Here are some more information for Front Ecu:

German tuning atelier Hartge have made their tuning program for BMW X6 SUC (Sports Utility Coupe). Vehicle now can have some visual adds and also some new technical improvements for more driving fun.

"Hartge" developed "BMW X6" aerodynamic body kit is made of lightweight polyurethane plastic, which includes the original design front bumper with wire mesh air catching holes, decorative thresholds and rear bumper with diffuser. It has carbon casings for the side-mirrors too. Sporting shape concludes a 22-inch wheels and a set of sports springs that lowers the overall ride height by up to 30mm.

Initially, technical improvements will be made available to "BMW X6" variant "xDrive35d" for the three liter biturbo diesel engine. The engine have benefited from a bit of ECU (Electronic Control Unit) tuning. Its power has increased from the stock 286 hp up to 328 hp and the maximum torque - up from 428 lb-ft to 498 lb-ft, which is already available from two thousand revolutions per minute. Add to that it gets better fuel economy than stock and is actually lighter. Later the 3.0L diesel engine from the xDrive30d will get pumped up to 275hp (+40hp) and 441 lb-ft (+115 lb-ft).

Despite the mass of 4409 pounds it makes 0-60 in 6 seconds, which is a second better than stock. Since Hartge has disabled the factory set for maximum speed electronic limiter, the improved BMW X6 diesel will be able to reach the top speed of 159 MPH.

Full program by "Hartge" will cost you 38'000$. So maybe there will be ability to reduce the 38'000$ asking price and just supply the powertrain upgrades.

Traction Control vs. Electronic Stability Control Systems

Cars come with so many driver assistance systems these days it is hard to know which is which. In this article, we take a look at what traction control and electronic stability control systems are and how they differ.

The Lamborghini’s of the 1970s were beautiful cars. As you might imagine, they were also extremely fast. Despite their appearance, however, they were scary to drive. You could go unbelievably fast, but it felt like the car could take off in any direction at any time. It took a might brave or stupid person to drive one of the beasts very fast.

Modern car designers and engineers have focused on car control as a major issue. The good news is they’ve come up with some serious inventive systems to assist drivers. From anti-locking brake systems to cars that parallel park themselves, things have never been better. To systems that really help and are often confused are the traction control and electronic stability control system. Let’s take a look.

Traction control systems have been with us in one form or another for a long time. They really were heavily developed in Formula One open wheel racing where teams spend upwards of $400 million a year on extremely high tech cars. In fact, the systems were developed to such an extreme that cars hardly slowed down at all on the track. This resulted in a ban of all traction control systems, but the technology is standard on most cars sold to the public now.

A traction control system works by monitoring the spin rate of each wheel. This is done through the all conquering ECU [electronic computer unit] that controls the car. When a wheel starts to spin faster than the other three, the traction control system will slow it down by slightly triggering the brake on the wheel in question. This works to effectively stop slides or skids just before they become a major problem. Some traction control systems will also reduce the power being supplied to the wheel in question.

Most people mistakenly think a traction control system and electronic stability system are the same thing. They are not. The electronic stability control system [ESC] does not deal with wheel spin, but total car control. The system monitors the wheels, but also your steering wheel, the pitch of your car to one side or another and acceleration. If it determines the car is turning too much or too little, it will adjust the power to certain wheels and apply the brakes on other wheels to compensate. Let’s consider an example:

You are driving down a road in the rain. You come up on a left hand turn a bit fast. You turn and the back end of the car starts to spin around to your right. The ESC system automatically takes action. It will active the brake on the front right wheel and perhaps add a bit of power the left rear wheel if your car allows for it. This will effectively stop the back end of the car from continuing to swing around and save you from a wreck. Pretty amazing, eh?

If you are looking for safety in your car, you do not have to choose between traction control and electronic stability systems. Get both and throw in anti-locking brakes as well!

'05 1.8t into 92 Jetta?

What is involved with putting an '05 1.8t 5spd into a 92 jetta 1.8 automatic. I have access to this eng/trans combo with ecu and wires on a complete front subframe. Seems to me it should be a fairly straightforward swap anybody done this?

Well first off, you are going from auto to manual, this will create a bunch of hassle. You will need all new motor mounts fabricated, tranny mounts fabricated, new axles made, the ECU, wiring harness form the 1.8t, someway to adapt the drive by wire system because the 92 jettas had throttle cables, and the 1.8 is controlled by a sensor, the clutch pedal, the clutch master cylinder, the shift linkages, and misc other parts. For what it would cost, you could go buy a 2000-2001 jetta 1.8t cheaper than this would cost. If you want to get it done look to spend in the neighborhood of $10,000+. The mounts and axles would all have to be custom made.
