piggyback ecu

[Guest]

im new to modifying cars, i usually just buy a fast car and drive it lol.
ive been offered a pggyback ecu for a really good price, what does it do?

It depends on the type of piggyback system. As a minimum you will be able to remap the air fuel ratio's. Thus giving better power and better fuel usage.

Hey mate I think you need to do some searching through the threads and getting a better understanding of things before asking too many questions. We are a bit past reinventing the wheel. The answers are out there to most things.

 

[Guest]

Do a search on somewhere like autospeed.com.au they've got some good articles about piggybacks and some comparisons between different types too.

go stand alone, mirco tech (aussie made i think ??? support the depression )

Hay man if you dont no anything about ECU's how do you no you are getting it for a good price??

Ahhhh touche


LOL!:bigsmile:

maybe this thread should be integrated in 'Official too lazy to search/fat prick/stupid questions thread. All stupid questions to be asked here' thread

...just a suggestion

I'm not sure if the original poster is ever going to come back!

maybe he was too lazy to post it in the too lazy to search section

LOL! profound man. profound

Hey mate

I got a Emanage ULTIMATE which is pretty much the closest thing to stand alone management system it retails for around 1200$ i got mine for 600$ form a bloke who had it on an RX7

There is a bloke on these forums that has a VR4 with a same unit and other mods but he does 4.5 second or something like that 0 to 100km / hour.

Anyway im moving places and need cash so i can sell it to you for 600 but it has a universal harness which was put on RX7 so that will need to be rewired, also it comes with boost pressure sensor thats 200 buck alone but ill chuck it in if you are interested.

PM me

Cheers
Tomas

Thats a good price, is there much involved in setting up the harness for a VR4?

I dont really know to be honest, i have a mate who is not a nerd but a super geek lol in electronics, smokes pot and draws up some weird diagrams for sound system manufacturers and gets paid 200000+ and he has a super hot girlfriend ( bastard ) all from home, anyway i was going to get him to solder new ends for me.

You can buy an M5 harness which suits our car for about 200 but i found the diagrams for the harness on the greddy website and was going to get my mate to do it but I think anyone who has some knowledge in electronics might me able to help – just speculating thought.

Hmmm.... you can put 2 & 2 together there hehe.

Ive got an e manage ultimate in my car at the moment and i am having problems on the dyno with it, went with 1000cc injectors and walbaro 400 e85 approved fuel pump. Went the emanage so i could run a dual map one on e85 and one on 98, put the car on the dyno started to miss fire at 5k. Tuner thinks its down to the ignition solenoid over heating quite severely which then sends wrong voltage signals to the injectors causing the car to missfire. Took the car to an auto elec and they couldnt do anything with out wiring diagrams so now my car is at home lumpy, grumpy, smoky and miss firing. I dont know what to do. Any ideas, or where i can go to get my car sorted.

Misfires are common as, firstly make sure you have 0.8mm gapped iridium plugs, if so what are the leads like? If good, what are the coilpacks like? E85 is harder on ignition systems too, so you may want to consider coil on plug from Naughtika.

Secondly, why are you running a piggyback when you could be tuning the factory ecu? And unless your changing turbos the 400 pump is overkill, even for e85, but that's not an issue....

Regards to the ecu it was reccomended and i know it is a great ecu and i got it for a decent price soo i thought id give it a shot, called driven motorsport today and they said the same thing why the hell did i decide to run the emanage ultimate. They can now do a lot of tuning with the stock ecu so looks like the emanage is coming out. Once i get pictures of there manifolds they have made there is a good chance i will buy them as i have 28/71s sitting in the garage hence over kill on the fuel pump. Jon told me the last vr4 they did with there manifolds and some sort of tdo4s on a flashed factory ecu running 22psi the car cranked out 285awkw soo i am quite excited now

 

[TME_Steve]

Excellent, yes rip out the piggy back, check the ignition and go from there a pair of 2871s is big!
