Can you please provide insight as to the benefits of your TCU?

I'm not particularly thrilled w/ the 'manual' mode on the S600 box, def needs improvement. I do like the factory's S setting, for the most part the programming is pretty good, just needs to downshift on its own sooner.

I don't want it all lurchy and ruin it tho either...

Just curious, thanks in advance!

The best way we have heard it described by customers is "its how the car should have come stock"

the shifts are faster, the redline bumped, a lot less lag etc.

I am very interested in the TCU. How would I go about to do this? One of the local E55 guy in my area praised ec's tcu a lot so I'm thinking about doing it as well. Currently only got a 180 pulley and tune from OE.

The TCU tune rocks! Adds a true manual mode so it doesn't autoshift on you in M mode close to redline, and also makes the car shift a lot faster.

Just make the purchase online on friday, and you would need to send the tcu into the shop in houston at your convenience. I would also suggest sending the ecu to have the torque limitors removed. Your tune would be unchanged from O E.

These ECU / TCU tunes are simply amazing. I have no other words to describe it. Everyone with a V12TT needs to get on this, you will be amazed with results and sad that you haven't done it earlier. You will have a new car after these upgrades and you will be just as thrilled about it as you were the first day you got the car. The pricing is killer too, so there are no excuses for anyone not to do this. Just buy it and thank Eurocharged later.

Sgt. Schultz

Oh shart... there goes the neighborhood.

Just ordered my ECU / TCU - I've had the car a week lol'z...

Goddamn you Bruce 8-)

And Chris you are a veryvery baaad influence, yabastid!

It imulsifies the 275 Pilot's as it is - and 245 snows go on this week.

Brilliant! 8-/

I'm... notthatsmahhht....

Big P,
It's about time you got on the board.....your car is going to be scary fast.
We really need to do a drive and meet for lunch before the snow gets here.....
Let's go Bruce......Time to catch up with your snobby Brabus S600.

Sgt. Schultz

Alrighty... please indulge my ignoramus here - I am teh suxor @ searching apparently.

Where are the ECU / TCU located? I tried searching 2 forums and just found a lot of gobblegook 8-/.

TIA!

Yanking them tonight w/ any luck... Jerry they're coming at you sooner than I expected which is great. Er, if I can find them 8-)...

sakodik

I had problems with this too but I sent out both of mine today

PM me for details on location/removal.

PS JAKE I hope you guys get my modules tomorrow afternoon, I sent it express!

sakodik

My car is in limp mode and stuck in 3rd gear after getting my TCU/ECU back from EC. Could it be a fried TCU by chance? any help or advice please!!

Vabene7

Honestly, the first thing you need to do is call Jerry directly. He will get it ironed out.

Sgt. Schultz

Dear lord - I literally just popped my ECU to them overnight earlier today... hopefully a quick simple resolution and an isolated incident 8-)

sakodik

lol I asked if you needed help locating and removing them in the previous post!

sakodik

Yeah I called EC and had Adam on the phone. ran a code P0778 for a solenoid. Had it fixed today car works great! Unfortunately, I don't feel the difference with the ECU/TCU from EC. Shifts are still pretty bad, it takes about 2-3 seconds still to shift when using paddle or the shifter knob. This was evident prior to sending my modules out as well. Not too impressive with this purchase yet.

A 600 with a tune is like a 55k with 10k worth of mods.

Sgt. Schultz

Sorry, I hadn't been on here since - thanks for that offer. I found the ECU pretty quickly, and nuke'd my TCU purchase when I learned I had to drop the fluid/pan to access 8-/.

Great to hear you sorted your code issue, tho bummer you're unimpressed.

LOf'nL @ Das Geld's reply - hilarity. Great vote of confidence, I'd say!

sooooocannotwait

USPS Express'd it for a whopping $39.95 for arrival noon tomorrow - including $2k insurance. Hoping EC will work w/ me on the return overnight shipping... website said a whopping >>>$150<<< for said service tho... um, no.

Emailed you guys on 'that' today, no reply 8-/...

Sgt. Schultz

Thanks for the call back Jerry, and for honoring the return shipping amount - very cool of you. Appreciate the time spent on the phone, very insightful. Can't wait to receive it tomorrow.

So the TCU resides in same box as ECU... I am teh suk 8-/. Hopefully I don't end up needing it, we'll see. Chris here is in NY/NJ (same elevation/temp as me) w/ just your ECU and I don't believe he's smacked the tq limiter but we'll see.

Thanks again... I'm giddy!

MRAMG1

NO, the correct answer is you WILL be gidding after you make your first pass on it

Just make sure you have a dry road, as she WILL be a beast

By the way, UNLESS you have them turn off the Torque limiters in the tranny, sometimes the tranny will go into limp mode when it sees TOO much torque.

Think 40 degree dry day here, as it just happened last Saturday to me on the way home form Summit racing.

This is NORMAL and occurs with ALL 600 tunes as I have checked this with some of the fastest guys on this board.

I like to think of it as a safety fuse. AKA Better to turn the car on and off again, rather than replacing a tranny or rear end, LOL

Sgt. Schultz

Thanks for the insight "MRAMG"... Jerry and I had exactly 'that' dialogue yesterday. I'm hoping for the best, and if not will send the TCU in subsequently.

Arrived this morning! Install tonight... of course... it's raining like HELL today / tomorrow. Same damn thing happened 100000yrs ago when I installed the Dinan chip to my e28 ///M5, I remember it vividly 8-/.

I'll find a way to have fun regardless muwhahahahaaaa...

Thanks again Jerry - you guys rock. Great to deal with, very expeditious, very highly acclaimed by close friends, etc...

Vabene7

SGT...
I have not hit the TQ limiter yet, but I am not totally sure if Jerry removed that limit with my ECU tune (which was recently upgraded for my higher flow exhaust).

I haven't done the TCU yet, but my Eurocharged S600 walks away from most cars on the road. It is insanely fast and smooth.

The question I get is always the same by onlookers after I have pulled in somewhere....."Is that car fast"?
And my reply is only 2 words......"Scary Fast". And it's the truth....

I couldn't be happier with my tune from Eurocharged.
Sick Car.

How does a guy tell if his car already has a tune?

I bought mine used and just don't know.
