Vehicle-Specific Plug-and-Play ECU Guides

Find the Right ECU for Your Platform — Without Rewiring

Choosing the right ECU starts with the vehicle.

AMP Engine Management’s Vehicle-Specific Plug-and-Play ECU Guides are designed to help performance builders identify the correct standalone ECU for their exact platform — without wiring changes, adapter harnesses, or guesswork.

Each guide is written for a specific manufacturer and vehicle, ensuring the ECU connects directly to the factory harness and supports serious performance modifications with a clean, OEM-style installation.


Why Vehicle-Specific ECU Guides Matter

Not all “plug-and-play” ECUs are created equal.

Universal ECUs and adapter-based solutions often introduce unnecessary complexity, including:

Wiring changes and patch harnesses
Compatibility uncertainty across model years
Longer installation and troubleshooting time
Increased risk on modified or high-power builds

AMP’s vehicle-specific approach eliminates these issues by engineering each ECU to match the factory wiring architecture of a specific platform.

These guides exist to ensure you choose:

The correct ECU for your exact vehicle
The correct configuration for your model year
Hardware that professional tuners already understand and support

No assumptions. No universal guesses.


Built for Performance Builds

AMP Plug-and-Play ECUs are designed for vehicles that are modified for power, control, and reliability.

These guides support builds that include:

HCI (heads, cam, intake) combinations
Turbocharged and supercharged applications
Nitrous-assisted setups
Built or swapped engines
High-RPM naturally aspirated configurations

Whether tuning is performed in-house, by a local performance shop, or through a remote tuner, these ECUs provide the hardware foundation required for serious performance work.


Designed for Tuners and DIY Builders

AMP Vehicle-Specific ECUs are used by:

DIY builders managing their own calibrations
Performance shops working on high-power platforms
Remote tuners supporting customers nationwide

The ECU hardware does not dictate how tuning is performed — it provides the professional-grade foundation tuners expect when working on modified engines.

Full tuning and datalogging are supported through TunerStudio.


Factory Harness and Sensors — With Standalone Control

AMP Plug-and-Play ECUs are designed around what performance builders value most: modern control without unnecessary changes.

Each vehicle-specific guide confirms:

Factory wiring harness retention
Original ECU connector usage
Compatibility with factory sensors (platform-dependent)
Preloaded base configurations for startup
Full standalone tuning and datalogging capability

You get the control of a standalone ECU without sacrificing clean installation or serviceability.


How These Guides Are Structured

Each Vehicle-Specific ECU Guide includes:

Exact vehicle and year compatibility
Confirmation of true plug-and-play installation
SKU-specific ECU options (when applicable)
Tuning workflow considerations (DIY, shop, remote)
Clear navigation to the correct ECU solution

These guides are intentionally written to remove uncertainty and make ECU selection straightforward.
