ecu swap, ok?

[jimmy2006]

I have a mk3 ibiza cupra t and wanting to get it revo'd, if i was to get an ecu off another ibiza exactly the same as mine (same ecu no's etc) that has the revo upgrade would it be a straight swap and would it work ok? or are there other things to consider?

 

[ibiza-cupra]

we would need to recode our ecu's via vag com etc

would have thought a swap would have been fine on a stage 1 revo, stage 2 you would require hardware modifications to take full advantage of the software

its a 5 min job, see the stickys at the top of the vagcom section about ecu swapping.

3 posts in a week about this.

Just got it done afew weeks back cost me £280 for the water pump and belt ect.... but thanks for the offer

4bar FPR, full system exhaust including race cat and DP, decent filtration, also FMIC and TIP would be ideal but not necessary

the list could be endless, depends how far you want to go

not sure that this map would be any good for a standard car then really.

 

[David_smith_909]

stage 1 can go on a standard car mate, its stage 2 you need the extra hardware for

stage 1 you will be seeing approx 195bhp, maybe more

 

[jimmy2006]

yeah, was just hoping to maybe save a few quid as there is one on ebay at the mo with the stage 2 software on it. oh well. anyone got a stage 1 revo'd ecu going?

 

[David_smith_909]

buy it then, it will still work, just not as well as with the hardware to compliment it, if you bought the hardware at a later date then happy days, when you fit the harware all will be good

 

[Ibiza Cupra]

So what would you expect a standard engine on REVO STAGE
2 to be running???

 

[jimmy2006]

so it would suffer from detination etc if everything wasnt there to compliment the map? ie no exhaust, filter, no decat/sports cat etc. ?

 

[David_smith_909]

it would suffer alot yes, better going with stage 1, buying your bits and bobs, fitting them and upgrading to stage 2

 

[David_smith_909]

2 to be running???

probably the same as stage 1

 

[David_smith_909]

speak to some one like revokev, or one of the other revo guys, he will fill you in on anything you need to know matey regarding revo

 

[jimmy2006]

think i will just go for the stage one generic software as it is something which needs to be right. cheers for the reply's
