showtime1 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 i take it that when you do an ecu reset on a mapped car it doesnt wipe the map out and revert to stock settings . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Nope, the map is in a part of the ECU that isnt effected by the reset, so safe to reset to your hearts content Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Depends if you have a JDM or UK spec car, the J spec needs an ECU reflash/map to make the best of mods like induction or spacers and exhausts etc,it cannot adjust itself to account for mods, and there is Little can be done with the UK ECU AFAIK (waits for Mark to jump in as he may be able to do the UK ECU now?)

Mark@Abbey m/s Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Any uprev dealer can remap the UK cars , but we are able to LIVE map the UK cars now, which makes tuning FI cars a lot easier and safer. A UK car cant be lived mappd so you log tweak and send the map. All 350Z ECU,s self learn, thats what we play with when we remap a ECU we get the triming part of the map closer to the template AFR map. If you have fitted a Plenum spacer it will slowly revert to the mapped map , but if you reset it it will perform a little better for a while. Tricky once you see a ECU working live your understand how it all owrks and what I have been talking about over the last few months ( Fuel has 2 maps 1 , template AFR and 2, compensation. if the compensation is miles out it takes longer for the car to read the correct templated AFR ratio , if you add a mod, the compensation map needs tweaking so it is closer to the Templated AFR.) hope this helps. If you reset the ECU is cancels out the learnt fuelling so makes the car feel a little faster for a while till the ECU learns again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
