flyby Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Will some one explain what is a "piggy back ECU" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraHuman Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 It's a fueling ECU that attaches to your stock ECU via a wireing loom.Controls bigger injectors etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Two types of ecu you can get. A stand alone, which replaces the stock ecu, or a Piggy back, which alters the signals going to the stock ecu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Fish Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 or a Piggy back, which alters the signals going to the stock ecu more commonly known as a signal fudger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyer864 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 So could this help an n/a , performance wise ! with cams , larger injectors and a remap , but with very little gains i expect & not cost effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Under the definition of a piggyback you could class S-AFC, EMB, EMU, HKS f-con's.... So yes some those would work on an na (Very wide answer ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 So could this help an n/a , performance wise ! with cams , larger injectors and a remap , but with very little gains i expect & not cost effective. The short answer is no, it would not "help" Larger injectors are pointless on an NA BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you will need either a piggyback ECU or standalone ECU when converting to a single. Which one to choose is a whole other discussion!

Not sure what you mean there, but one very good bit of advice which is often quoted here is: "Choose your mapper, then your ECU". Best of luck with your project and don't be afraid to ask questions here, there's a wealth of knowledge available to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
