2gb Vs. 2ga?

[regulator213]

What is the difference between the 2GA and 2GB?

 

[Project2G]

2GA: 95,96 (Front Bumper, Rear Bumper, Fog Lights, Reverse Lights, Side Skirts *95 Turbo Came With EProm ECU*)

2GB: 97-99 (Front Bumper, Rear Bumper, Fog Lights, Reverse Lights, Side Skirts *Spoiler Depending On Model*)

The 98/99 ecu is flashable with a supporting cable (Openport 2.0) and EcuFlash.

All 2g Talons have the same headlights (2ga style).

and don't forget the very minor changes in the engine compartment like throttle body vacuum ports etc.... and different interior color, black with gray on 98/99 models

regular thrust bearing vs split thrust bearing.

CAS location (inverted signal)

trans/x-fer case ratio

Chance of getting an EPROM ECU

Here's one, nice vs not looking nice. I'm a 2gb guy, then second by the 2ga. Their both winners in my book.

Well i like to mixed and match my 2gx... 2gb front bumer, 2ga talon twisties, 2ga eclipse rear, 2ga spoiler, 2gb black interior....

regarding the transfer case what would those ratios be for the diff years

 

[regulator213]

wow, thanks for the respones guys. I have heard a lot about eprom ecu's what is so great about them?

 

[dSmgs-T]

e-proms allow you to use DSMlink

 

[regulator213]

thats tight, can you just swap out for an eprom ecu? Or what do i need to install one?

Or, you could just use EcuFlash and an Openport 2.0 cable and program the one that's already installed in your car. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of DSMLink (yet) but will keep you happy for quite some time. If you out grow the flashing of the stock ECU, you'd be wanting to run a standalone.

Oh, and it's cheaper. ~$250 for the cable +software

 

[regulator213]

thats not too bad...im guessing thats what you did?

The 97 ecu isn't flashable. I'm actually running one out of an Evo 8, but it's the same principal. I did my swap right around the time 98/99 flashing first became possible.

 

[regulator213]

i guess it depends on what 97 ecu your using... the late 97 ecu's are flashable (more specifically ecu's from july of 97 on) from what i hear a way of telling is if the case of the ecu is plastic or metal.

Late 97 build dates are usually 98 model year cars.
I have an April 97.

ahh i see, well then i guess its still a 98 then. So when i hear people say what "ROM" are you using? Is that referring to Read Only Memory? or is that something else? I see it all over the OP 2.0 cable threads.

It's the hexadecimal image that is flashed onto the ecu, onto the rom, but people just call that image the rom.
