what Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 To reset the ECU just unplug the positive side of the battery, let it sit for a minute, then plug it back in. And you DEFINITELY need to do this with a K&N air filter. It will make a difference. Also do this every time after you clean the air filter. Reset the ECU whenever you do ANY mods on your car. EDIT- I would also suggest doing some reading in these forums for a little while to learn some things about your car. Look around the forums, you can learn a lot.

CreoSTi Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 ^ do the above if you like having to re-enter your radio station presets. Otherwise, just drive the car and the ECU will adjust/adapt itself on its own (although I doubt a drop-in air filter will have any significant effect). If you drove the car hard, replaced the air filter to the K&N then drove it again, you might have just heatsoaked the intercooler which is why it felt slower. -Mike- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Slick, did you get that info on resetting the ecu? PM me if u need more details. I apologize on behalf of this crew, sometimes when life gets boring we like to have some fun. Don't take it personal. I got my cubes busted a few times when I first signed up. It's all in good fun.

It's the negative terminal you should disconnect, not the positive. You could be in for quite a shock otherwise Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexylegacy Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Sort of off topic, but in regards to the K&N, has anyone added the K&N drop-in filter and removed the front half of the air box, just screwing the K&N to the back half? It works great for me and I get to hear the turbo and the stock recirc BOV. Deosn't feel like any gains or losses in power though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
