Remapped R33 Ecu

[boostn0199]

Im thinking of buyin a already remapped r33 ecu but it has been tuned for a car with far more mods den mine and i was wondering is it safe to run it in mine until i get it retuned for mine?

Why not just drive it with the standard ecu and swap it when it gets retuned

yeah i was planning on that just i meant for example on the day im going to get it tuned ill put the ecu in my car and drive to the place to dyno it and get it tuned

why not just let them swap it in?

well if they dont charge extra i will. Only thing troubling me about buyin this ecu the guy doesnt know if its the dr drift type remap where you can keep over righting the tune with a new one or the toshi type where to get it retunned it needs a new chip in it. is there anyway to find out

Just swap it when you get there.

It takes less than 5mins

mate !! best bet would be to call dr. Drift to find out.. I'd think there should be a connector/port to connect the ecu to the laptop if it's a re-tunreble/ dr.drift type ecu where as a Toshi type is identical to stock ecu (non-retunerble)

Sams (dr.drift) ecu's are just the stock ecu modified, he plugs his laptop into the data port under the dash.

The only way to tell what it is, is to get the guy to take some pics of the inside of the ecu and send them along to Sam, he will be able to tell you if its good or not.

Hope this helps

We need to plug into the ECU directly for R33, send me a picture with the lid off the ECU and I'll let you know.
