I plan on swaping to a type s ecu but don't have one yet.

Should I run my base wire harness for now or already install the type s harness ?
I have both harness's.
Will I have a problem running either harness's with either ecu ?
And what the cheapest way for me to get a type s ecu in?
Can I just buy a ecu and have my key matched to it?
Or should I buy a whole matched setup?
Thanks,

 

You can run the base harness with either ecu without a problem. Also The cheapest way would probably be to have the ecu rekeyed to your key.

 

Sweet,
Any cls auto ecu ?
Can I walk in with both in hand ?
Do you know the cost ?

 

^^^ see if you can buy the JnR ECU and then plug it into your stock ECU and tune it....

this way you will be able to retain all the functions and you will be able to tune ur car....

 

Im pretty sure any auto cls ecu should work. Not quite sure on the cost through the dealer I sent mine to some one to have it done.

 

So I don't need the car with me right ?

 

Technically no but at the dealer you might. I would try to call and ask someone there.

 

I dont know everything there is to know about the J&R ecu, but it seems to me as though its an expensive piggy-back. Its great for the 3rd gen guys since theres not much on the market for you, especially since it retains drive by wire and canbus communication (because the stock ECU is still in place). But for the 2G guys, its expensive. We dont have canbus communications in our cars. We dont have drive by wire. We dont have widebands stock. An AEM EMS costs less then that and has the same, if not more functionality.

EDIT - I think calling it an expensive piggy-back is a bit harsh. But I do think its overkill for the 2G.

 

^^^ nah bro you were spot on.....

i didnt know about the 2G TL's....i just put it out there....thanks for clarifying

 

ive been talking with J&R the last few months about there ecu. if i dont get the results with the fic im going to get that ecu.

 

Good luck with it. If it works on the CL with the auto tranny then it would be great, albeit expensive, for you guys.

 

i dont plan on getting rid of the car anytime soon even if i get another car so it has to get tuned.

 

Im with you on that one.
