hey, all you people with the Technosquare ECU mod. What kind of mileage are you getting? so far i have recorded 2 tanks. the 1st was a bit more than 17 mpg, the last tank was a bit over 15 mpg. wtf is this man!

Nutty my mpg has gone up to almost 25mpg on road trips know arond town I have not been keeping track but the real difference has been on the highway. Get the crawford plenum and you mpg will go up

 

I have the same thing as well. I was getting around 22-23 mpg before the TS ECU and now im at 18-19mpg. i hardly floor the car anymore cause i know i'll get around 16mpg or so. But on the other hand, i know that i'd have to sacrifice something for performance...and that would be gas milage.

I would love to get that Crawford plenum but i gotta clear up some finances first. I might as well get all the mods i want before i have the TS ECU reprogrammed.

Jerome,

i will take your grill off your hand for a 1 smack or just a thank you. hehehhee

On a serious note, while you were at TS. Did you happen to ask them if more mods were add to your car, it is crucial that you flash the ECU again?

hmm, in that case, why would a sedan owner want a ecu then, im getting no gains, but lower mileage...whats the deal here. that cant be right.

nutty,

not sure but i read on here, sorry couldn't remember the post. Stating that sedan gain more with TS ECU upgrade than the coupe.

My mileage has stayed about the same, between 17 and 20 mpg, and I always have it floored. None of that granny driving 25mpg stuff for me. :^ )

That was me. And I did notice slightly better mileage, and I floor the thing all the time! My most recent measure pure highway driving, average speed about 90mph, ~22 mpg. That is a veyr high speed keep in mind, the rpm was always at round 3500.

Hey Steven,
Lots of mods were already compatible with the TS ECU. It's just that to get it tuned properly, they would need to re-download the TS settings to the ECU. I know that major components like plenum modifications, cams, FI, etc...will need the tuning or else it wont run right. But for headers, intake, exhaust....the re-programming is not that necessary since the TS ECU will adapt the changes made and not detune itself. But it wont hurt to do so. I heard that they have the settings for the exhaust and intake now. But each time you go there, they charge for re-programming. They quoted me $125 each time i wanted to get it re-programmed...i think.

i actually did the dyno runs for the 6MT sedan for TS, and i got no gains. my A/F is perfect, but no gains. at least so minimal that you cant really see much from a chart. there is something weird with it that i cant seem to figure out, but the theory is that with an exhaust, the ECU will give stellar gains.

Lead_foot,

exactly, love taken the windows down just to hear her purredd!!!! The exhausts even sound better after i added the nismo intake. I don't know if just a fluke or what. After the nismo intake, i did gain about 1 to 1.5 mpg. Before i was getting 17 mpg. Now i am getting about 19 or more.

Gurgenpb and Jerome,

so TS ECU is worth it? keep in mind i have a 6mt coupe.

I think it is definitely worth it for serious modder. Aside from the performance gains, you get an ECU that no longer regresses when you add mods to your car, does not close the throttle plate before shifting (5ATs), and of course a perfect mixture setting all the way to teh new redline of 7100rpm.

Theperfomance gains will become apperant when you start adding mods. I am a strong advocate of addingthe plenum and getting the ecu written for it. AS you all knwo, that's what is making my car so darn fast!!!

GO for it.
Your choice

Steven,

I agree with Gurgen. But keep in mind that both our cars are 5AT. 5AT's apparently have a better response to the ECU mod. I think it's worth it if you are going to get more than just an intake and exhaust. Knowing you, with all your fancy gadgets in the car, LCD TV and all, you should have money for the performance stuff as well. But dont take my grill with the emblem. It was designed spcifically for my car and not yours [img]/w3timages/icons/laugh.gif[/img].
