I see eculabs is now another option for mapping late classics instead of ecutek.
Anybody used it or had their car mapped via that software ..??

Apexi is old tech now chap, from what I've read about eculabs it offers more than an apexi can.

Reason I'm asking is I have a pal who will be ready for mapping in the coming weeks.
My initial thought for him was ecutek but after reading a bit on eculabs I thought I'd see what people thought.

I'm in the same boat matty, regarding a my00 type r and was looking at options to go mafless, and it's only ecutek, syvecs, alatek and eculabs.

The alatek and syvecs are out of my price range for the features I want, so left me with ecutek and eculabs. Ecutek don't do mafless function and the problematic maf problems when heading for reasonable power.
So found option for eculabs, seems to have all the functions of esl with simlar price bracket, so no brainier really.

But I also would like to hear people's opinions of this as it's not really talked about so I'm presuming it's a newish chip/software.

You can buy the software and a ecu ready to go if your that way inclined

Mocom racing in Cambridge is well known for offering this

Mocom aren't based at Cambridge as far as I know, they are near Sudbury I believe.
They offer a service where you send your ecu to them and they'll upload the eculabs software and then send it back. Think its around £300. You can then map it yourself or have your chosen mapper do it.

I was just interested to see if anyone was using it and if any of the known mappers within the Subaru world use it ??

just send it direct to france, good exchange rate. Mine was back in no time at all. Choose your own mapper the software is just interface to the usual tables with a few small difference for per gear boost etc.

see martyn is on support forum.
