Need an ECU for your intake
just came accoss this
FYI:
Need an ECU, this is what you need, the vette ppl had use this for years. You need to tune it yourself .
Don't quote me but, I am 90% WR or Swift ECU use a unit similar to this. They just tune it for the GS so you don't have to do it. Can someone that have a ECU from Switf or WR confirm to me that on the wiring diagram, they use the MAF sensor wire on the ECU, if so, they use the same unit.
Look to the middle of the page, for MAF TRANSLATOR

If you want you can get this unit for a round $150 or less and tune it yourself.

"Do you need a MAF Translator? With aftermarket or ported MAF ends, or a modified air intake, the stock MAF sensor will give erroneous readings because it is made to work with the STOCK MAF ENDS and airbox. If you’ve done such mods, you are more than likely flowing more air than the sensor tells the PCM about, and a MAF Translator helps you out by altering the signal the MAF sensor sends to the PCM.
An indirect benefit of the MAF Trans is getting rid of KR… remember, what the MAF translator is really doing is telling the PCM that there is more air than it is "seeing". As a result, the PCM selects a different table that has less timing advance. The result of this reduced advance is reduced detonation, and as a result, reduced need for knock retard.........."
" you can't hack it, you work around it":eek:
