how the **** do i take out the old one? i can't even find it. the ecu jwt send me is BASICALLY 7x7x1, is that correct?!? i thought our ecu was a lot smaller. anyways, can someone guide me thru this? ugh, i can do suspension, ypipes and brakes but i can't even do a freakin ecu

 

There are two panels on each side of the lower center console where your feet are. They pop off and you'll see the ECU. Goodluck, it's in a tight space.

to the right of the pedals is a little panel held in by 2 plastic clips, take that off and there it is...

 

Damn you...

 

awesome, that is what i was kinda thinking...back to the garage!

oh, and ivel, i might be selling it in a few months...i'll make a post if i do

 

four screws hold it in.... two facing to passenger compartment and two facing the firewall... hee hee .. good luck~!

 

remove the ECU with the mounting bracket, it is much easier that way. Then take the mounting bracket off.

 

ok, we're all done, it took like 3-4 hours...omg, it is such a pain in the *** to get it out. we couldn't get it put back in, the front slot/tab thing blaaaaahhhhh i don't wanna talk about it.

it was a pain, it's in good enough where itwon't move, but ******* i hope i never mess with it again.

car feels pretty good, i ordered it with the 7200 redline, and the fuelcut hits at a tach-indicated 7400-7500. midrange is strong

now wheres my mevi

 

I'd hate to see how max accelerates, or doesn't, at 7K rpm w/o an MEVI, it must make just an awful noise.

 

Damn, some of these tachs must really be off more than others. I've got the 7000rpm limiter and I hit fuel cut at an indicated 7100rpms in every gear.

It took me about 2 hours to get my stock ECU out. And for that very reason my JWT ECU sits hidden under my front passenger floormat instead of back where it belongs.

 

along with your rpm switch and various wires. Really, if you guys saw Neals wiring job, especially under his hood, you would you **** off Lets just say he is all about function rather than form.
