Question for all you forced induction guys and gals....... Chipped ECU ???

[Mark_H 0]

Hi,

I currently have my ZR1 supercharger on ebay and I'm getting loads of question about if it has an ECU and will it be included in the sale. I must admit I'm not 100% sure. I just wondered if anything could enlighten me as to the probability of my ECU being chipped. The car is an OBD II car on a P reg.

I have a receipt from Stealth for a remap but that's about it.

Can I check with stripping anything apart ??

Thanks in advance.

Mark

Waste of time, they're better of getting their car mapped once fitted to get te setup at it's best specifically to their car

Stealth solder a blank EPROM onto the ECU then programme it specifically to that car.

Excellent thanks.....I must admit I thought that it would need to be mapped to their car but was not sure.

Thanks

i agree, fit charger then go get it mapped is the norm.

Or if they want your chipped ECU (and a stealth map is a good selling point), make sure you tell them it's OBD2 only and you could swap their standard ECU for your chipped one, so long as the model is exactly the same.

That's a good idea aswell. Are they any issues with immobilisers ?? or coded keys ?

When I had a ZR2 supercharger on my obd2, I picked up the phone and got a chip from these guys http://www.ruf-kompressoren.com/wb/pages/en/shop/kits.php They are the company that took over Z-Engineering, if im not mistaken. A little bad english over the phone, but when they replied on a email with my ECU number" 021 901 258" they replied and charged me around 100 pounds:)

Car was running perfect. I still have the chip.

Not sure if ZR2 chip will work on a ZR1 charger. But I cant see why not.
