Ecu Programming Question

[bobba]

Hey people,

Does anybody know whether it is possible to alter the rev limiter value of a stock ECU while it is in the car?

I have replaced the stock chip in my car (R32 GTS-t) with a different chip, and the new tune either has no rev limiter or it's higher than 8000rpm (i don't want to find out past there!)...

So, can I use my consult cable and some nifty software to change the value? Or is it required that I take the chip out and have someone re-map it?

If it's the second one, I can't be stuffed and will stick with the Bee*r limiter.

Thanks in advance for any replies!!

Bobby.

Its remap time.

it depends on what sort of chip it is running. if it is something like the nistune daughterboard then it can be done with just the nistune software and a laptop without touching the rest of the tune. if it is a rom chip that has to be burnt each time something is altered then it will need to be done by someone who can do that sort of thing.

Thanks for the replies. I can do that sort of thing. I've done a lot of google-ing (I guess I should have first) and have the info I need... but it seems it's going to have to be a remap as you guys suggest.

Can I be frigged doing a remap just for rev limiter? Probably not but I've just had the stupid bee*r blow my O2 sensor so maybe I should before the damn thing does something major. That'll teach me for hitting it to stop tailgaters
