I'm thinking of upgrading my L6 ECU to an L8 version.

Apart from the ECU, what other parts are required ??

Cheers

 

pf o9 throttle position switch,and swop the two outer wires round

 

plus a new chip

 

Is that right?? i'll have to sort that out as i wasn't aware

 

When i converted mine,i just got an adaptor loom for throttle position sensor from car looms,for about Ł12,just plug and play,

Thanks for above lads

Shall now be on the look out for a decent L8 ecu and above accessories then !!

 

What is your reason for the change,as your 2wd ecu does most things ppl want on the road

cheeRS stu

 

ask shorty on here he has a fettish about L8s

 

i have a spare mint pfr09 if you need...........and a 4x4 loom

 

To clarify, you still need the PF09 though.

 

Was advised to go Closed Loop and that an L8 is required to do this ??

 

Or P8 yes.

 

So Stu,

What your saying is that it has to be either a P8 or L8 (Green Top)??

 

P8 or any L8 mate.

 

Dero,stu's going to kill me here,but do you do enough miles to justify fitting closed loop,as you will need to do a fair few miles for it to pay for it's self,but yes it is a good system,have it on my own 2wd saff,supplied by stu

Yeah Stu, I must admit it is a bit of an outlay for the closed loop set up eh ??

What other plus points does the L8 have over the L6 ??

 

Dont you also need to wire in a lambda sensor for ruuning close loop on the L8/P8?

 

This may be a daft question but when you change to a L8 how does it fit into the car as it doesnt have the mounting lugs like the L1 and L6?

Thanks

 

Yes need lambda as well if not already got, all on msd's site.

Good old velcro or swap all the L8 stuff into the L6 case.
