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.:thumbsup:

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

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

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.:thumbsup:

What was the "wire" mod again?

Ecu harness, Pink wire, blue trace; cut, insert momentary switch, have access to full throttle opening whenever you like.:thumbsup: 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?

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.

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"

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

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.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
