aftermarket ecu's

[saul79]

anyone using an aftermarket ecu with there 1.8t engine?

cheers saul

 

[ibizacupra]

nearly yes.
DTA S60 coming soon to badgerwagen

 

[saul79]

I was told by dta that i cant use it due to me having fbw? I want to remove it.

 

[ibizacupra]

sort of true. for now no dbw support for road cars.
i have their development one to test out you see so i will be a guinee pig for it.

thats good, i have taken the fbw parts off mine and fitted a 2e throttle body(mk3 golf gti) but no one knows which off the 3 wires to use to mate it to the the tps sensor.

 

[ibizacupra]

stick a dvm on ohms across them and move the pot about.
have a browse in the wiring for an old EXP48 DTA ecu.. and you will see some t'pot wiring.

cheers mate will have a look now

 

[saul79]

link not working

 

[ibizacupra]

it is for me... try again... my service providers fecked things up lately..

 

[saul79]

cheers it works now , am i right in thinking on the throttle pic it has wiper will this be the signal wire from the ecu

Not sure if Motec would have any offerings either if you were feeling flush

Motec do support dbw... for a price

all 3 go to the ecu.
what ecu have you got?

 

[saul79]

i've just bought an emerald k3 ecu £680 ,motec is to expensive lol ,not that rich ,will let you know when it arrives

hi,

with the emerald/dta will it completly replace the standard ecu or will it be a kind of piggy back with the standard one controlling some functions?

 

[Ricardo_Smooth]

should replace it and be wired into the rest of the loom

DTA replaces it, as would Emerald.
Mines 2 x ecus for the dbw support, plus X-Dash.

i'm only asking as my ecu could be faulty and wondered if it would be worth while putting a standalone ecu in, in prep for going IHI in the future, now to save costs in the long run.

Bill you say "Mines 2 x ecus for the dbw support, plus X-Dash." does this mean your runnig 2 ecu's, one for engine and one for the dash?

no 2 x ecus for engine +dash
its a prototype from DTA for dbw support.

I think you will get a lot more joy from the DTA this year Bill - be interesting to see how the DBW works out .
Emerald K3 for us on the Turnpike TT, they've done a lot of new features on the K3 version, most aiming at turbo applications. It's looking good at the moment, and lots more to come. We've done without the DBW for simplicity, not willing to fork out for Motec lol
