Blitz Supercharger

[Mr Singh]

Is it true you have to send your ECU to Blitz jp for them to re-programme it?

Maybe not on the IS200, but possibly only for the Altezza?

[LennyLexus]

Am,

I think Tdi may be able to do this...

[jdmparts_guru]

Did you already order the ECU?

Unlike most European makes, you can easily swap your current Altezza ECU with another ECU.

[jdmparts_guru]

Also notice your question on the emanage system.

I would recommend you to get a system that has the config for the Blitz SC....

[Mr Singh]

jdm, i'll bear that in mind when i'm ready to order.

Every single ecu that we have seen that has been mapped in Japan has been completely useless in the UK.

Most standard ecu's for Japanese cars tend to run too rich, and every Japanese modified ecu that we have come across runs even richer. The ignition curves are generally set for 100 octane fuel or better, which of course we don't get here. There are also the atmospheric conditions to allow for that are obviously different.

The other issue is that any ecu that is pre-mapped wilways be a compromise (unless you are very lucky), as the odds are heavily stacked against the mapping being perfect for your car.

We had a guy come in recently with a Civic VTi that had paid £1100 for a Mugen (probably the best known Honda tuner) ecu. We ended up taking it off and doing a custom mapped ecu supplied, fitted and mapped for about half of that price, which worked a LOT better.

thats what i was saying Am on your other thread,, pre mapped ecu's aint much cop..there are so many other parameters that are individuel to your car that need to be addresed..

Thanks for that, makes sense. I didn't quite the reason in sending the ECU to jp when there someone like yourself to do it properly :D
