He didn't say what he used to do it but it was literally just a chip he replaced and converted into a GSR base map.

- Wed Jun 12, 2013 2:40 am #332781 You aren't getting the power you should be because you are running a single can ecu in a dual cam car. I bought a whole other ecu for mine because I'm going to run my p28 on the big build I have in mindbut yes a chipped p28 to a p72 will be fine, even for a dd. You should notice a difference too once that gets done

- Wed Jun 12, 2013 2:46 am #332783 As omg as everything works you will see a difference. I literally just found out my vtec solenoid is bad so I'm not running at full strength because my ecu is in "a semi safe mode" because I have a cel. Let us know how it feels after the chip.

By Serge_99
- Wed Jun 12, 2013 2:52 am #332784 Sure will. I also have a cel code 6 water coolant
Sensor I replaced it try to reset it and still won't go away
Any ideas on what I can do or might it be cause of ecu?

- Wed Jun 12, 2013 3:37 am #332787 Have you tried to unplug the ecu? Could be a bad wire somewhere. Or a bad ground or something of that sort.

By Serge_99
- Wed Jun 12, 2013 3:42 am #332788 I did unplug ecu. I have a couple of grounds and don't really think that might be it.by bad wire what do u really mean?

- Wed Jun 12, 2013 4:07 am #332789 A wire could have torn from the plug. Mine did a on the same plug a few different times. I had to replace that plug 3 times now. lol. What do you mean a couple of grounds? Like they aren't grounded anywhere or what?

By Serge_99
- Wed Jun 12, 2013 4:12 am #332790 I have a ground wired to trans one by the starter and one to the top of the valve cover. And I'll check my wires tomorrow hopefully I find the problem
