You could fit a Scoobyecu which will have better suited fuel/ignition maps for UK fuel (Optimax) plus have the added bonus of increased boost (Increased Power)

Cheers

That is a mod to the ECU mate. You just plug it in to your current ECU.

Wink

The board is shown below (From www.scoobyecu.co.uk)

This plugs into a 28pin socket in the ECU shown below :-

As your car is JDM it will be likely that you will need a 28pin socket soldered to your ECU's main board.

Cheers

HI, Is there anything else i can do with the Z4. The ScoobyEcu is proving to be imposible to get, unless your quick enough in the for sale section.

the z4 is one of the best ECU'S for the pre 96 car, a lot of people swap to the z4 as an upgrade.
if you want an ecu with a little more without engine risk go for a 7k from a V2 sti (275ps) as apose to 260ps on a z4.

there is one in the for sale section for around £150 at the moment.
