ECU part number & Type-1 Board

Hello... after a water damage my ECU and board are dead... Managed to get a replacement ECU (part number 39F00), all is good. If I buy (from a friend) a Type-1 board that was originally destined for a 36F00, will it work with my ECU?

Thanks in advance :)

Re: CA18DET all of a sudden runs rich

Ok that was quick, we located the problem on cylinder #4 (the one against the firewall).
We presume an exhaust valve has been fried, the compression is 30 psi... :P

The good news is we found the problem, the bad news is I have lost all faith and I am about to give up.

Re: CA18DET all of a sudden runs rich

Hey guys, just finished checking for boost leaks. None whatsoever, pressurized the system up to 2 bars. Fuel flow, pressure and injectors are also checked, no problems there either.

Re: CA18DET all of a sudden runs rich

So I should be happy, since not seeing any messages whatsoever, means a trouble-code free ECU? That info relieved a lot of stress, since i had no idea if my "consult" actually worked.

Re: CA18DET all of a sudden runs rich

Nope, but it's the first thing i'm gonna do tomorrow morning. I'm gonna build myself a nice boost leak tester from PVC tubes and give it a go.

I'll report the findings. Thanks for the feedback.

CA18DET all of a sudden runs rich

Hey guys, I will try to be as descriptive as i can: The can ran great until yesterday. I returned from a 200km trip, let it cool and shut it down. My AFRs up to that point were at target. Today, i fired it up, let it warm up nicely as i always do, and took off. I immediately noticed a 'hesitation' o...

iOS port

Can it be done? We know the libraries are there and there are already apps for OBD connection. Just not sure how Type-1 boards with USB interface will connect to it.

Imagine NIStune on iPad...
