ok i know the topic has been talked about alot, but could someone tell me what tools you need to take it out. Where its located, and anything else that you need to know to take it out. Ii wonder because i called a local junk yard here, and they sell ecus for 25 dollars. thanks

explained better in there... but its under the dash and its supposed to be a PITA to take out. look through the link

 

Simple hand tools, joints than bend backwards, and a lack of any bones in your body might be a big help... I would also consider a blanket or something you can lay onthe floor of the car so you go not get beat up with stuff in the carpet.

 

I just unpluged the stock one and ziptied the 1.8 ecu under the stearing colem incase I need to plug the other one back in its still there

 

well i just picked up my new 1.8 ecu for 20 dollars. love crazy rays

anyways you need...
wire cutters for zip ties
10,and 12 socket with extentions

one question for the experts...
my ecm says
9 030 930 022f
barcode!!!!!!!!!
hyundai symbol 39150-23920
license bosch 7191

 

I just put mine in and I am not sure if there is any change from my 2.0 ecu.

I also put my Fidanza adjustable cam gear in today so I cant tell where the gain is coming from. I put the gear in first, then a couple hours later the ecu. The gear with +8 degrees gave me a nice gain. I can't really notice a difference in power with the ecu swap.

I don't know, seems smoother.....

 

well did you finish the swap man? probally not as noticible in a auto.
i got mine off a 1.8 non rev a, but the part numbers don't match.

 

Not done with the "parts gathering" part of the swap. So far I have, Fidanza flywheel, valeo clutch, manual starter, short shifter, transmission.

Back on topic, I am planning on doing some gtech runs with the 2.0 and 1.8 ecus to see if there is any difference, probably not enough to show a gain in the 1/4 mile.

What part # did you get?

 

Yup it's from Tibs in production UP TO 8/16/1997 - 1.8L's
And Elantras between 07/05/1996 to 8/16/1997

What you DON'T want is a 39110-23900 smile.gif Older style 1.8's

 

My part # is 39110 - 23940 From a 98 Elantra
