well I dont think it detremental but it never hurts.

for 5min and a 10mm you might as well.

 

i wouldnt think you would need to, with those mods, the ecu will learn and adjust

 

i would do it just to be on the safe side :thumbup:

 

+1

 

+1?! It's not like he installed a downpipe or 17,000cc inj. If you havn't done it now I wouldn't worry about it. From what I've read, resetting the ECU simply helps it learn faster; correct me if I'm wrong. You should be fine the way you are right now.

 

The ECU is still going to take 4 driving cycles to learn anyway, so no, it doesn't matter.

 

what do you mean 4 driving cycles?

 

Neither do anything but make noise, so dont worry about it.

 

A driving cycle on most cars is the car getting to complete operating temperature and then down again.

 

I thought that the driving cycle was the time it took for the ECU to run through it's checklist of sensors and whatnot and get back to the beginning.

Maybe that takes a similar amount of time as warming the car up.

BTW, you spelled escalator wrong in your signature. :thumbup:

 

I am pretty sure a driving cycle = turning car on, and off again. But don't think that turning off the car immediately after u turn it on counts. Go for a drive in between.....

 

right, you cant just turn the car on and off it has to reach temp to be considered a cycle.

 

A driving cycle is considered the time when you turn the ignition to the time you turn off you car. In order to be a cycle you must reach operating temp and remain there for a period of time before shutting off your engine. A basic example if your commute to or from work.
