ecu hook up

[accordkid16]

well i was in my auto shop during last period and there was a f22a6(360000km) laying in the back corner and i got the ecu off of it..i want to hook it up to my a1 but idk what it does or if theres anything i should know before i go ahead and do it..any help?

It controls the butterfly valves in the intake spacer and also the A6 cam. You'll need to get an A6 intake manifold and cam to go along with that ecu or the performance of your engine could actually decrease.

ok so tmrw i will start ripping that stuff off and out of the a6..anything else i should grab?

[Brandoncb7]

You could get the header off of it. The A4 would be a better one but I think the A6 still flows better than the A1. This will help you out too.

There's the iab black box that is going to be on the bottom of the intake runners that you need so don't break that lol.

the a6 has the same manifold as the a1

Woops lol. Yeah find an A4 header. a6 runners along with the spacer, h23 plenum and throttle body. It's all in that link I just posted.

The a6 manifold is not the same as the a1. It's still cast, but better flowing.

I thought I had that right lol. I thought it was the A4, the A6, and then A1.
