ECU UPGRADES

The Ash-SPEC ECU upgrade has become well known in the Z32 community for offering reliable power with factory drivability while maintaining factory safety features. Safely increase your Z's power and torque output with increased boost levels and a properly configured program for your car's modifications.

Upgrading of the ECU consists of removal of the OEM EPROM chip containing the ECUs program, installation of an EPROM socket for ease of chip replacement, and installation and testing of a new Ash-SPEC EPROM. 16-bit ECU upgrades (shown above) require a custom daughterboard to contain the new performance program.

Upgrades are available for both NA and TT models, 5speed or automatic, and vehicles will pass even the most stringent California emissions tests - guaranteed!

The Engine Control Unit (ECU) is a a small computer which monitors all engine sensors and controls all engine functions for fuel delivery, ignition timing, rev limiter, speed limiter, valve timing control and emissions control systems. This computer operates based on a set of values of which Nissan generated in their R&D process of the powerplant, however, they left a lot to be desired by the enthusiast. A new program catered to your vehicle's modifications is generated and installed. Programming which allows for safe running of higher boost levels while maintaining "safety mode" configurations allow you to improve performance in a reliable fashion.

The Ash-SPEC ECU upgrades were developed using the ZEMulator to finely tune operating engine parameters in both street and dyno conditions using a wideband O2 sensor setup. The utmost care has been taken in the development of these programs to ensure that the program you receive has been extensively tested to ensure performance, reliability, and safety. The same electronics and methods used to produce dynocharts like this were also used to develop these programs.

IMPORTANT SHIPPING INFORMATION!

When shipping your ECU, please remove the mounting bracket that holds the unit into the vehicle. This bracket makes for bulky packaging, which ends up costing more to ship. I would strongly recommend using USPS Express Shipping as well since they arrive to us earlier in the day than UPS or Fed-Ex. USPS has a cushion mailer pack, 7" X 10" that the ECU fits perfectly inside of - put your ECU in this packaging and then put this into the Express Flat-Rate mailer. USPS is also far more economical to use and will arrive to us overnight for only $20.

In most cases your ECU will be upgraded and shipped back to you within 24 hours of receipt.

The upgrade will be performed according to this information. For TwinTurbo owners, please state in the mod list if you need boost jets or not - they will be provided free of charge. Because there are differences in the highest octane of fuel available to people across the US, please select the octane of fuel you typically use as this does make a difference in how the programming needs to be tailored.
