ECU Question

[Marty.H]

The ECU is a metal silver case

 

[RsvRob]

evo 4 ecu then ...

 

[Marty.H]

Right so will have to go shopping for a 5 ECU and i take it that will be a black plastic case on that

 

[RsvRob]

Yes mate black plastic case preferable with a 7202 chip. But the tme ecu with 7203 chip will still be ok just more work for the mapper

Thats spooky was just looking at a tme ecu. Sorry for all the questions but its the only way you learn but how will i know what chip is fitted ?

 

[RsvRob]

Can remove the board from the case and it will say on the chip itself ....

Ask as many questions as you like we're here to help, only way I learnt aswell lol

Was now looking on ebay at a tme ECU and that is prices at £395 or there is an Apexi power FC for £200 now when i had the apexi power FC on my Pulsar GTi-R i was not overly happy with it to be honest do they work any better on the evo

 

[RsvRob]

stick with a std 5/6 ecu they are more than capable and plug and play

 

[Marty.H]

Sounds ideal to me at least the cold start and that will be better then i use to have on the apexi on my pulsar is £395 for a tme ecu about right

was just wondering do you need the evo V injectors or are they the same as the IV?

i would say yes, evo 5-9 injectors are 560cc and a straight swap

 

[Marty.H]

Yes i think i do need them as well and when i unpluged ECU earlier it now stops when i stop so will have to do idle learn again tomorrow :sad: i had to do that when i got it as battery was flat and it would not idle then its simple enough to do thankfully

yea i had that issue after i had my VII mapped, doesnt take long for it to get back to normal though

 

[Marty.H]

I have never come across any other car that has to learn the idle like an evo and have been a mechanic for many years a strange one that

£395 for a tme ecu is bit expensive shop around you will find one cheaper

a standard 5/6 ecu normally sell about £100-150

 

[HermaN]

Get an Evo 5/6 ECU and some 560cc injectors (Evo 4 are 510cc), then just a direct swap of your old ECU & injectors with the new. As said, remember to wire up pin 79 so the ECU can be flashed.

Oh, and you MIGHT experience battery draining/charging problems with the Evo 5/6 ECU, if you do then cut the wire to pin 33, that fixes the issue.
