ECUTalk v1.3.5


http://www.ecutalk.com/ecutalk.aspx




Its also possible to stream TTP as a gauge, so you can figure out where you are on the map exactly.

The fuel/timing maps work off TTP/RPM

I forget what TTP stands for, but it is theoretical load calculated between the maf and tps readings.

Ive decided not to rock the XXRs, Im going to go for a wider rim like a 17x9 so that I can run wider tires. Also the offset on the XXRs are 40mm which is way too much for my wide fenders.

You can get a serial - usb converter at kmart, walmart, etc for like 5 or 7 bucks. Some dont work with the adapter, but most should.. if it doesnt work, return it and get another brand.

I got these, but I decided to go with the q45 fronts and sell my Z32 set. Kinda sad to part with them :(
250$ obo for all 4 or 125$ for the front, 125$ for the rear.

WOAH WAIT WHAT???? why would you swap to q45's when you already have a great set of calipers i have them and before i had q45s i wouldnt change back for nobodys money....i have a 1" z32 BMC and pedal feel is great and the stopping power is crazy. and to change pads is way faster

Well the only reason is because I dont want to spend 150 dollars on 4 lug rotors. The q45s are cheaper to work with. Any way of getting around the redrilling of the z32 rotors?

I have 5 lug s14s and my rotors fit perfectly with my calipers with no mods but i would recommend getting z32 rears so you can have your e brake and you need the z33 cables its a bit more change but trust me the upgrade is well worth it. i topped a hill doing a bit over 90 and seen a cop i had that car stopped fcuking fast hahaha

well IMO anything that has to do with suspension/hubs/brakes has to be ok they cant just fail do to the lack of how its made they have regulations they have to pass before they can be sold so i think they would work just fine. but keep in mind the the rear hubs HAVE to be z32 b/c the rear calipers dont work with the e brake cables. the z32 hubs have a built in drum brake setup to use the e brake.....as of now i dont have an e brake b/c when i bought the car the 5 lugs were already on the car and i found out they are s14 hubs. so needless to say im in search of z32 rear hubs

oh ok, good to know. But I think you can keep your s14 hubs but you just need the Z32 e-brake/splash shield setup. So you can pull the z32 hub out and just keep the ebrake assembly, might be cheaper to do that.

what are you talking about? if you know of any agency that is actively checking the quality of 5 lug hub conversions I'd really like to know.

It is subjective because stuff sold on eBay is not regulated by any agency. This is why China is all over this. They buy a part from a manufacturer, disect it, make their own product then sell it at half price. Granted some are decent while others are crap. As for the hubs, I heard the bearings go after awhile in which people press on OEM bearings after and are good to go.

Ya Im always hesitant about ebay suspension because one failure could mean death. But since there are a few people thatve used these hubs, Ill give it a shot once I can afford it.

So I drained my oil about 5 minutes ago and smelled so heavily of gasoline. Maybe because of the leaking fuel injector? Im not sure... BUT, it looked weird, is this how rotella 15-40 is supposed to look like, lol:
