Ecu/remap question

Danni22 · Post by **Danni22** » Sun Nov 04, 2012 12:19 pm

Right Iv currently got a 5th gen auto that Iv converted to a manual and put into a vw polo,

I'm getting a p28 ecu and having it socketed with a obd conversion

my question is when I get the base map/chip and I go to get it tuned is it a case of them pluging it into a OBD port? If so dose anyone have a picture of one so I can find it and put it in a proper place
Thanks

not sure how they would do it with a chipped p28, Whether they would plug a link into the chip and run through it and then burn you a chip or just rewrite the chip in situ.
I am sure someone will be along soon to explain

Probably one for @Nucleustylzlude to give a definative answer.

knock sensor doesn't do nowt when in vtec anyhow.

Your best bet is a hondata s300, that's what I run an a lot of tuners recommend. You can get a boomslang conversion harness (cheapest option with decent quality again what I use). CPL racing will do a socketing service for the hondata s300 for £70 which is also tested afterwards and will also sell the s300 at then standard market price circa £370.

They will also to the auto manual convo on the ECU. As for tuning the chip, you need a usb cable and laptop. Happy days

if your not using hondata etc. and using one of the free programs available the chip is taken out of the ecu new map loaded onto it with a eprom burner then chip put back in.

if going hondata etc then a cable will come supplied to pkug into the ecu
