Chiptorque chip advice, using auto chip in manual...

[Felony]

I have a chiptorque chip thats meant for a ea 3.9 mpi auto 3 speed, now i have a ea with a 5 speed so i have a 3.9 manual computer, will the chip work in the manual computer even tho its meant for a auto? does the computer just learn? I know it plugs str8 in but i dont know if it will work? will i do any damage trying it?
Thanks lads

I put the chip in, theres a clicking sound when the ignition is on, and the car just cranks and wont start, took the chip out and it was back to running fine....

dont think it will work then!

without being sent back to chiptorque for a re-flash its no good to you;

The 3 and 5 speed ECU's are soooo close. Just use the 3speed ecu+chip in your 5speed.

ohhhh interesting

[Walkinshaw]

Niko, it will work in an EL, however, no trip computer, I don’t think your dash will work, BBM wont switch, thermo’s wont work, ignition timing map wont change, you wont have a knock sensor etc etc etc

[niko]

nah, just in regards to ea-ed i had an el auto ecu in an ed 5speed, gains were i had rev limiter,and it ran pretty good with a wade 112or 114 i forget.

then i tried ea 3speed one in it, and that also felt the same

i have a HP4 chiptorque, and ive heard that they can be re-mapped. is this correct? if so, where can it be done?

[vegabass]

send it back to chiptorque to get a new program, I use the office on the goldcoast.....as i live there

[Mr_4.0]

is there no office in victoria? i havent actually had a look, but whats involved in actually taking the chip back out agian to send it off?

[vegabass]

It actually says on it chiptorque, gold coast, lol, i found a place in dandy, amberly automotive that is apparently the chiptorque distributor for melbourne...
Goin to ring them today,

Amberly autos reckon it will cost $200 to get it done, and they dont even do it they will send it to gold coast office anyways... and if you do anymore mods after you get it done they reckon you have to reprogram again!!!
Cheers

[Mr_4.0]

yer, thats why i wanted to know where to get it done. coz i want a bigger cam agian, and i have changed my intake a hell of a lot. why can it not be tuned on a dyno like most chips can?

[Felony]

I have no idea, i havent been able to find out much unless someone has some info for us????

Well a few of the guys on here and fordmods have told me to put in the auto ecu with the chip as thats what its programmed for currently, now the question i have is will it still work? doesnt the neutral switch have to be played with to get a auto ecu running in a manual? cause if it does i wont bother if it the auto ecu will work just by plugging it in then i will give it a go,
Any thoughts?

They told me to not alter the loom. so everything is run from the chip....thermos and all!
