I`ve got a 97 wagon with prodrive ecu , boost increased to 1 bar ( via Dawes Device) and a full 3" de-cat. I`d like to have it mapped to get the best out of of my mods. I`ve spoke to a few places But its seems they just want to supply and map a different chip which works out expensive. But i just want mine remapping. Is this possible ? Anyone help ?

Well some bad news for you im afraid you cant remap your ecu, so if you want a remap its going to be on a different ecu, id speak to Jap innovations or Andy F for info on what you can do.

Tony

 

i know andy f dose an apexi power fc including a remap for 830.00 all in you can go to him or for a little extra he will come to you

 

Would i be be better off getting a standard ECU havin that remapped and selling my prodrive one ? Cause dont fancy payin 800 quid just for a tune up cause thats all i want.

You cant map that ecu, you will need a different type if you want to have it remapped, as above the apexi is probably your best bet.

Tony

 

YHPM..

 

Daint fancy spending that much mate thanx anyway. I just wanted the car tuned to get the best out of the mods.

 

Like i said mate would i be best to get rid of the Prodrive Ecu and just get a standard Ecu and had that re mapped ???

The problem is the 98 cannot be remapped as Tony has been saying.. well one place do it.. Power Engineering I believe but it will cost you more than I quoted for an Apexi.

I`ve got a 97 with the slanty i/c can that be remapped ???

 

if it has a slanty intercooler then it must be a 96.. check out the www.sidc.co.uk and look at the FAQ and check the chassis number to see year.

If it is a 96 then Paul at Zen can remap it..

Sorry mate must be my mistake its a p reg thought it was 97 Doh !!!!

I`ll check that link out

Cheers White un

 

no problem.

 

So what other options are there for remapping a 96 ???

White un

 

Apexi, Link, GEMs.

Apexi would be your cheapest and most like original ecu once installed.

Link you can lose the MAF sensor.

Gems you have anti lag to make lots of pops and bangs and can lose the MAF sensor. lol

The only other problem with 96 is the map sensor tops out at around 1.15bar so you need to have another way of increasing the boost beyond that and controlling it..
Dawes being the cheapest.. Apexi AVCR the more expensive but proper route or the Apexi has a boost kit, but all getting more expensive.

I am having to be careful not to get a wrist slapped for advertising.. but I can do any of the above.

Or get Zen to remap with a scoobyecu.. and I think Pat via Scoobyclinic might be able to do that too.

Simon

 

And to think i just wanted it tuned to me present mods !!! I`ve opened very expensive door here !!! Bring back the days of havin me rs turbo RR tuned for 80 quid !!! LOL !!!!

Thanx for your help simon think i`m just gonna have to wait a while and save for the Apexi FC

 

And another one slips out of Simons net

Andy

 

Whats that about ?

 

yes what that about, ive been reading through alot of crap also sound adivce,need to no wether to remap or not, what ecu, ect ect ect, please explain!

 

lol @ Andy.

Andy was trying to say that I had been trying to net another mapping job and that I had failed..

A friendly jibe if you like.

I hope I was giving advise rather than just trying to hard sell something, please do tell me if that is not the case.

I sent two people wanting ECUTek your way so far this week Andy.

Thanks and goodnight
Simon

 

Cheers Simon, just doing my moderator bit You certainly get away with more free advertising than most !
