99Auto ecu to 95man ecu. What should I expect?

[Kdouglas89]

I will be putting in a 95 manual ecu into my 99gsx auto. I know I have to swap the plugs around, but what else major should I expect? Will there be any major difference?

Thanks!

P.S. Swapped for future dsmlink during tax time

Anyone?

It'll run exactly the same. No difference at all.

Yup as long you swap plugs you'll be fine

I heard I will be able to brake boost now. True that the manual ECU will now allow me to do this?

Flip that around.You WONT be able to brake boost.Only a manual ecu alows that.

Edit : I can't brake boost now with AT ecu, so I will be able to when I install manual ECU.

Thanks!

That's misleading because it doesn't matter if the Ecu came from a manual or auto turbo dsm because whena car is auto, the transmission is controlled by the tcu not the ecu.

It's actually true. The A/T ecu mapping has differences that prevent brake boosting. A manual ecu doesn't have the same mapping constraints. It has nothing to do with the TCU. It's ignition-timing and fuel mapping.

I've got lots more cool ecu stuff, but as long as I can't post outside the noob forum...can't post it .
