Been to subaru dealer today at Tiley bristol, to find out why the CEL come on and it was due to the 02 sensor, when I told him that the car had not been remapped yet to uk fuel he advised me to do this A.S.A.P. Does anybody have have any ideas on where to go or any suggestions.

Cheers.

Kinda depends on whether you're using normal UK pump petrol, or whether you're using octane booster as well, dunnit?

 

I'm using shell optimax at all times but use a booster when going on long journeys like 100+ miles

 

You may want to look at this thread clicky.

No good on my car because they only remap my99 onwards, mine is a 96 jap import wrx sti type ra

 

Hey Mat are you looking to modify the engine any furtehr or just wanting a really reliable engine map. I am running the Gems engine management Group buy

 

That's not the way to do it, you should use booster all the time, or, as Tiley's suggest, get the car remapped. The length of the journey has nothing to do with the car's susceptibility to det, that's more down to how hard you press the throttle.

Edited to say that on your '96 car, a ScoobyECU would be the most practical way of remapping...

As above scooby ecu do a search for info and comments there was an ad in the shop section David wallis is the man about £75, it remaps it for uk fuel and ups the boost with a modified fuel map .
Can strongly recommend it , it plugs into a spare socket on your existing ecu board .

No i'm not moding the car and yes to reliable remap.

 

I've been using the search to look for other peoples situations like mine and they use scoobyecu remapped by david wallis or somebody called pavlo, does anybody know if they still remap or not.

 

I shall add that to the list with:
More info soon, but essentially yes the car can be sorted for UK fuel, but I would stick to Optimax in the meantime, avoid BP ultimate, it's the worst of the bunch.

Hi Pavlo how much do you charge for do the remapping as I need this done A.S.A.P. as the car has just had a full engine rebuild less than 2000 miles ago.

 

we spoke to one of the octane booster companies at autosport ,and they admitted that using an octane booster all the time eventually clogged the cats up,i have spoken to a tuning company who gave me the info first, has anyone else heard this?i realise that this would only apply to cars with cats.
