What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[zei20l]

Just got outbid on Mines ECU on YAJ only 5 minutes ago...Got me in the dying seconds....

Oh well.....

really?

i thought if you bid within the last 5 mins on YAJ it extended it another 5 mins?

Its possible the IM interface timing isnt spot on......

anyway, sucks that you missed out on it, would have been a nice toy!

Yes, but it is 10mins, not 5.

Well that's what has always happened to me

No ebay sniping on Yahoo Auctions

Finally did the "wire" mod today.

I shouldn't work on cars after night shift; everything seems to take twice as long...

Tired, eyes a bit blurry & cutting wires at the ECU. Yep, recipe for success, lol.

Lol, yeah, I might've checked everything a few (hundred) times before cutting; just to make sure.

Car starts, and no fault lights. Going to wait 'till later for a test.

[Daleo]

Mind started ticking away; had to go for a drive...

That's a surprisingly useful little mod!

Wired up a switch to reset if need be. Is it just a case of close circuit, tap brakes, fault gone?

Good work for doing the hard yards guys; riding your coat tails is a great thing.

What was the "wire" mod again?

[Sunkist]

lol thanks Dale!

the brake signal / 100% throttle mod scotty and I figured out.

[Daleo]

Ecu harness, Pink wire, blue trace; cut, insert momentary switch, have access to full throttle opening whenever you like. Enjoy better low speed throttle response and no delay after brake application.

Every now & then, close circuit and tap brake to avoid ECU going into "Limp Mode"

Anyone else care to fill in any holes in my explanation?

[Sunkist]

And I edited your post for the (future)emanage people

once you notice something shifty going on afeter approx 100km, go for another emanage tune. much better than just resetting.

[slippylotion]

How often to you need to close the circuit and tap the brakes? Is it weekly or every 100km or 500km?

[Sunkist]

100-200km seems to vary with everyone. as soon as a light comes up on the dash(i think engine) just connect the wire, tap the brake, disconnect the wire.

[slippylotion]

Is there any way to send a constant signal to the ecu on that wire so it thinks it's connected and won't need to be reset all the time?

Could you hook the brake pedal light switch to that ECU wire to give a signal everytime the brakes are used? I don't know what voltage it see's/needs, just thinking of ideas.

I don't use IM. I have a mate in Japan who was on it for me to 49,000Y (much cheaper for me this way - avoid IM's commission). I was trying to call him for the last half hour as i was watching the bidding get higher and higher to up the bid a bit, however couldn't get him on phone....I was stuck! You are right in that time is extended with YAJ - i just couldn't get a subsequent increase in bid on.....

I recently bought the ex Andy, then ex Aaron Impul ECU which i have here, and was only going to get this one to compare!

What were the specs that the comp runs with?

No idea?? That's why i was interested in comparing differences between this and the Impul...

Mine's generic tune (from memory)

RPM limit raised to 7100 or 7300 (can't remember which)

Boost raised to 1.1bar

Speed limiter removed

Throttle remap

Fuel/timing remap

Of course, the end user could specify whatever the hell they wanted (2bar boost and 7,500rom for instance) and all Mine's state is "yes, but please consider the risk"

[prince_skyline]

Take your word for that info Cam. There wasn't a great deal of info on the listing. Is that info straight from mines?

You probably already know but I left the wiring diagram books with Aaron for you to collect and borrow.

i doubt it, if it detects connection while the brake is applied theres not point in having it.its best and easiest to have a momentary switch

[zei20l]

i suggested a timer circuit, or something hooked up to the water temp. so it gets brake signal till the engine gets to 70degrees. before then you arent going to need to hammer it

but who would go through the trouble of that? lol if commsman doesnt, i dont think anyone will.
