TOM'S_ZED Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hey folks can anyone tell me if the jdm ecu is a straight swap for the UK ecu seems a cheap way to get 10bhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hey folks can anyone tell me if the jdm ecu is a straight swap for the UK ecu seems a cheap way to get 10bhp. Lol wut? There is no power to be had from swapping ecu's. If you want power get an uprev remap and you will get 10bhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I think it is ......... but I also dont think you get 10hp from it, thats an urban myth. JDM's had slightly different geometry and were mapped to run on higher octane ut I dont think anyone has conclusively proven they are actually faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDM's had slightly different geometry and were mapped to run on higher octane ut I dont think anyone has conclusively proven they are actually faster It was widely believed especially the JDM ST had more power but abbey said all cars have pretty much the same. Either way it would be a decent sized job as jdms use some different parts like narrowband lambada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOM'S_ZED Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Right ok remap it is then read on here somwhere there's 10bhp difference in the ecu I beloved it as that's also the case with some Hondas I've built in the past but no worrys. Who does these up rev remaps then and do they alter the lamba sensor so it will take decats withthout putting the light on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chubby Ninja Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Check abbeys website. I think its £600 for an N/A map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOM'S_ZED Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Wow not cheap then. I'm guessing there's only 10-20bhp in a n/a remap aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 £450 @ Horsham Developments: http://www.h-dev.co.uk/index2.php?page=350z_mapping Worth doing for midrange poke and response even if it doesnt do a huge amount for headline figures.

Mark@Abbey m/s Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 We are £402-00 inc vat for a Uprev remap on our dyno. UK and JDM ignition maps are the same no difference , the fuel maps slightly different but nothing major. You cant swop ECU across as the cars has coded ECU for the NATS immobilizer system. Any questions ask away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOM'S_ZED Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Nope summed it up there mate what kind of gains will the remap give me roughly speaking of course and can you map out the lamba sensors so the cat light doesn't come on when decatted cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Most people use spacers for the sensors, that seems to stop the light coming on. I think he does them if Abbey don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Most stock cars gain around 10+bhp and same in torque running with decays always gain more bhp/torque. But the best gain is the throttle response and the removal of the throttle limiter in the lower 3 gears. Yes we can sort the CEL caused by running decays while we tune the car.

Dave-350 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Wow not cheap then. I'm guessing there's only 10-20bhp in a n/a remap aswell. £2000 will see you to 300BHP according to Abbey, in my personal opinion you must have more money than sense. If you want power gains get a supercharger or NOS. Or buy a V8. The only reason I will get the uprev is because of the driveability benifits, making the car drive a lot smoother as I heard its a very different drive once its done!

That combined with the TransGo shift kit should make a pretty big difference. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
