Just got to lookn around again, and was wondering. What will one of these E-manages do to a stock motor? Would it affect performance or even everyday driving? (Just Curious)

on a stock motor, an e-manage would be , at best, useless... if not installed and programmed correctly it would hurt a stock motor and performance. an e-manage would mainly be used to compensate for significant motor modifications where the stock ECU would not be able to be tuned to compensate for additional needs in timing/fuel etc.
Ok..i jus got back to this..kinda forgot cuz i was jus wondering bout it. I didnt think it would rele do anything.ThanksQuote:

I thot the 01 ECU was jus better for 5 speed swaps..I hadnt found anywhere that said that. (i dont think)..So im not gonn need like the Greddy or anything??
No ECU is "better" for the 5spd swap really. The tuning is all done with what I mentioned above, but the best way to tune for the money is EcuFlash. For the 4cyl platform running N/A the 01-03 ECU will work to tune with, for a boosted setup swapping in the Evo ECU is what you will need.Quote:

No, ones you have modified your engine or w/e you flash your ECU, and tune it.Quote:

Omega: So, dont even have to swap it? jus take it to dealer?? cuz theres realy no type of turbo shop where im at.
It seems you still need to do more research and reading. You could take the car to a dealer, but most likely they will not have any idea of what is going on or what needs to be done. If you have no understanding of the tuning process, it leads many of us to believe you may not fully understand what is involved with this type of build either. If you have no speed shops around you, then I suggest one of two things;Quote:

If you can't manage either one of these then I am afraid to say you are diving in over your head into something that will not end well. I have added 4 links below off the top of my head that I know has plenty of good reference material and reading. If you can't do an ECU Swap, or basic wiring yourself then I would suggest taking time to learn, or move past this type of build...

you could flash your stock ecu to eek out better performance. but you'll need a wideband and/or a dyno.
slightly off topic: I looked at my stock 03 rom and it goes up to 260 load. Lol.
SPD FRK: I know the wiring process, i been working with wire for 5 years but id hate to kno my car wont run bcuz i messed it up somewhere...i havent researched long enough i kno but thats why im not starting another build until into the summer. I had plenty money ready but the i had alot of things go wrong with my car.
QNZ: can a dealer flash it? Im guessin if they can it would be extremly expensive?
