Eurospec, 7202 ECU and a reflash

[Atik]

I just dropped off my car to Eurospec for a full ECU reflash on my car. Thought I could keep a thread posted with progress and updates and hopefully some good results.

The car, in case you dont know it, is a manual converted Legnum VR4 (260ps). Was fitted with an E-Manage Blue (piggyback ECU) and boost controller... and a whole load of other bits and bobs. The last dyno run showed the car running at 0.8bar boost, managed 223.5bhp at the wheel and 287.4bhp at the flywheel.

I had since 'lost' my ECU map and was running back on stock ECU settings and managed to up the boost to 1bar (but with no way of monitoring AFR and knock etc, I backed off to 0.9bar) and the car felt super quick.

So fingers crossed, Ben can work some magic and get my car to reach the 300bhp point.

When you getting it back matey?

[aboo]

Looking forward to the results.

I am watching this one with interest

[aboo]

When is someone going to sort the auto ecu out?

Are you getting confused with the Vipec mate?

[aboo]

Thought this was a map of the standard ECU.

[Turbo_Steve]

It is, and as far as I am aware, Aboo is correct and the Manual has been reflashed but the Auto has yet to be tested?
Atik has a FL ECU in his car, and a manual conversion.

[aboo]

Thats what I thought Steve. So you dont need Vipec,piggyback or Map2.

[Nutter_John]

If the ecu is flashable then it makes no difference if it is auto or manual

[aboo]

So what your saying John if you get a ECU 7202 for an auto it can be re flashed?

What I'v read on here its not as easy as that.

[Nutter_John]

Ok none of you have read the post where by Mu told everyone that his AUTO super vr4 had just been flashed to give him a higher fuel cut limit

And the person who flashed it was me

Basically when the 7202 is flashed you are not touching the control software from an auto/manual side all you are doing is alterning the timing / fuel and boost tables

[White Lightning]

That's what I thought

[aboo]

I did read that but for some reason I'v allways thought Dons was a manual. Dont ask me why.

Is higher fuel cut limit the only advantage?

As I'm hitting 16psi in 1st & 2nd & then dropping to 14psi 3rd,4th & 5th at the mo.

[Nutter_John]

No we only chose to up the boost cut as we did not have any method for reading afr's .

To tune the ecu you only need ecuflash , evoscan , a long piece of camera free road , a AFR reader that works with evoscan and plenty of time and fuel

'Tis as John said. I have a 7202 'flashable' ECU from a manual FL that will be replacing my current stock 7201 PFL ECU.

I am aiming to get the car back next weekend (28/29th Nov). I've just left the car with them for the week so they can play with it properly and get it mapped to the limit. I am currently driving a big 'rat' which surprisingly is quite comfortable Thanks Ben, although I was secretly hoping to take the Skyline as a courtesy car

Hopefully Ben can also place his wise input in this thread as he goes along. Don has managed to alter his boost map (with John's help), but as far as I know, there isnt anyone else who has fully remapped a 7202 in the UK? As its new territory, I'm hoping with this development, it can help the club as a whole to learn more about the car and even maybe get the 7201 fully remapped.

[aboo]

Sorry for the thread hijack Atik but I now know whats next on my shopping list.

Thanks John for the info this has cleared a few things up for me.

[Nutter_John]

the 7201 is a totally different ball game so lets not confuss the issue

I recon you should see around 305 bhp

[Atik]

To tune the ecu you only need ... a long piece of camera free road ...

Is there anywhere in the UK like that now? Seems to be average speed cameras and other such speed trap devices everywhere these days.
