Ok who wants my ECU. I need to cut my timing for the turbo setup and you need my ECU for advanced timing. I will drive as far as you will. Hit me up! We'll switch.

 

[twizyours]

I am interested. I live in Raleigh. PM me if you want to do this.

 

[ozz]

i live in frederick maryland how far are you from here

 

[ALLMAN]

BRO!!!!!.......I live in Hickory(Lincolnton)...well, Close enough!!......Lets do this!!...Peace!..BTW, Unless there is more MP3's around Hickory, I've passed you or someone else like you on Hwy 321 many times...could that be you??

 

[Adam3482P]

most likely me I work on 321 at MDI. But to everyone I think I got a switch set up for sunday. But if not it will be up for someone else.

 

[ALLMAN]

LOL!!!...I'm the Engineer who's been doing all that damn floor joint repairs at MDI.....LOL!!!..small world!!

 

[Adam3482P]

Well just go over towards the lower parking lot at the office building and there she sits.

 

[Adam3482P]

jee wouldn't that be Convenient for an ECU switch

 

[ALLMAN]

You just name the place and time for the switch and I'll see if my schedule allows the time frame...it can be done before Sunday if you want to meet with me this week....just a thought!!


Update.....HMMM...I too have read the ECU swap info,.....but really didn't think warranty violations would be an issue...due to our cars being basically the same...so now I'm somwhat hesitant. I'd rather wait until more have spoken up in case you where swinging my way on swapping due to convenience...Peace!

 

[DooMer_MP3]

The only thing that is different is the VTCS thing that the MP3 doesn't have for cold starts. I think you have to do something to the solenoid to keep it from opening or closing. Here or protegeclub.com had a thread on this at some point. As for the warranty issue. The techs will not know unless they look at the ECU.

[Adam3482P]

well we made a deal that if anything feels weird with either of our cars we will switch back so I think it'll be strait to try out.

 

[ALLMAN]

Also, the P5 Fly'ing Miata used to compare MP3 to MP5 was upgraded with a turbo at 6psi...so aren't we really comparing apples to oranges here as far as ECU performance differences??...it would be nice to have stock-to-stock comparisons!!..Peace!

 

[Adam3482P]

well the other comparison on there is a completly stock MP3 with both ECU's so it will give you an idea.

 

[ALLMAN]

So you're still staying with the other guy for right now?..Peace!

Yeah,....so there performance differences they claim mostly derive from OEM exhaust/muffler....I guess!!

 

[Adam3482P]

well I did already offer so I figure I better stick with it unless he backs out. Good buisness ethics

 

[ALLMAN]

Yeah, I agree!!.....keep your word!!......I guess contact me if nothing comes of it...Peace!
