ECU

I'm planning to re-map my siemens 90bhp 406, i understand it will have to be sent away to do this. Can i put another ECU in while its being done?

I understood that the Siemens system could not be remapped, at least with no wortwhile results. I'd be very interested to hear how you get on with this as I might be interested in it.

I believe that the injectors are coded to the ECU, so this may cause you problems.

Keep me posted on how you get on

will do, not be getting it done for a wee while waiting to MOT a 306 est so i have another car to drive!i'm in the middle of swapping alot of things from my Crashed rapier to the one i just bought!

I tried to get my 90 with a Siemens ECU remapped and couldnt without getting it sent away so I have fitted a Viezu tuning box and so far very impressed acceleration is a lot smoother especially in 3rd and 4th.

I used AP tuning (www.aptuning.co.uk) who originally tried the remap and then got the box for me - very impressed with them, Darren (the owner) went out of his way to sort this out after not being able to remap it.

Give him a try and tell him I (Tony) sent you

That'll be you on TDOCUK then....

Aye

Well that's at least two of us.

Like I said, I've explored the same thing with no luck and also ended up buying a "tuning box" - a Tunit VCR. I've not bothered with the sending it away option as I haven't been able to do without the car at all. I'm happy with the results it's given me so far (with a couple of other mods), much more "driveable" on a day to day basis as most of my driving is over very hilly B roads. But if you go ahead I might be persuaded

Is this Tuning box Big money?

[ECA]

The one I got is about £260 I think but have a quick chat with Darren as I know he does do some deals and specials now and again

[BigGav75]

Where is AP tuning?

[ECA]

He's based in kent - but the box you can fit yourself it takes minutes then you just spend a bit of time adjusting the screw for performance/economy or a bit of both.

Unfortunately I havent adjusted towards economy yet

unfortunatly i live in N.Ireland

[ECA]

thats alright it can be posted to you, like I say it is a piece of p1ss to fit and set up

Can U post a pic or 2?

[ECA]

Here you go - you basically have to remove one plug and plug the box in the put the original plug into the box and that is basically it I ran the cable round the box that houses the ECU as there is plenty of room in there and its nice and hidden away ( I took it out to take the piccy)
