Random Little Question Thread

The mechanical fans went away mid year 04, cars without mechanical fans have a different ecu which includes wideband O2 sensors. There is also a difference in the automatic transmissions, early cars will down shift in manual mode and later cars will stay in the selected gear. I'm sure there are subtle differences in the factory tune, imo they drive differently.

Yes, the fan is belt driven. Look to see if you have one, if not you have late 04 car with wideband, coolest thing about that is you can tune by data logging.

What's up guys. This summer, I am looking to add an exhaust, high flow cats and a CAI. My question is do I need to "tune" my ecu? I did a little research and found that you can get an Osiris or Cobb AP tune. But those are like 600-700 dollars and I feel like that would only be necessary if I get into serious modification. It has also come to my understanding that you can reset your ecu and it will "learn" and adapt to the changes and hopefully give me more power. Is this true? Would it be possible for me to download a program specific to our vehicle, buy the cable that connects to the ecu and do something?

Just FYI you DON'T have to go on a dyno to get tuned, its very easy and a lot more affordable to do it remotely with the uprev cable and a datalogs back and forth with a tuner, but you don't get a pretty sheet to post up when you do that
Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any specific questions about how it works
