so I guess I need pointers on picking out real ones... the compressor housing and compressor wheel look legit but is there a easy to find flag for spotting the fakes? if I'm gonna do this then I want new or mostly new parts that are not shit with sprinkles....and it looks like I have to put this off even longer, so when I get back I want to have a pile of boxes waiting to go in because I just got a large pay raise that's soon to be tax free... fucking afghanistan... arrr.

so i got the ecu in and the car is running but i am running into a problem the car is staying extremely lean and max ignition timing i get at idle is 5 to 7 degrees for some reason the car is staying in base timing anybody had this problem after the ecu swap?

I will be redoing this tutorial in the next week or two. The new version will be similar, but much easier to follow.

[allrice4g64]

so if the tutorial is for a 97/98 why do you have to swap the injector wires when they are in the same spot as a 2g ecu?

EPROM was mainly only 95 cars. Maybe a few stray early 96s have them if you get lucky. The way to tell is on the label on the cover it will have an E in the bottom right. 98/99 ecus are plastic and flashable.

Ok what are the differences between ECUs eprom and the 97-98 tuning wise

[Galanttuner10]

EPROM can run DSM link the best tuning option by far

[master_visionary]

If I do the plastic upgrade now the eprom will plug and play later right?

[Galanttuner10]

Kind of. The ignition is different because of the cam angle sensors being in different locations. Link has a program to use the 1g sensor in a 95 style car.

hey was up guys i wanted to ask something i got my engine hardness back from turbo bob in south windsor ct and i am show u what he did and that will tell the story and yes he toke 4-6 months. Don't look plug play do it?

[mko]

you got your hardness back huh......good for you....lol

Looks like a spaghetti mess. So what are you asking exactly?

[DOHCstunr]

Wow. Looks like total shit.
Just being honest, like dog shit.
I hope you didn't pay for that.

[XXL4G64]

I'm asking the CAS those 4 wires/power trans wires (he mark pin 23 that I do know goes back to the ecu but there 3 more ) do I wire them all to coil or no that part I'm lost at and yes I did pay for it learn from that.

[Galanttuner10]

I hate being right man. I had a feeling Bob wasn't going to do it correctly. Sad thing is that a lot of people go to that shop. I know he is local, but if you need any help I suggest going to Turbo Tony hes up in Torrington and can help you out. He is 2point2fast on Ccdsm

[DOHCstunr]

I would post those pics on every local forum you can find as a testament of his shotty work. Anyone who calls themselves a professional and works with the public producing work like that needs to go out of business and lose their house and shirt in the process.

He didn't even use heatshrink wrap. I wonder if those are even soldered wires. And using all the same color wire is a nice touch. Not to mention that he used red. You are going to thank him if you ever have to do any down the road wiring because you'll have no idea which wire is which.
