Good Morning,

Does a ECU/Chipped from a 86' 944 n/a that is put into a 84' n/a make a difference?

Thanks,

 

probably get you another 5-10 hp. compared to the 84 engine. make sure you use premium unleaded

 

any idea where the h.p. would be at? low end? mid-range? or top end? I not used to asking about P-Cars since I have always owned Audi's.

thanks.

 

mostly up high in the upper rpm range. by the way, is the engine an 86 engine? if it's the original 84, i was not aware that the 86 DME (ECU) would be compatible with an 84 engine.

 

the late dme requires the late AFM (I think?)

 

Looked at the past paperwork yesterday and 1 of the pages from a porsche mech. shop in seattle stated it has a 86' custom ECU w/chipped installed.

 

Ok :P Reading the other responses I thought we were just talking about a DME not a whole car.
Chips in n/as can make it feel different, won't really make much of a hp/tq increase - usually somewhere in the neighborhood of 5hp or so.

 

It is not nearly as fast as my chipped 5000 turbo quattro but the P-car is a very well balanced car. Just was not sure if that was a feasable thing cus in the Audi world I could not put a different ECU from a later model Audi and not sure what would the benifits would be with a 86' ecu put into a 84' 944 n/a w/chip installed.

thanks

 

I converted my first 944 (an '84) over using an '86 DME and AFM. Pretty much plug and play.

I ran that car with an Autothority chip and I did notice that the car perfromed better. However, I also learned that installing a test pipe (or running with a gutted CAT) steals some low end torque.
