Title: Cheap/Questionable 08-09 ECU for reverse engineering
Post by: TechSmurf on September 01, 2016, 03:56:30 PM
Coming from the very open GM ECU hacking communities, I'm shocked and appalled at the state of DIY ecu hacking for the Connie. Obviously it's been done, but everyone appears too interested in making money to share info about it (hooray capitalism!). I intend to improve the situation, but given how sparse the info currently is I'm just not willing to pull my known-good ecu off my bike to tinker with. So if you've got a spare laying around that "probably works", I'd be interested. Harness bits for it would be awesome too, but I don't expect those to be as easy to find.

P.S. I've been down this road before, but I'm not a god in this area, so I can't promise results in the end. Don't get your hopes too high. :)

Welcome to the forum. Ebay might be your friend as these ECUs seem fairly bulletproof. Looking forward to your experiments.

Why would one 'hack' an ecu other than for performance enhancements?  Are you talking about something other than that?

The end goal is a publically documented method to gain read/write access to the ecu, generally for performance enhancement.

EDIT: But seriously, this is just a wanted ad for a cheap questionable ECU, not a tech thread... that'll come later :)

Best of luck on that free distribution thing.....hahahahahahahah

Might want to invest in the Kawasaki KDS3 software, and system.... for starters.... and it ain't free...



This is gonna be a good thread, I can just se it now...... :popcorn: :stirpot: :1DeadBanana :popcorn: :banghead: :cool:

Best of luck

People say I have a weird sense of humor, but this just came to mind....

Spaz tossed me the factory ecu from his turbo zx10r, so I think I should be good to go. Thanks anyway.
