just got my stage 1 chip to go in my 2wd cozzy but never changed one on a cozzy before so where is the ecu and how do i get it out?
also anyone have a pic of what chip i need to take out?
changed the chip in my old 325 e30 and this chip seems to fit same as the bmw one.

 

there's a panel on the dash above the glove box, it should pop out and ecu is in there mate

 

ah right. thanks.

 

Where did you get it from mate? Was it gayanalsextoys.com? lol

 

the package it came in looked that way hahahaha.

 

As said, there are four screws holding the cover on and you will need to remove two screws to actually remove it to start with, they can be a bit awkward to get in/out.

The chip may well be the same but the software is obviously completely different, old BIOS chips aren't dissimilar either.

It will be obvious once you see the ECU as the chip will only fit in it's correct location.

thanks again pal. is there any easy way of getting the multiplug off the ecu. seems to have a bit of a lug stopping it just pulling out. am guessing this just bends back?

 

Push the silver tab on the multiplug to the right IIRC and remove that end of the plug first. The other end hooks in first when refitting.

 

 

cheers BigErn gonna go do it now.

 

right just opened it up and its got a big yellow label over the chip saying L6STAGE1.
must of just had the boost turned down?
wonder if its worth putting this turbosystems chip in?

 

Just try it mate and see what happens.

 

Does your Amal valve work, stage 1 is circa 15PSI? Gives around 280HP but importantly more torque.

Martin

 

its all wired up so am guessing it works. the car is only running 10 psi so i think the boost may have been turned down.
anyway fitted the chip adjusted the actuator a tiny bit and started it up.
seems to idle a bit higher now and is a tiny bit of smoke so it could be running rich?
just going to take it real easy to my mates tommorrow so he can check the co2 out.
just trying to find out what the c02 should be for this chip.

 

Tony at Turbosystems should be able to tell you the correct CO.

What colour is the smoke?

 

erm a smokey colour haha
think its more of a black smoke but isnt loads of it.

 

Idle co is 1-2%

 

tony just pm'd you there regarding this.
cheers for the info everyone.

 

you need to set the co potentiometer to zero pot position
to do this:-
1. ignition off
2. turn the co screw 5 turns clockwise
3. turn co screw exactly 2 turns anti clockwise

 

thanks mate i will go do that now and check it tommorrow.

 

How did you get on baz?

 

the c02 was at 3% so just left it there. only hitting 13psi though but am on the standard actuator so may get a -31.
although i keep thinkin of selling and getting a s3 or a evo for some reason.

 

remove the restrictor from the r port of the amul valve and recheck the boost level
this can be done bt using a small self taper
boost level should be set at around 17 psi spike ,holding 15-16 tailing at 6krpm to 13
fuel pressure should be set to 3.8 bar absolute ie vac off

 

cheers tony. think am best taking it somewhere to get it setup properly as i dont have the tools or know how.

quick question how much would a decent tuner charge to fit greens,chip, 3 bar map senser and set my car up?
is it safe buying greens second hand?

 

oh and i will need to get my new clutch in before the boost goes any higher as i found out earlier haha

 

I can pass on Will Pedleys number if you want and get a quote off him.He has just set my cossie up and its like a different car now.

 

The only evos i like are the 8s and 9s.

The parts are too dear for my liking.

 

glenn thats the only thing that has put me off evos is the price of bits.
probs be near christmas time if i put some greens in and get it setup ect just wondering how much its gonna cost to do it properly

 

That's the best way baz get it done right first time like I did and mine was reliable I used to use it everyday and it never let me down.
I think you will be supprised at how much it will cost it's not that bad.

 

where did u take yours bram?

 

Ive also heard horror stories about evos too.2 lads i know had them. One lad had a evo 5 and he blew
the bottom end out of the engine.Then another lad i know fooked the cams in his evo 4.

 

It may be worth getting them cleaned if second hand.
