Don't the A/F and timing changes only make a difference at partial throttle? So if you floor your car now, it's not going to go any faster than it did before? Is that true or am I wrong? I hope I'm wrong because what would the point be then....

So the secret is out. I heard from one of the local guys that this has been done for a while, and he got a different rev limit. Also, you guys are overpaying.

I also didn't see anyone step up to the plate when we were wanting a raised limit out for 4th Gens and I personally asked Danny (at the time) to start this project back in 2003. I sent them my ECU and they went to work.
As far as over paying goes, you believe what you want.

And I know for sure that the ECU can be had for less, as my friend has bought 3 of them for less than the $410 mentioned above. But that was probably because we just drive down there personally. Even more rediculous is what they charge to do the 5th gen ECU upgrades, which don't require soldering in new hardware, or even opening the case.
In any case, the higher rev limiter now makes the 4th gens equal to the DE-K's., so it will be interesting to see what the future holds.

The price is really up to what TS wants to charge the individual. We can't say you can get it for cheaper if TS doesn't agree to it.
Guys, the price for the ECU upgrade is $380 but I wanted it next day so I paid $30 for next day service. My bad if anyone misunderstood me.

Well what price SHOULD we be paying? ie.. if we call them and ask for a price.

4th gen with DE-K IM and ECU is a N/A beast.

God I wish the VQ30DE engine was soo played out like the Hondas/Acuras so we'd get ECU upgrades for only $200

You have it backwards.

Someone refresh my mind please. I read something about it but it was a long time ago. What would happen if I put the 96 auto ecu in my 96 5spd? I know that apparently the ECU blips the throttle during shifts but what else? Will I get codes as well? I'm only asking cause if TS doesn't have the 5spd rev limit cracked yet, I'm willing to send my auto ecu if no big problems would arise from me using it.

you will get a half dozen codes but the car will run just fine.

Whoever is going to get this mod will be very happy. I can't believe how much power this car recovers with the ECU. Anyone have a dyno comparision of the TS or JWT ECU against stock with the VI?

The impresive part of what Requin6 posted is where you will be in the power band (for a 5spd at least). Look at the two curves, w/o the JWT ECU from 4.5k-6.5K and w/ the JWT ECU from 5K-7K. The average HP for the JWT ECU in that range is 188.43 and the stock ECU is 178.59.

Timing on this ecu was further advanced from the standard TS unit. I have no idea what timing Deezo would have ended up with.

Thanks for posting the dynos guys. I've been looking for a good data logger for my laptop (don't care for the Palm) so I can see what my engine is doing now. My coworker (a SpecV guy) things I should really get some dyno time. I'd rather run to the track though.
