the ECUs from two different cars. It only needs two functions... Copy, and Paste.

 

i only wish it was that easy.

alot more than that has to happen.

if you've ever seen actual ecu programming done, its pretty crazy. everything is in Hex code... and you'll have to manulaly search for the certain number sequences to change...

but it might be slightly different with the newer systems out now...

 

ches...in another thread didnt i read that its supposed to be comming in today? well i hope it is and can't wait to see ur gains

 

in the words of snoop, "tizzight"

 

Hey guys-
i briefly spoke the guys at Technosquare, they want the ecu for another week, to try to get more info about it, so i said ok, as long as they think they can have something productive... i guess its just patience.

i know everyone wants a chip now but hey, if no one takes their time to do it right the first time, there's no point in getting anything out anyway...

i will keep this thread updated when i get more info.

thanks

So they are doing a dump right now, but are they going to modify anything on your ecu? did you tell them to raise redline, and change the a/r ratio? Thanks!

 

This is what i told them to look for:

-Rev limiter,
-Immobilizer Bit
-A/F codes
-Timing.
-O2 sensor "release" <~~they prolly wont do this cuz its 'illegal' to mod these things, but would help if your stock cats happen to fall off some how.
-If we do have a speed limiter, to find that too.

 

Looks Good. Yes, the Z is suppose to have a speed limiter set at 156 MPH.

 

so i wonder how fast the Z is ungovernered?

 

man the suspense is killing me and now another whole week!!!!......ahhhhhhhh!!!

 

Mind you, the longer they have my ecu.. means i cant drive it.
i could push it.... but....
