icon5.gif  Piggyback ECU's Sun, 20 October 2002 12:49 Go to next message
I've been having a discussion with a few people on the topics of ECU's, and came to the concensus that the factory ECU is a fairly good piece of gear.
We were discussing the virtues of scrapping the factory setup or merely utilising a piggy-back to just correct the factory settings to something that is better suited to the application.

Does anyone know of any good piggy-back ECU's? Also, does anyone have anything to add to this, possibly from personal experience? Thanks.

Yeah, the UNICHIP is sounding like a good idea, any other people with suggestions?

I need a bit of clearing up about this kind of thing. Some early fuel injected cars can't be chipped, like the 3S-GE and 4A-GE. At least that's what I've read - I think Powerchip won't change them either (I think they do a piggy-back ECU kind of thing). But can you actually replace the entire ECU on those engines, say, with an Autronic or a Motec?

In time I shall get SMT-5 unit. Besides being fine for injected engines, it can be bolted onto carburetted engine too. It's possible to get 3-dimensional ignition control with this unit. Smile
