Lurch Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Hello, I'm after buying a 500bhp+ supra auto and want to get it converted to manual. I've found Jezz that'll do that for me but He'll obviously change the ECU. My question is, will it be ok to drive a single turbo'd highly moddified supra on the standard ecu? Just for a while, until I got it remaped? Or even, does anyone know of a tuning shop near Jezz that'll do the remap for me? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMagic Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Don’t drive it, it will be lean as hell and break very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 O dear. What can I do then? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Buy an aftermarket ECU. If you are buying a single, then the cost of an ECU is but a drop in the ocean to the running costs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 its not highly modified if it has a stock ecu, its very badly modified (single terms) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) O I see. Well it would have an aftermarket ECU then. I just thought that they would have the standard ECU with a remap or piggyback. What ever Aftermarket ECU the auto supra's got can it be told that its now a manual?

Lurch Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 ahh I see. *to RobSheffield, I'm actually looking at your mates car (B'have). Thats what I mean can it be remapped to a manaul* Is there anyone near Jezz that can do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_have Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 ahh I see. *to RobSheffield, I'm actually looking at your mates car (B'have). Thats what I mean can it be remapped to a manaul* Is there anyone near Jezz that can do that? Someone called? Actually, it has a fully mapable E-manage Ultimate. It piggy backs the stock ecu for gearbox control, so no issues with a manual conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 Lol. So would I still need to change ecu's but the emanage will keep the Map? Sorry but I'm not sure when it comes to this stuff, newbie to this. It's best to ask... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_have Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Ian C fitted and mapped it using a fields harness, so I can't see a problem with just plugging it into a manual ecu. The map will stay in the E-manage and with the fields harness, its just plug and play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Perhaps a personal message to B'have may have been more sensible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 The car in question was just an example car. I'm still looking. But thats what I'm after a single turbo'd Auto with 500+bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flipper Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 (edited) ...single turbo 500bhp+ AUTO ? You obviously want it for straight line driving?...and then hail a taxi for the bends.... Hope you like spinning backwards and leaving it in garage when its damp... Edited July 5, 2008 by flipper (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
