that sensor looks like an air temp sensor so im guessing that there is an aftermarket ECU inside the standard ecu housing. probably something like a link g4 or a vipec.

check if there is a USB cable coming out of the ECU.

If I didn't know the type of mangment system in a car I just bought... the first thing I would do is throw it on the rollers to check out the tune...

Make shure it's not running some "fully hecktic sick... timing"

J.

lol yeh thats a valid point.

Ooh I don't know about that, a bargain is a bargain.............maybe thats what he had??

Anyway whats all the fuss about, a sub $1500 ECU, how many people here purchased their car to find some no brand aftermarket jap rechip or some such. I can't see any real difference TBH.

Exactly right Security, as long as the price is right and the total package is good to go.........it only matters what you do with it after you got it that counts. So a check over and tune and and maybe a plan for what the car needs and what mods your looking at doing are the main points, not what happened before you got it. And if its no good then you wouldn't have purchased it in the first place hopefully.

yeah thanks anyhow i actually dont know the last owner as it was a trade in at my families car yard he upgraded to a newer car...the car drives perfect and has been well looked after according to all the recipts in the glove box i have only had it for a week and have not had enough time to investigate every thing with work taking most of my time.... i guess only thing left to do would be to un do the stard computer and have a look in behind it.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
