Default Ecm

Found a srt6 with 60k miles on for $4,000. The problem is the ecm was ripped out out of anger 😬.
if I bought a eurocharged programed ecm and plugged it in, would it work?
Also would my n/a ecm work?

No. Neither will work.
The ECU has to be mapped to the SKREEM so one from another car has to be configured for the SKREEM in your car, unless you get the SKREEM and chips for the key fobs from the donor car.

An N/A ECU does not have the code for the supercharger or the tune of the supercharged engine and I suspect it won't talk to the SRT6 TCU, either.

So it's a "NO" for all your questions, but we do have another question: What can EUrochared do for you? Perhaps (I simply do not know) they can remap the ECU for your car.
The ONLY person you should be asking is Eurocharged themselves.

what would I have to do/ how much would it cost to fix this srt6 that won't run due to the ECM/RCM being ripped out?

Watch Ebay

I purchased a spare set in the event mine died and I was unable to get the ECU REPAIRED OR REPLACED
ECU
TCU
SKRERM
BCU
Door lock
Glovebox lock
air bag key switch
2 OEM Fobs

It’s in a box in case I need it.

if you go down the road make sure the donor items comes from the same body style that you have
coupe or roadster

Again, thats a question for Eurocharged or Josh at the Mercedes Swap Shop. As I said, I don't know how much they can do to program a donor ECU to your car. I do know that if you find a SKREEM, ECU and Keys to an SRT that came from the same car, you can put all three items in your car and be good to go.

Now, the only drawback is that the electronic VIN of the car will change to the VIN of the donor car, so online emissions tests cant be passed by your car, cause the VIN wont match.
But other than that, getting those items from another SRT WILL work.

I decided not to buy it... to much of a gamble. I think I will stick to body work.

Buy it as a parts car, the guy may come down in price.

The cost to reprogram the ECU would only be a few hundred dollars. If I were closer, I would jump on it.
