just bought my 1st saffy and been told its stage 3 etc etc , i bought it with a blown engine and am currently rebuilding her but am just finding my feet with it and would appreciate help with identifying the ecu + chip for starters and im sure ill be needing loads more help and advice in the next few months ,

cheers, Danny

For the ecu see the pictures at:

Is there anything written on the ecu or the label on the chip?

just looked at the link and i think its a level 1 ecu , it has a yellow mixture screw and the transistors are screwed down , are these ecu's any good ?? if im looking at the right thing there is a sticker on the chip saying (sierra y/s 2 803/320) and hand written it says roy's and 3 on the sticker too ??

yellow co screw does normally mean it's a L1 which was used on some really early Sapp's but more common on the 3 dr! the other info you've said would suggest it's running 803's and good for 320 bhp at a guess!

oldford

I agree, 803 injectors and probably a 3-bar map sensor from an unknown source.
The only problem with a L1 ecu is that you can't have closed-loop lambda control and other fun things like launch-control and ALS.

thanks for that , ill prob run it for a bit whilst i run the engine in after the rebuild and then might start playing about a bit more

Take care guys, the fact it says that on the sticker means nothing. I regularly get cars in after meltdowns with totally incorrect labels from the ebay copycats.
