    Hacking stock ecu?WTF

    Someone tried to tell me that someone hacked their stock ecu to compensate for the extra fuel for their k24. I have never even heard of this...WTF? I'm way sceptical...

    Isn't Kpro just that? A "hack" or different chip that allows you to change settings in the ECU?

    If he has truely hacked his ECU, maybe he'll share his "hack" with the rest of us.

    Yeah that sounds like B.S. I'm not sure how one would hack an ecu with out using kpro. Does his car now run 10's as well?

    its possible, it would just be a matter of a voltage increase.

    I'm pretty sure the ECU uses some sort of PWM to control the injector duration, not voltage. Using voltage for control would open up a host of potential problems during normal operation...

    Sounds like this guy is talking out of his ass! KPRO "cracks" open the ECU your tuner "hacks" into the ECU, that's all.

    Could do it the ghetto way and up fuel pressure. Won't make it run right, but youll have added fuel.

    His hack was probably nothing more than a AFC(or something similar) to keep the injectors open a bit longer. I would steer clear of any such mods

    I <3 pulse width modulation!


    as for the man who hacked his ecu. . . has he ever been abducted by aliens, or a pedobear. . . possibly tapped himself in the head with a hammer a few times?
