sorry for all the thread spam but i can get an s4 ecu for superrr cheap what would i have to do to make it work with my s5?

 

It won't, that simple

 

all i needed to know thank you

 

Yes it's possible. Switch over to an S4 engine/harness

 

the S5 airbag sensors are tied into the engine harness as well, so you'd lose those even if you decided you're a masochist.

 

Have you seen his other threads? Don't encourage him or satch will go postal LOL

 

you're really trying to bag on me? im here for help and its the quickest way to get it. i search before i post if i dont find anything helpful i make a thread

 

Lets all be less thin skinned and in the process we'll get over it.

 

thank you satch im only here for help not to talk crap

 

You misunderstood my point.

 

oh you meant thin skinned to me...okay lol

 

Masochist?..no..he's from NORTH CAROLINA..

**woops..got that mixed up with Massachusetts...Sorry!.lol,,carry on..

 

i actually live in CT im in nc for a little bit :p

 

I am so sorry..
We will send you help as soon as possible to get you out of there..(hahhahahaa!)

 

NC is a nice area, Styx. Although no abundance of Benigan's, hockey, and maple syrup, so I can understand your disappointment.

 

you gotta work on your joke skillz too man, I wasn't bashin you

 

how many FC owners does it take to change a lightbulb?

 

About 50, because that the cumulative amount of loose change they can mangle up to BUY the lightbulb

 

it's 25 for the FC, 50 for the FB, get it right.

 

Who the hell knows?
They are too busy workin on the damn car to change a friggin lightbulb!

 

From the research I've done, a lot more components of the car are tied in to the S5 ECU, S4 has a lot more mechanical stuff, like the OMP for example. It's not going to work.

 

its a different connector, won't physically plug in

 

well i wouldn't say it is impossible, but the AFM is completely different, though someone who was determined could rewire an S5 to work on an S4 ECU, perhaps even use the S4 AFM with a few wiring changes there.

but then there's a matter of premixing.

but the S5 vert ecu isn't all that rare, not like the good ole N370 which has quickly turned gold plated.

i probably have one in the shop, but i don't give my parts away for next to nothing anymore, so there's that.

 

i just got a n351 for $40 ill be getting it within a few days ill post back if my problem is fixed. it all seems like its leading to the ecu and well it sat in water while the P/O showed me it ran and it idled for like 30 minutes. and i couldnt even pull any codes from it since the cel was on when it was running

 

you can pull codes while the CEL is illuminated, its kinda preferred since you know a code is stored at that time. when you turn the car off any stored codes are erased and the cycle starts over.

by "stored" i mean this is old technology and there is nothing really stored longer than 1 ignition key cycle.
