97 - 99 owners (ECU Related)

what if i told you for $399 you could get 15 fwhp on your ORIGINAL ECU..

would you be interested?

let me know.. i am willing to take on this task.. but i would have to get my ECU done and then dyno test it.. maybe a track run also..

let me know people..

Aww man, stick to your guns You should know better than to say a reprogrammed ECU will give you 15fwhp. It was pretty clear that the 95/96 G-Force and JWT ecus gained a marginal 3-5fwhp and tq (well within the difference in a back to back run on a dyno) and never held up to it's claim at the track. Remember that any gains below 4000rpms are pretty much worthless because your launch should put you at 3500rpms in 1st and all other shifts will land you well above 4000rpms. Both the G-Force and JWT ecus showed some gain down low, but where it counts at the track, it was worthless. I'd figure you'd doubt the ECU gains well before doubting the UDP claims

If you prove it works I'd be in for sure.

I'm still trying to find information on the Unichip for our cars. There are some other ones in Australia too. It's just hard because they all want your car on a dyno to tweak the settings. But if you did all the legwork I'd definitely be in for some quiet hp.

Good looking out sprint but only thing am scared of is that the car will run irregularly ie revs dropping, off car stalling etc....

Wait a minute. I bought a G-Force ECU from another local member. He has a 5-speed. With the ECU his track times dropped exactly .50 from his stock time. I installed the ECU, and the car felt immediately faster. I took it to the track, and ran exactly .50 seconds faster than previously. The claims are true. The ECU works. I have an auto.

His stock time: 15.6 My stock time: 16.3
w/ G-Force ECU: 15.1 w/ G-Force ECU: 15.8

I heard from somewhere that if you have a 5speed and put an ecu from a auto in your car you can get gains that way. when Harold converted his 95 to a 5 speed i think he left the ecu in there...

I wouldn't run a 150 on anything, but it all depends on what else you have, and don't forget another fidolla for the fuel pressure jet...

a 100shot at 1100psi must be more than a 100shot right. higher pressure flows more nos.
