NICO ECU

[mattd1979]

I have a friend of the family that recently bought my mom's 91 Q with TCS. after seeing my car and had seen the set-up that I have with my ECU, he wants to buy one. I know that from what I heard that since Robert Bowen stopped doing the upgrades on the ECUs, that no one has been able to re-create the multi switch mod. That's what I have on mine. I have 3 power levels and a valet mode.

Is there anybody still doing the modded ECUs?

He did already buy a so-called performance chip that connects between the o2 sensor and ECU which of course requires 2 of the chips and he also bought what looks like a potentiometer called "Surge" on it that connects between the intake temp sensor and the ECU. Here is a link to the website.

There is a .PDF of the installation of the potentiometer that connects between the intake temp sensor and the ECU.

The next link is for the o2 sensor chips called "Surge" also.

Has anybody tried these? I think they are shady myself.

If your friend is buying those chips thinking they do what they clame to do, then I have bridge in San Francisco to sell him...

I am kind of curious to crack one of those O2 sensor ones open to see what's inside that "manipulates the signal every microsecond". I seriously doubt it's an active component. To me, it looks like it's probably a small metal canister filled with pure snake oil and that's why it's so expensive.

Oh, and an interesting thing to note on the O2 sensor one... one section of the page says it has a lifetime warranty; further down it says it has a 10 year warranty.

As far as the potentiometer one goes, I wouldn't trust that one either.

You need to get ahold of "QSIGUY", Shane. He did my ECU. I don't have multi mode, but race mode or daily driver, it's kickass. I definately notice the difference, so do the cars I beat, most recently a MB AMG S55.

I'm also looking for someone who can make or sell nico Ecu's. If you find anything out please let me know.

Add one more to the list of interested members. I'd like to have valet mode for the times when I'm not the driver.. :-)

I'm bumping this back to the top of the first page. Still interested. I sent QSIGUY a pm but have yet to here back from him.

I also noticed that there is another topic with the same post title. If I could change the title of my topic I would.

Count me in!

Wes is the NICO ECU guy, but he's kind of out of the loop at the moment. Maybe he'll do a run when he gets settled in to his new job.
