Always seems a waste of time using original ecus. If it's an ecu engine as standard then all you usually need a is a aftermarket ecu wired up to it and a day on the dyno. Original ecu limits you to standard engine. Even putting different exhaust on will throw it out. Most modern ecu's really don't care about a different exhaust, they simply adapt. And many can get remapped to delete immo and other not needed features while releasing more power. If you have the ability to make the standard management work correctly i would always recommend that for a standard engine. That way you retain all the thousands of hours of standard mapping, for instance for cold starting. It will fire up and run perfect in heat and cold or even up a very high mountain.😉 If going for outright power and if other modifications are planned for the future a fully programmable ecu is the better choice. Also ecu's from before the late nineties are usually less capable or there is less support to get them mapped. Changing to aftermarket ecu is always better then. |

The plan I have is to buy a full donor either a panda or a 500. Probably from Around 2006 - 2012.
Then transplant as much as possible inc ecu, cat and oxy sensor.
I may use the ignition and immobiliser also.
I'll have to fabricate an exhaust but i will include the original back box.
I'm not looking for power gains just reliable driving.
Even in stock trim i'll be nearly double the factory spec.
The only hardware alterations will be a change of gearbox and i'll probably need to change the radiator set up.
