is it possible for waja 1.6m use 1.6a ecu?

[xerofighter]

self explainatory. anybody knows??

 

[WajaRS]

Yes..its possible..Its impossible for an auto to use a manual ecu but you can do it the other way round..you burned your ecu?

 

[sakuraguy]

YES, possible same as said by WajaRS .. Manual cant use Auto ECU, but why u taking risk spoiling a good stock car? ;) ... anything amazes u in auto ECU?

 

[xerofighter]

er...actually its because i have an auto ecu but my friends manual waja needs it. so i was wondering if can use or not. but the auto box in the waja is controled by the ecu right? so what becomes of it if its plugged into a manual?

 

[Yong_5290]

my manual running on auto ECU....same 1 lah...bought the halfcut auto and swap the
gearbox to manual 1...
auto gearbox got its own ecu...

well..mayb mine is the old tech...so dunno bout new 1...

 

[sakuraguy]

ha ha .. ok ok .. but i dunt think something will got burnt but the ecu will show some errors, because it cant detect the auto transmission. In manual cars, ECU dont relate gearbox with ECU, ECU just detects the engine rev instructions.

your car may become "kelam-kabut" .. why dont try swap with Mitsubishi Lancer Cedia or Lancer MX code CK2A ECU Manual Gearbox ECU's ?

 

[xerofighter]

erm..cuz i already have the auto ecu. so no need to look for others if its compatible. anyways, my question has been answered. thanks ppl!

 

[Yong_5290]

nope..actually for auto theres 2 ecu...1 is for the gearbox...the other is for the engine..

so if just use the engine 1 wont be a prob...

 

[xerofighter]

craps. now i have to ask another question. i have one is a black colored plastic covered box. that ecu is for the engine or the gear box??

 

[sakuraguy]

uh?.. ecu's are covered with blacks due to heat resistance :) .. have pic?

 

[xerofighter]

shitttttt.. i just gave back my friends bluetooth so i cant transfer files from my hp to pc. its basically covered in black with sockets at the front. there is mitsubishi sticher there and bar code wit the numbers MR507879. dunno if it means anything. ill try to get back my bluetooth and snap a photo. thanks again

edit: how to differentiate between the 2? any physical differences or number?

 

[sakuraguy]

your MR507879 is gearing ECU. Basically gearbox ECU if u have, it will be much more smaller size than Engine ECU :)

Below is one of the older version of Waja 1.8 ECU from SAGEM:

There are 2 ECUs in an auto car.

Engine ECU and Auto Gearbox ECU.

You may swap the engine ECU from a manual to auto but if you plan to use the AUto gearbox, you definately need the Auto gearbox ECU.

For example, alot of people change from AUto to Manual or Manual to auto, engine ECU is not swapped.
