Bob,
Sully doesn't have a stock ECU. He actually has my "old" ECU.
I'm upgrading a bit more this spring (larger IC, larger injectors, custom software) so Sully can make more use of it than me.
Actually tested top speed of my Aero this past Sunday on a nice empty stretch of freeway. Long straight...
Mods on the car as it stands now:
- 3" JT from turbo
- 3" in-/outlet cat from Random Technology
- modified airbox
- K&N drop-in airfilter
- Removed heat plate in intake (only present on some cars -96 and -97 M.Y)
Stock ECU, but slightly higher boost than cars w/o heatplate, i.e 0.82 bar @ 5500 rpm vs. 0.69 bar @ 5500 rpm on non-heat plate cars.
Result? Top speed @ 5700 rpm on speedo = 159-163 mph. True speed...
Speedo was exactly midway between 155-mark and the "reset button".
And AT LEAST 50 hp more to come...
/ Karl
