1G Tuning

[Pat026]

So recently picked up a 1g talon, now had mods done to it and in new at this. It currently has an idle surge and valve ticking. I wanted a protect car, mods include a 16g turbo, a walboro 255, for, a gm maaft with translator a wideband 02, a safc 2. I believe it currently bringing at 15 lbs of boost. Now, I just bought this car and fairly new to tuning. The guy who originally ownednit blew the ecu, and installed a new one. He said it ran fine till he installed the new one. The idle surge is bad the ticking is relatively bad and the backfires are too. The safc is all zeroed out, it has the stock 450cc. My question is does need to be tuned or use a different ecu?

Could be one or the other or both. The ecu for a NA, auto, and manual are all different. Is your car auto or manual? Autos use 390cc injectors stock and manual use 450cc stock injectors.

I have a manual. Is there a way to tell? I don't want to blow through more money then I have too. The v3 alone is like 600$

There are some numbers on the ecu that correspond with auto vs manual but if you are going to go with ecmlink (highly recommended) then it doesn't matter as you can change injector sizes and so on.

So if I used the ecu link it wouldnt matter I could use the current ecu and give it a tune to correspond with the car and its mods?

 

[lasershark]

That is correct, they can also convert non-eprom ecu's. If for some reason you have a NA ecu this might not hold true however.
