Re: ECT - What Does It Do?
ECT- the button that can turn a mild sedan into a sporty sleeper (w/ a few other mods)
this button moves the shift points to higher rpms, but it varies on gas input and acceleration.
i drive a 96 avy XLS and recently adjusted my tranny to shift faster and harder this sucked w/ ect off b/c the trans would shift earlier and make the car fell slow and clunky.
i drive w/ it on all the time it really will give you a power advantage. this applie only to drivers who regularly drive in high rpm ranges and use their cars to full capacity.
when on this switch will allow the engine to redline under heavy load and will also allow the engine to downshift to achieve better acceleration(downshifts from say 3rd at 3000rpm to 2nd at 5000rpm)
as for fuel consumption this switch makes the car GUZZLE gas but then again i have a heavy foot and wont hesitate at laying the pedal to the floor at stoplights.
so
in short
ECT=more acceleration=more power= more gas= more engine wear
use it if you like that sporty feeling and the look on the guys face after you smoke his beamer
peace
