Genuine Scooby ECU chip upgrades - suits classics to 1996
#273
put my car on surrey rolling road last saturday and with the scooby ecu chip fitted it made 295hp /250lbft, thats 223whp and 178lbft of torque at the wheels and its an auto , not bad considering that it should only be 208hp std. the a/f ratio and boost is also spot on, just another testiment to how good these chips really are .

ecu chip
Just fitted chip had a problem with my coil packs but with help from steve soon had it sorted, well pleased with chip and v quick response from steve with any tech tips needed.

Finally fitted td05 and the chip to my 95 wrx wagon . Got a problem with it loosing power intermitently when accelerating.
Its had coilpacks, maf, water temp sensor and was running fine before.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,
Simon.

ecu chip
The problem i had was it was cutting out at 5000revs just like a rev limiter put ecu back to original map and the car ran fine, so checked coil packs and found fine cracks in them i temporarily insulated them and put chip back in and she ran fine.

Hi major_sarcasm
just wanted to say a massive thanks for the chip you sorted me out, i finally got a decat pipe to go with my exhaust system & K&N panel. Also new coil packs & a full service & ..........WOW! the car really does pull like a train, its fantastic, thank you so much, its like a new car.
turbo whistles really nicely & starts spooling an whistling from 2000rpm. really smooth drive mate - thanks

Can i use an ECU marked with IC (220hp WRX Wagon MY94) , put in there the chip, and then install the ecu on a WRX MY95 with TD05 and so on??
i want it so because the IC ecu has the socket allready so i dont need to put the socket in the original Z4 ECU from the MY95 WRX

Still got a problem at about 5000 rpm . It stutters and then pulls.
like a missfire but all coilpacks and maf have been changed.
could it be the boost solenoid at all?
Suppose i need to get a boost guage to see if it spikes or dips at that point.

Hi Simon, a boost gauge would be a good investment, but the boost control solenoid wouldn't give misfire-type symptoms. Did you change the plugs when you did the coilpacks? Are the plugs gapped correctly?
#293
plugs were changed last july 7000 miles ago by the previous owner so don't know about the gap on them. Scratching my head abit.
Will check all the hoses and vacuum pipes again as i changed the turbo at the same time as fitting the chip.
What symptoms does the boost solenoid give?

Sorted it now i hope. Bought some carb cleaner , sprayed all 3 pipe connectors of the boost solenoid and a lot of crap came out of it.
It must of been sticking at 5,000+ revs, no problems on the journey to and from work today , fingers crossed its sorted!
Just the Gearbox left to do!!!!!!

hello from germany again :-)
my chips are here and will be installed this week.
one question:
you have marked the chips, cause two are for JDM WRX (RA and non-RA) and one for my STi V2.
The Chip for the STi V2 is marked with "STi V2".
Can you tell me which differences are in the map between the WRX chips and my STi V2 Chip?
cheers

The 'v2' on the STI chip refers to version 2 of the map and not the version of Impreza that it's for. The differences in the maps are mainly to accommodate the slightly different cams in the STIs.
