Btw, I love bein' a young buck too but I know all too well that time goes by a little faster every day you get older so I decided the only way to stay young was to keep playing with the matchbox cars and toy tractors... Albeit they're a little faster and bigger. Favorite season starts soon talking about tractors. Time to start playing around in big sandbox again! Lol

Hey that was fun reading today's posts! Unfortunately ther is no way to re-virgin a girl, but you can do this to a MB ECU although this is a little known fact. I received my unlocked ECU today from Beckmann. I better get this right becuase three twists of the key and it will be locked again.
you can't even get an unlocked ECU from Mercedes either. you have to give them your VIN to order one and it comes with your Immo/Vin data already in it. I found a site where MB mechanics where sharing knowledge, so I posted what I was doing inlcuding the use of a unlocked ECU. Well MB must own the site becuase my post was deleted and I got banned.
I was worried I had gotten Beckman in trouble and called them. They said what they do is perfectly legal and saves people a ton of money over buying a new ECU. But seems to some sensitivity over this.
My idea and I have discussed with Rudy is that If an unlocked SRT ECU could be programmed to a n/a crossfire you now have an ECU that can read and deal with boost. Without an unlocked ECU, it would be impossible to get an SRT ECU to work on a n/a unless you tranfer all the modules, dash and ignition lock and keys. the other option is to use piggy back systems. I just think it would be easier to stick the Crossfire SRT ECU into the n/a and program it to the car using the STAR DAS. In DAS you would select by vehicle and NOT by VIN. It would be really easy if you had the Chrysler version of DAS since you cannot select Crossfire in DAS, but you can select SLK32 and communicate with the ECU. I allready did this by selecting SLK320, I was able to connect my Crossfire to DAS.

Well, the Auterra SPD is supposed to be in today. I completed the Rotrex install on the spyder in my garage and it is delivered. I'm still sick, but I did manage to pull the crossfire in, remove the coolant reservoir and check the clearance on the Rotrex intake. It isn't going to make it (I know it was wishful thinking but it is too tight without cutting metal) so that axes the easy way of building a single plane mount and putting the rotrex in line with the other pulleys. This weekend, I plan on mapping out which pulley I'm going to modify (basically double) and the plumbing layout.
I'll probably end up having to source a used pulley (for whichever one I target) so I can send it to my buddy. This way my car won't be down while he is using it to make a new dual unit. Therefore, I may get held up junk yard hopping
If I end up feeling up to it, I need to start with the LC-1 install, play with the SPD, and start wiring in the AEM, but I highly doubt it! I want to spend a lot of time on the NA maps and get that thing calibrated 100%. That said, I think everything will work out fine as far as time is concerned. I'll just have to time slice and work on my other projects in between test fits of parts on my car.
I'm sure that I'm going to go through several iterations of the Rotrex mount due to having to integrate a tensioner into the design.

How much work is in swaping a NA auto for a 6 spd or SRT auto?
whats the TQ rating on the 6 spd?
