I am buying a usedTechnoSquare ECU for my 96SE 5speed from a .org member with a 96 auto. He said it will throw a CEL code... is this just because I am using an auto ECU in my 5 speed? Correctable? What are the differences in actual performance mods made to an auto ECU v manual (slightly different idle speed/ maybe different advance for vacuum issues?)?? I don't mind TS not messing w/ rev limiter unless I install MEVI later (can add Harlan, I guess). Everybody raves about ECU upgrades, I hope I did right for the $$.

 

its a good investment and it makes a big difference! I bought a Technosquare ECU off a org. member too and i was impressed.... worth the cash!

 

haha, I bought a ts ecu off an .org member as well!! its like we are in the 'I bought a used ts ecu from other .org member' club! haha, anyway its a really sweet upgrade! It makes a huge difference. I just did the dek swap..well its almost done and im going to see if they can raise the rev limiter for me. but i can wait to run the ts with my dek and full exhaust!! You will be pleased!

 

Thanks guys!! My only real concern is the timing reprogram (1) I guess I have to run premium instead of "plus" and (2)difference in automatic program v manual... I bought an "automatic ECU" for my 5 speed. I've been told that I WILL get an error light but unsure if I can ever get rid of it after install. Is this really just "plug and play" part (ECU) board exchange next to firewall at accelerator?? Seems too easy! I appreciate your input!!!

The only problem I had was removing those four screws to remove the stock ECU-- I lost a small phillips screw bit inside my car-- it fell under the floor. It was fustrating for me.. but after that, it was easy!

 

too bad there is no extended rev limiter on the TS

 

TS has dual maps to make use of non-premum fuel so it shouldn't be too different.

 

I was not aware of dual mapping!!! So maybe I can just keep running "plus" grade without messing the engine up?? Actually, I used to run regular with no problems (no knocks and same gas mileage) but everyone said to use premium... I conceded to "plus" (cheap SOB that I am ) I was led to believe that I would HAVE to run premium with reprogrammed ECU. I never hit above 6200 on my shifts but I didn't want to screw things up on the way up there! Thanks for the heads up!!
I also understand that when I install the MEVI, I have sitting in the garage, it will really pull (even though I'm not going to use a rev-limiter). Any ideas on how to defeat the (probable) engine error light by my using an auto ECU v a manual in my 5 speed without sending back to TS???? Doug

 

Can't u call TS so they reflash ur ecu wit the manual map??

Anyone selling a TS ECU for an 02-03 maxima????

 

No. It's not that simple.
