My ECU was disconnected for about 24-36 hours for a meth injection install. My hole in the hood and the meth install aside as I left the shop the first thing I noticed was my torque seemed to come back just like it was after my four APR Stage II flashes. My thought would be some how something had reset? Of course I could be crazy? ;D
Troll status achieved.
Did you happen to be running the Meth at this time?
I’d bet you $100 the torque NEVER went away, you just become “immune” to that feeling. Basically it never feels as good as the first time… ever again :o
Anything is possible, that’s why I’m asking but I think you are wrong. Thanks…the troll, what ever that means? More grief I guess.
you just missed your car.
Could be, I was stuck in a four cylinder Chevy rental for a couple of days.
You didn’t answer my question…but you wanted to point out that you think “I’m wrong”…lol
WERE YOU RUNNING METH when you made this assumption that your toque miraculously reappeared?
My apologies. The Aquamist system has an illuminated bar graph in it’s gauge. It lights up when you start shooting. I don’t start injecting until about 4000 RPM. No where near that yesterday when I felt the torque. Do you think it was my new inlet? ;D
This is exactly what happened. Whe. You clear the codes in the ecu it starts the adaptive prosses all over again. This is why you will see all your fuel trim stuff get changed.
Now if you unplugged the ecu for a long time it will do more of a hard reset taking out any small information that wouldn’t normally be reset by clearing the codes. As the ecu is going through some of the readaptive stages if you have good conditions you should get good results. The new new ecu stuff I would assume is more complicated then the older ecus. The older ecus went through a fuel quality test. The results of that would place you in a certain ignition map. This might have something to do with what happened.
Having wm injection I would assume will also help the car make better power if the iat was too high and there is the small but still impactfull addition of methonal. Methonal will help provide more octane and thuss should help impact positively on your overall timing. Well timing when the wm injection is running.
BINGO! Thanks much. Saw 16 psi boost and 16 degrees advance, for the very first time yesterday, 87 F. Regardless, I still think the new ECU’s are some how dumbing down the tunes?
I only know what I have seen and what I have been told and shown. Lucky for me I have been shown from what I would say is one of the best.
I know that in the me9 and me7 you can see more aggressive results while the ecu is adapting. Also if you have a exhaust that is too small the ecu will limit power per the motors ability to make power. I’m the jhm tunes you can see the ecu getting more and more adjustments. Then after a while the ecu settles. If your jhm tuned and you add a part you can reset the ecu and watch it adapt to the new parts.
There is a possibility of your new style ecus shifting to a more tame section of the ecu once it gets settled. This can explain why your timing is so far behind the older ecus. Even tho you have the same motors same parts.
Drove it again today. Feels exceptionally well. So before I go strip next time will just disconnect the ECU again? How do I do it?
Take some logs of the car so you can define exceptionally well in the forum of technical data. You want to be able to make the case for when the cars running good and when it’s not. It’s too early to tell you if resetting the ecu is the magic bullet.
Yeah feel doesn’t mean much. Log it. Share it. Understand it.
P. S. Arin is screenshotting your posts right about now…
Congratulations. It’s fantastic to hear the car is running strong. I think you can reset the ecu without disconnecting the battery. From what I understand you can just clear the codes in vag com? I don’t know if that’ll work on your ecu but it’s something to note.
