1.7 bar, thats alot of boost john!! Is that what your gauge is saying or what you know its running?

 

thats what it peaks to when i floor it or am i doing something wrong...

 

my gauge says 0.7 bar is that normal or a bit low

 

0.7 bar is right for a non mapped (WRX) car.

boost levels seem a tad high!! normally you can go to 1.1bar with fuel cut coming in at 1.2bar(approx)

 

My WRX run 0.9 BAR standard, bought a DAWES for around £10 , now runs 1,2 ish, did try 1.3 but hit the fuel cut.

The difference between 0.9 and 1.2 is pleasant

 

Had mine mapped tuesday, now running 1.4 bar!!! Thats nice too!!

 

no idea what mines running......
goes well, can't complain!

get naf all flames, unless i really thrash it...

 

ya git, I've got to wait another 600 miles before I can get mine mapped

 

HAHA!!! But just think, when you do get it run in and mapped all that lovely torque and power that 2.5 will chuck out!!!

 

PMSL, might be selling my front mount as the pipework won't fit my car, it fouls the oil filler pipe, so this would finance the Apexi boost controller

don't really need a FMIC with the water injection!

 

How much do you want for the front mount?

 

not sure yet mate, got to try something out, if it don't work, you can have first refusal

 

Cheers mate!

 

Cornelius will the fmic fit my car mate or not as same shape

 

I know what a map does - it increase performance, but what do you have to do to have a map. Do you have to buy a new ECU? If so, what type.
Can you get your original ECU mapped?
Do you have to change other things?
How do they do it, and what does it cost?

Cornelius, Please PM me about your ScoobyECU, price and does it need mapping (I dunno )

 

bump!

 

all cars have a map. even as standard. it's a programme that tells the car, via the ecu, what timing to run, how much fuel to put in and tonnes of other processes.

Early impreza ecu's aren't really mappable. newer cars have mappable ecu, i think 97 on can be re-mapped. you'll normally get better mapping with after market ecu. all depends on what year of car you have and how much you want to spend.

That's a very simple view and don't take it as gospel. I'm sure someone will be along to correct anything shortly.

 

IIRC its MY99 cars that can use ECUTEK mapping, think its 97/98 that there was a gap where not much could be done bar a ECU change and before that scoobyecu... maybe....

 

Thanks guys,
As I have a MY98 - is there no hope for me

 

dont rule it out just yet... maybe (dont look up on it much myself) someone has sorted it so they can map them now....

 

Apexi PFC is advisable on the pre 2000 cars, chipping the early cars is a laborious task and not for the faint hearted. Post 2000 ECUs can be remapped using a multitude of different applications, it's no longer reserved for EcuTek and leaves you free to remove all traces of any changes at any stage, something EcuTek may not let you do at the present time.

 

Sorry mate, the scoobyECU has gone.

As Mo says, and 320BHP will agree, get the Apexi Power FC, great bit of kit!! just can't wait to have mine mapped properly
