Thread: ECU upgrade

what sort of figure 'ball park' are we talking about here

around the $750 mark, well worth it. I know it's not but feels like double the power. huge improvement at all speeds. nice for overtaking at 110kph, just takes off.

Unfortunatly at the same time had to replace the turbo and MAF, that hurt a bit.

I too have Marcs autologic chip.
BlackBetty is real strong now.
In 4th gear(manual box) overtaking roadtrains up hill I near pushed an EF falcon with a young hoon steering it past the roadtrains.
Pretty good,a 2.5lt diesel in a much heavier vehicle performing the same as a 4lt 6cyl petrol.And yes the young bloke was trying to get away!!!!
Will be upgrading my intercooler and fitting a new radiator.The chip produces alot of heat,so bare that in mine.ESPECIALLY is summer on long hills.Your temp gauge WILL NOT tell you this.

Amazing difference isn't it, makes it so much more fun to drive, I can easily belive you gave the falcon a good push

Totally agree . But how do you keep an eye on the temp if the guage wont tell you . And what kind of damage will it do ?

You need a decent coolant temp gauge and should have an EGT gauge.

Im yet to get an EGT gauge.

I use my Nanocom in instrument mode,it displays the coolant temp that the ECU is recieving.

The dash is programed to read in the center until a predetermined temp is hit.(from memory 108deg,may be 114degC,Im sure the brains trust will correct me)This is way too hot before you are warned,I can easilly get 105deg without a trailer!!!!
