Just been quoted £700 for a ecutek remap on my 02 sti...Is that not a bit expensive?

 

Is it your first one? IIRC you have to buy the licence which is in the region of a bout £650 I think, then subsequent maps will be cheaper.
Someone will be able to clarify.

yep first one...

 

Bout what i was quoted by the clinic, 150 quid of that is the licence. 100 quid will be rr time and the rest goes to the mapper ect.....

 

sounds expensive to me. Mapping was around £500-550 for my classic when I got a quote just over a year ago. That was a Tek 3 remap, first time.

They just keep quoting bigger numbers in the hope you pay. Why bother with the rr? Most people agree that the best result comes from being mapped on the road. Chances are your car is going to be like a fair few others, so the mapper can start with a base map and tweak it for you.

Only point of an rr is to get some pretty accurate at the wheels figures to boast about. fly figures are a waste of time imo.

 

I wouldnt pay £700 when you can get one from a reputable company for £400.

 

£400 from Mocom Racing, next week will be the second car I've had mapped there.

 

Mocom did mine as well. nothing but good things to say about both them and the Map

 

I paid £650 which is the going rate for a Ecutek remap. Mocom use a different system and pass the licence saving on to you. I think Mocom also rolling road it to give you bhp figures which you have to pay extra for with most other mappers.
If the results are the same, it sounds like better value to me!

 

Think it's around £600-650 + vat, which includes the license, as said earlier. Subsequent maps will only be for time and are circa £200.

There's cheaper (openecu) and more expensive (standalone ECU) options, but the ECUTek seems to do almost everything.

 

Think I paid about £500 on a group buy on my old wrx and that was probably 3 or 4 years ago so £700 does seem quite expensive.

You've got plenty of choice so shop around, if near London/Herts I can recommend tweenierob at perfect touch. If you're further up north try Paul at Zen Performance or Pat Herborne at Scooby Clinic, all three will do an excellent job

Paid £500 for mine recently - that was an ecutek remap for the first time. £700 seems expensive.

 

Mocom do all the mapping on the road, but they do supply the ATW figures once mapping has been completed, along with in gear times

 

If you have PPP fitted (fitted in 2005 to a MY02) do you still have to pay for full license or can it be re-mapped ?

Ecutek license is something different to the PPP mapping, new start new license

Just out of interest:

Once you've got your license, does this apply to your car wherever you get it mapped? Or do you have to go back to the same mapper for cheaper remaps?

 

How much did PSLewis pay for his remap

TX.

 

U spelt that wrong M8 u ment *Roadmap

 

I think you will find he got the remap discounted with his knocklink + gauges install.

 

I am not sure on this, but I think you have to go back to the same place. I do believe that with an EcuTek map the map cannot be read by other places. It protects what the mapper has done so other mappers cannot copy it. I don't know if they would make you pay for a new license if you went somewhere else, but they would have to map from scratch (I think)

The openECU option is just that, open. Go anywhere and anyone can read what anybody else has done. Some mappers don't like this as it gives away their "secrets".

I am ready to be corrected on the above though, this is just what I have heard as I have not actually gone down either route.

 

That's about right. Password protected. So same mapper is able to access, others cannot copy. New mapper would take a base map a do it all again.

 

Thought it was probably something like that. But wouldn't have to pay the license fee again, would you? Just a little bit extra as they will have to work from a base map?
