Mk4Gaz Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 After a bit of advice please guys. I've almost acquired all the parts I need to run bpu on my j spec tt. However, whilst running cables for my amp, I found that the stock ecu has been replaced with a mines one, which was quite a nice find! I'm familiar with them in the world of mr2's, and am right in thinking I won't need a fuel cut defencer as the fuel cut is effectively disabled/raised by the ecu? Also, does anyone have any experience with how good the maps are on these versus a stock ecu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 You won't need an fcd on the mines mate that's correct. It's a locked map as far as I'm aware and makes the car more responsive etc and also in some cases raises the rev limit. I have one in my car but haven't noticed a raised rev limit. Nice find though.

Mk4Gaz Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Thanks tony, that's confirmed my thoughts On the mr2 turbo, they: Disable/raise fuel cut Raise rev limit More aggressive timing and fuelling Raised boost fuelling maps Allow for exhaust, induction, ic etc I thought they'd do much the same on the supras - happy days!

tony tt Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 More or less the same but you wouldn't necessarily need a mines for raised boost, fuelling and intercoller as the stock ecu is up for that at bpu level. The stock ecu just needs a reboot to relearn that the cats are removed etc. a few hard pulls after bpu and it should be fine. If you click bpu (should be highlighted in blue) it will open a link to reveal all mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Thanks again tony, much appreciated buddy. I've looked through the bpu link a couple of times now, and it still confuses me! I'll get it, just need to rewire my brain to supras! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Just a word of caution, although most MiNES have the generic features, they can be mapped to a customers specific needs, its always worth emailing MiNES with the serial number and see whats been done. Other than that, with more aggressive timing its should be better than normal BPU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk4Gaz Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Ive heard that before too, but I dont think I've ever actually heard of anyone who heard back after contacting them Much the same goes for the sard analyse, and blitz access ecus. I have no evidence here, but the chap I bought the car off said mine was dynoed at 362bhp with just a 2nd decat, exhaust and induction kit. How true that is, I don't know, and I don't even think he was aware of the ecu! I'm not after chasing numbers, been there and been broken hearted many times, but after bpu I will probably chuck it on the rollers to see how it performs, and also to see if the mines does in fact make a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I emailed them the other month about mine, they replied the next day with all the information what's been done to it. You need to send them an actuall picture of the ecu and the serial number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
