So I bought a used Vortech kit...the guy that I bought it off of had electrical problems & fried his ECU & Split second, so he had to buy a new ECU & split second. He uninstalled the vortech and never got around to reinstalling it, so his used split second box was never tested. I've installed the kit now, and the box isn't letting the car run right. *in safe/limp mode* Haven't taken it to a tuner yet to see if it just needs to be reflashed, but what are the chances of this? Any suggestions? I might just spring for a UTEC...or possibly an emanage ultimate.

 

It may not be bad . It just may have the settings changed in it . Have you had it checked by a tuner that knows the split second ?

 

no, not yet...i will look into it this week

 

Got the used SS box from SKYLINE_GT and put it in tonight...car runs good. Need to get it retuned for my car. I would have gone UTEC but couldn't justify spending $800 or so right now.

My idle is a bit low now...at a stop its around 600-650rpm. How do you go about raising the idle? I know w/ a plug in tool...would tuners have this tool?

 

if the tuner has cipher yes. dealerships charge around $100 or less for this service from what ive heard.

 

Glad to hear you figured it out !
