**Removing the ECU from a McLaren 570S**

As we begin our journey to remove the ECU from our McLaren 570S, it's clear that this process requires some finesse. Our guide takes us through the initial steps of unscrewing various components, including multiple screws and bolts on both sides of the engine compartment. The mechanic explains that this is a relatively easy process, but one that requires attention to detail. "It's pretty straightforward," they say. "You just take out the whole thing, and then it's done."

One of the key features of the McLaren 570S is its use of Eibach Springs, which are designed to provide exceptional performance and handling. Our guide notes that these springs are a key component in the car's overall dynamics, and that removing them allows for easy access to other components beneath.

As we continue our journey, we come across what appears to be a small rock collection. The mechanic explains that this is simply the result of the car being lifted up onto a set of rocks, which have been used to hold it in place during the repair process. "It's not uncommon for us to use rocks like these when working on cars," they say. "They're a great way to get the car off the ground and make the job easier."

One of the impressive features of the McLaren 570S is its use of beefy axles, which are designed to withstand the rigors of high-performance driving. Our guide notes that these axles are incredibly strong, and that they help to provide exceptional stability and handling.

As we move on to disconnecting the wiring harness, our guide provides some insight into the car's electrical system. They explain that the ECU is located in a compact unit, which is made in Hungary and features advanced software. The process of disconnecting the wiring harness is relatively straightforward, but requires attention to detail to avoid any damage.

**Installing the Blow-Off Valves**

With the ECU removed, our guide turns their attention to installing new blow-off valves. These valves are designed to provide a unique sound effect, which is often associated with high-performance cars. Our guide notes that Weiss Tech has graciously provided these valves for us to install, and that they're relatively easy to access.

The mechanic explains that the blow-off valves are an important component of the car's exhaust system, and that they help to provide a distinctive sound effect when the turbochargers are spooling up. "It's pretty cool," our guide says. "And it's great to see Weiss Tech's involvement in this project."

As we continue to work on the car, our guide notes that installing blow-off valves is a relatively simple process. They explain that the new valves fit perfectly into the existing exhaust system, and that they provide a smooth sound effect.

**The Finished Product**

With the ECU removed and the blow-off valves installed, our guide takes us through the final steps of reassembling the car's engine compartment. The mechanic explains that this process requires attention to detail, but is relatively straightforward once you have all the components in place.

As we finish up the repair, our guide reflects on the experience of working on a high-performance car like the McLaren 570S. "It's definitely a unique challenge," they say. "But with the right tools and expertise, it's definitely possible to perform repairs and modifications that will improve the car's performance and handling."

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: engood morning and welcome to the channel today is going to be a fun day because we are taking delivery of yet another Corvette another c6 just like Rand Paul so let's go meet up with Matt beaver and see what's going on first we are going to Whitmore Chevy but then we got to drive all the way to New Jersey so I really I shouldn't really take my McLaren to the of the world sorry to everyone who lives there but I'm gonna do it anyway cuz it be honest I'm trying to hit 10,000 miles right Whitmore Chevrolet and Ford if you need a new Chevrolet Buick or Ford check them out they will help you out the McLaren always freaks out with the parking sensors even if you're not moving anymore it still wants to tell you that you're not supposed to back up let's see where Bevers at and then I guess we'll hit the road a lot of Vettes available on the lot we got us some grand sports I don't see a single stingray but we got some grand sports and at least one zo6 and the Z r2 is still available and this truck is really sick if you didn't see my review on it check it out my Demuro speed seven-one-seven style review but a great little truck I really liked it it drove nice I think it looks sick love the wide fenders and I would totally daily drive as Y r2 if I didn't already have so many vehicles and if I need it if I needed a truck it would either be this or a new Raptor and it would be close between which one I would want they both have the pros and cons did you hear that calling for you buddy get sick it's the 6-2 I'm not sure if it makes the same power in the Corvette as it does in the Corvette which would be for 65 or 455 I kind of forget with the stingrays but either way I mean probably 450 horsepower suburban that could be sick now if I had a family you know maybe someday that would be that would be a cool family hauler rst looks really good though I love the black accents black around the light black bow tie and black grill as opposed to like the chrome on a regular one so it's all black and then the wheels black logos black sidesteps it's freaking gnarly all I told them is that we're getting the card and say which one Chad what do you think it is new vet Corvette zr1 all right I almost exposed your plans body by the way but I caught myself I was like I guess he doesn't want people know so I just posed when I walked in the dealership I was oh I'm ready to go too and then nobody knew what I was talking about are you ready I'm ready clutch powered everything Steve's gonna put down with a turbo kit on the c5 I think 800 I'm gonna go 727 that's it yeah okay now you know Steve get the Steve census I know it does why no location I think is gonna be key yeah it's not a clean environment there's probably gonna be wrong decision travel in the turbo and exhaust I just don't know maybe really important baby I'll be surprised I'm high that's I hope it does 850 I hope he runs aids banging yeah be awesome now would be awesome but quick I'm getting some snacks Bevers doing something I don't know check this out they got Reese's chilled which I love by the way I love like anything I eat chocolate bar or Reese's it goes in the fridge and they got a chilled for you right here that is sick what should we get get a water something healthy no we're getting this it's definitely lowered tomorrow definitely lower wants so I'm pumped dude in it hell yeah but you're not pumps right now all I've got that yeah you realize yeah I forgot about that oh I'm pumped right now here Dave my heart is pounding it looks really nice I'm like I look really good okay I'll pump sorry I'm trying to I know it takes a while to learn put the pallet there is it must be the owner yes my coolant fans are on extremely loud it's 97 degrees and got the AC on listen listen to those fans holy they're not usually on but it's a hot one today Mike as well nice to meet you thank you very much it is a mclaren 570s bought it not too far away from you and uh McLaren filly in Westchester Wow really like this though man and got rid of it so you were the only one go to the car I mentally think like I told you yeah yeah that's that's your hobby now you're retired you just get older love the the white headlight insert which is factory but looks really cool on white Grand Sport stripes zo6 style wheels in Chrome definitely lower gotta be lower for sure that's like a stock wheel and tire size and the gap is like nothing so he's he's a little bit lower than grandpa for sure but yeah that looks like a really really clean car man Bieber's gonna love this looks pretty clean looks pretty clean to me dude looks real clean yeah it needs to like I said it needs a you guys work at a detail place over yeah there's place you good detail I look way better ls2 oh he's got a pair of RAM that's like the best intake they make their am intake on there those are the best for LS two's so everybody on the forum says ready for a full exhaust and a tune dude sometimes it's better not to I've had a lot of cars yeah I like it I really like the white I think a white c6 looks great the red accents too looks really cool big dude but you think I'm pump super clear I love the white and the red like it's actually I'm loving the look of this guy volunteer full red interior everything 2,200 bucks it's like 40 pieces oh that's not yeah it's on eBay right now yeah yeah I cruised and the Delaware in it yeah so it is an o-5 with the four-speed Auto and that so beavers alewife can drive it really cool really nice here it is 2005 c6 Vette like I said the four-speed Auto really clean car it's only got forty seven thousand miles on it of course you know 47,000 original miles clean title no accidents real nice I think Bieber's gonna like it I think I'm excited for him to finally have a sports car and we will definitely engage in some with this vehicle don't worry about that huh I just I didn't I said you were gonna drive it like a grand Paul the whole time so hope you guys enjoyed this little delivery video definitely gonna do some fun stuff with it so I mean you can already picture where this might be going because I got an ls2 vet as well and I'm not gonna be needing things like the exhaust and the cam after I either blow it up or do whatever so all of the old parts for grandpa may very well find their way onto his o5 and now you guys are definitely used to seeing me work on the grandpa vet it has been a pretty cool project so far and we have done a lot to it it's come along he's come a long way grandpa has come a long way in the short like month that I have owned him but what if we were to change things up a little bit and work on the McLaren what if we were to install some new mods on that car now for me I love the spool down noise that the McLaren makes it kind of sounds like you know almost like my truck kind and I love that noise not I'm gonna embarrass myself and try to make the noise but I love the way that sounds but some people like the blow-off noise of a vent to atmosphere bla valve ice tech actually makes a really easy bolt on kit a vent to atmosphere blow-off valve for these 570s and you know I'm not sure if that's the exact name but that's what it does so I wouldn't install one myself because I like the way it sounds now but he is all about that blow-off noise I don't know because he said he had a GTR before he's that kind of guy I don't know but he wants suffer his 570 and he is the guy John as the guy with the orange the McLaren Orange so the brighter orange 570 spider called me up and he said hey I'm sending out my ECU to get tuned I know that you already did that can you help me take it apart and can you also help me install the blow-off valves while car is already kind of taken apart and I said sure let's do it I'm over here at John's house we're about to take apart his McLaren and ship out his ECU to DME so you can tune his car he was very impressed with how my car runs don't blame him and the install is pretty easy to take the ECU out the jack doesn't fit far enough using a rock that's right we're using a rock folks this is uh at home wrenching at its finest here dude you're off you're up on a landscaping rock right now buddy but McLaren is nice and they actually label the jack points for you with a little green circle so that's pretty cool now when you've taken your wheel off and you're drinking your whatever the that is you want to take your take your t10 and unscrew all of these which there are quite a few I don't even know how many there are but there's at least one two three four five there's like seven on the top around the wheel well so we take the whole both sides yeah again we're gonna take this whole thing out okay and then once that's done it's pretty much straightforward there you go he's doing it for me look at that my car true true but yeah it's pretty easy look McLaren uses Eibach Springs all the screws out and then take out that liner oh wait T see all the rocks and stuff if it's anything like my car yeah it's awesome you gotta it's yeah it takes a little bit of like working finesse it a little bit but come out and don't be afraid to like kind of fold it cuz it will bounce back there you go oh we missed there's one dude Jones there's always one man always one well actually that makes sense because it's on my bad side right now so John how do you feel about taking apart you already mentioned this but taking apart your brand-new $240,000 car its host host Gary there she is just like that everything opened up yeah look at the rocks right there on the control how does it happen just my massive pile of stones like I have a freaking rock collection now what's impressive to me about McLaren is that uh they use really beefy axles if you look out I'm like those are not gonna break those don't scare me at all and there's your turbos well you do a total software here's your sport cats yeah you might as well do the pure turbos as well buddy yeah so if somebody quotes you like 10 grand for labor to do this now you know shop customers will see that we do in fact use rocks to help get the cars up in the air which is great if they weren't assured by the professional set up they'll definitely be assured by the rock so there you can see your ECU up there export bolts it's portable I didn't but people said you should my car was fine but I don't know do that at your own risk now there's four bolts I believe they're ten millimeter yeah that we have to get to their batteries in the front the battery for your 570 ass is located in the front hope you guys are enjoying this seven-one-seven tutorial by the way but there's your five 70s battery up in there in its own little compartment and once you do disconnect that to be safe you got four slightly smaller Torx screws that hold an ECU on here here back here and right up in there and the one back here is hard to get to but once those screws are out then it will be really easy be really easy to disconnect and then you just disconnect the wiring harness but um I mean the whole thing takes about literally 20 minutes now out and that's it folks once you have the bolts out you take out the plugs which is operated by this little like pull tab thing here literally just push that up car easily ECU is made in Hungary mmm-hmm very nice and there you go there's a little Mike and John tutorial on how to remove the ECU and your 570s stay tuned next week again each you back in see Steve you can work in the Corvette's I can work on the Clarence I got that ECU and in five minutes I think we can do nothing I can't hear no I know I know so the world know the world knows it's flat Steve's like oh we could jack it up from the back I'm like I know you can't cuz they're all flat down here if you guys saw part one we took the ECU out which is a relatively easy process and now we're put it back in but jon is also doing something a little bit different buddy what are you doing so Weiss Tech has graciously helped me get some blow-off valves to make this car sound a little more well see I like the spool down noise but you want to make the note I love the blob sound yeah the turbo who wants to yeah I want that sound I know Weiss Tech has it for AMG apparently they just released it for McLaren so we're gonna see how it sounds all right and you can I mean it's pretty easy to access the turbos believe it or not so we literally see the blow-off I was right there right there I mean while we have this out we might as well just yeah so it makes sense should be fun we're doing all kinds of home installs nowadays on the channel my channel has changed drastically overnight five 70s with wise tech blow-off valves oh yeah you can hear that whooshing noise no no performance I like it why mine where he serious gosh I wish I got my camera yougood morning and welcome to the channel today is going to be a fun day because we are taking delivery of yet
