so de ZM ecu & harness won't work??

[TurboDrive]

I don't think so. If you go back 10 or 15 pages you will see a discussion about this between mig and villain.

[villain]

ok here's what...zl ecu and zm ecu i personally dont know if they interchangeable ask maztune...i would have liked one to try and see if zm ecu is an upgrade( better parameters etc) to the zl....
if its the zl-ve ecu you talking about then no...i may start the car..(Guessing here) but it still have things to control like the svt and other stuff...manual gearbox will work on automatic ecu but you'll see the shift light on and you may get flat spots when you running...some days you running like you thief something and other days you want to know if something wrong but that could solve...variable resistor, send a signal to the ecu and fool it into thinking that your tranny there....
but again it have a lot of things that "we" experiment and try to see what results are gained...so i hope allu could experiment too and let us know what is what...
and we still looking for more info on just replacing the automatic ecu with the manual ecu

[sport20]

Looks like a rotary just died on the hiway next to trincity, a black 3rd gen pbr**** (fella had to push his car) and a silver 3rd gen was helping out.
Sorry I couldn't stop to help guys, I was on the clock.

[Safeq]

Hard luck missed the lime. Hope it was good
And that car looks good in the dirt

Getting into rallying K?

[Computerman]

ghostbusters, save yourself the $$ and trouble and just get a MZR 2.3 DISI-T and drop it in.


Too much blasted ricers (idiots) and farters (arses) on de road!! WTF iz wit de florking dubmarse, s#ithead, MC ricers flyby/baddrive crap!! Take your licks cnut and STFU!!

[FullStop]

the 2.3 DISI turbo is about over 10k, if i get it for about 10k i think i will take it, but not for the 323,,,put that bad boy in the 3; Villain just point out like 20 problems with that plan, well villain, i getting the head and the brain, but no harness..., yeah, i planned on putting the fic last so that i would be able to more easily troubleshoot the default setup, that way i would be able to remove any minor problems up front, and the port and polish , i read somewhere that it is desireable to have all ports flow at the same rate, someone told me that there wasnt anyone here with the right tools to measure and verify flow rates etc...but the 2.3 turbo soundin mighty tempting, will check to see availability locally, and i currently have a zm-de which is a 1.6,,,but thanks for the input and advice, i will decide by the end of the week which direction i want to take....(might just buy a Wii and play super smash brawl whole weekend)...and yeah, i getting real tired of all of the bad driving whole day, i feel i need to retire the 3 and buy a truck, lemme see who go bad drive me then

[Computerman]

ghostbusters, you have an apointment for this Thursday at SSS POS?

It's much simpler to do the 2.3 upgrade to the 3's that came with the 2.0. However, we are secretly trying to get permission to do the 2.3 conversion on a 1.6 this year.

[FullStop]

Na computerman that was last week thursday, but i didnt get the trans or the engine smut sorted out, they said that the tool gone back to japan to upgrade, said that the computer have to be updated for the trans issue, the suspension is pretty much the sam e right? cus from the manual i didnt see any difference in suspensions...

true that....i was asking somebody about that same thing about put that in a 323... the person said it's a different system and too much headache to even try it....but if you say it can be done thats a promising project....

i just make a run with one of maztune partners ...white sport 20 with the manual setup...he put 1 and half lengths on me....but whe nwe were talking he tell me the valve seals need changing and he have the same problem like me with the hold light...the car (his and mine ) holding back because of the cpu not seeing a signal...soon to get that sorted out...
i almost thought i had the sport 20... only to realise it not wukking... .....oh well i'll get there some day....

mig ...you and wagonrunner coulda race the night and see once and for all who faster...hahahahahaha....

[TurboDrive]

Right.... sooo.... I changed the plugs the engine had (BKR5E 11 which were the wrong ones) and put in the ZFR5F 11, changed the air filter, oil filter (K&N HP1010) and switched to Mobil 1 10w 30. I must say the car is certainly more responsive than it was before.

The engine only took 3 quarts of oil. Is this normal?

I wanna change them shoe lace looking plug wires. Allyuh fellas could help me source them?
