[FRST mad]

Can you take an FRST ECU & put it in a 2i ???

Plus if its possible, does it make a difference in performance

In a word - NO

The map for every single car is different and ford have spent a lot on development to come up with a 'good' all round map for ur car and is set to be good around town, motorway, etc. Swapping a chip from a higher spec model wouldnt work efficiently, tho u may see a slight increase in bhp on some very rare cases in very similar specced engines, but for that tiny gain it will run like s**t most the time, and i dont know of anyone that has even done this without altering a thottle body and some other bits and bobs like cams as well.
The second thing is, in this case, they are 2 different forms of power. U have naturally aspirated and turbocharged, which works on a forced induction route. The engines are a lot different than at first it may seem. The maps for 2 'similar' engines like the cvh (one NA and one turbo'd) will be completely different.

You're best off buying a superchip of a custom mappable chip like a unichip if u want to change the factory ECU

Hope this helps

Yeah, it'll go in.




It just won't work
