best place to send the stock ecu from a non turbo to be upgraded for turbos? I heard jim wolf was good would like to know opinions on them and possible other options.
the only stock ecu's that can be reprogrammed are in the 98-99 cars, otherwise you will need an ecu from a tt car or get one of the 98-99 tt ecu's because they are able to be flash tuned
this thread would be better in the turbo section of the forum, for some strange reason the n/a 3s community doesn't believe in tuning
correct me if I'm wrong but weren't the 97 and 98 3000gts identical? I have a 97 so I was thinking the ecus could be flashed or chiped.
No, they are not the same.
97-98 were identical exterior wise, but the ECU and wiring harnesses were different.
well is the engine control ecu and the transmision control ecu one in the same or are they seperated in the 3000gts? becaue if they are not seperated I can't use the ecu out of a vr4 because they are only manuel transmissions and mine is automatic.
Automatic cars have a seperate transmission control unit.
People have used VR4 ECU's in Automatic cars.
ok that's good to know however isn't there a compression difference between the vr4 and sls engines? wouldn't this throw off the programing from the vr4s computer? also if I were to get a vr4 ecu and put it in my sl does it conect to the harness without any modification?
From what I have seen in other threads the SL ECU is programmable as some people have "turned a SL ECU into a VR4 ECU."
The whole point of it being flashable means you can account for many changes/differences.
