hi can anyone tell me somebody that is able to remap a 98 turbo 2000 with a chip torque wrx expansion board v1.2 fitted to the ecu tried quite a few of the obvious places like scooby clinic, lateral performance etc and was told to ask around on here. the car it came from had the same mods as mine apart from ive got a td05 20g and the ecu's mapped for a td05 16g any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks

Ah you bought that one off ebay did you?

No mate you can't remap it, i saw it aswell and asked around, Andy said it can't be

 

i did mate. my main concern is the turbo i'm not sure if its a problem running a slightly bigger turbo or would i need an esl

 

if in doubt sack it, relist it and get a proper map dude

 

see what it runs like when ive finished the project few other things to sort out first. i messaged the seller and they said it came with the car and i've heard good things about chiptorque and cant understand why nobody is able to remap it it does have a 16 pin connection for what i presumed to be for remapping

If there is an issue it may well be too late by the time you back off

 

I posted a question about it few months back

They did an EPROM adaptor board for 97/8 many years ago. It's the equivalent of the 27c1028 chip for a 92/6 you can get from ebay. Not mappable, no way of knowing what sort of static map is on it, no features like motorsports stuff, twin maps, etc.

Because they are EPROMs, so not live mappable and not mappable in any real sense of the word. (Unless you count removing eproms, finding all the relevant parameters, writing your own software, finding the correct adapters, finding a machine that will burn them, then physically removing them every time you want to make any sort of change, mapping).

I'm willing to be proved wrong though, show us what you found with your research. Where is the software? What mappers use it?

 

cheers for the info think i'll just get an esl at some point in the new year and try to recuperate my losses.

 

ESL is the way forward.

 

Yes an i will be getting one soon when get funds, as its going to cost around £700 for ESL and remap

 

thats the only drawback but i think it's definitely worth it for antilag and launch control. i saw on the ebay add andy stevens put up that they'll put a map on it when you send off your ecu is that just a base map and he's just bought my old one from me aswell may well be asking him to stick me a board on it and i'll pay the difference lol

 

It'll just be a base map from Andy. Ready for you to set up yourself or by a mapper.

 

what mods is it mapped for apart from the 16g?

 

fmic
255 lph fuel pump
adjustable fuel pressure reg
440cc injectors

tdo5 16g @ 1.1 bar
