mikca01 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Ring Fensport mate yeah was thinking that mate. just need the pin positions on the plug for ecu. fensport say to take the cover off the ecu and pins are marked. wanted to avoid that was hoping to just splice into the wiring on the plug. ecu looks like it would be a pain in the ass to get out. getting to the plugs for it is much easier Edited October 19, 2011 by mikca01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would get the car running on the chip and cams first then add the other bits maybe. yeah my brother in law used to have his own auto elec place so he is doing the chip for me. chip will be first thing done probly. thats been the hold up getting engine work started wanted the chip in place before anything else. maybe another fone call to the nice man from super chips see if i can squeeze as much as i can out of everything. if its reprogrammable then should be able to get a bit more hopefully.

sonic Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 cant believe you got a lead and software for superchips for free !!!!! now you are cooking with gas , fennies and superchips hq just told me to foff only place i found them was a mini specialist who wanted £90 for the pair i found that the superchips diagram wrong , the 3sge wiring was for a gen 6 and i had to wire my gen 5 ecu the same as an mr2 , took about half an hour to fathom which wire went where , but got there in the end ,with the software you can remap to get the best out of it , i think the only thing you 'may' need is an old laptop as the lead is serial port (not usb) but the lead and software are mega rare so an old laptop should be easy to find/borrow later on in life you 'could' offer to remap others who have the chip , they are very popular in rover/mg circles , may a bob or 2 on the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
