nathan Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I've done a turbo engine swap on my na xr6. I didn't have a turbo ecu at the time so I just tuned it with a manual boost tap. Is there any way I can swap all the adjusted maps ect over to a new turbo ecu so I don't have to start from scratch again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerTurbo Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 just do a compare and select the option to view bits that are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Load compare file (your na tuned file) 4. Start comparing & copying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brenden Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I have a customer that has dropped his fg off to me... his done exactly what Nathan has done but he sold the old ECU so now I'm stuck with a turbo ECU in this N/A ute and its got the wrong VIN and everything..... anyone got some insight on how I go around programming this turbo ECU to the car lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brenden Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I got a bit more info out of the customer because I noticed this ECU has the same VIN as the last ute I just tuned for him..... he has another turbo fg, he thought the ECU in that was dead so he replaced it, turns out the ECU was not the problem so he has 2 turbo ECUs with the same VIN and iv got one here that I gotta make work in this N/A turbo converted ute 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get onto Hootens Harnesses on FaceBook & get a patch loom to add the factory boost control. FYI, Hootens (Bill) is taking some time off but if you're lucky, he might still be at work & might just have a patch loom on the shelf. Update the PCM VIN to what the car is, if it's FG1, do step 2 of PATS programming...."Module initialisation" & it should be right to start & tune. Don't do step 1 as this will delete the keys. Not a problem if you have 2 keys but unnecessary. You may need to change strategies depending on if it's currently tuned for auto or manual to suit the setup. This may also include having a matching TCM calibration if ZF6 & an ABS variant change. IF it's FG2, you're going to need someone with IDS or FJDS to carry out PATS programming.

brenden Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 thanks for the reply bill, This ute has had the turbo ECU and loom installed, We have managed to get the old ORI N/A ECU off the bloke that purchased it so I can read it, I should be able to copy just the VIN over?, the turbo ECU is out of a ZF6 turbo FG mk1 and is going into a ZF6 auto FGmk1 N/A turbo ECU wrong VIN_Stock.tec NA ECU with correct VIN.tec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
