So picked my95 sti ra up today after having it fitted with a simtek Ecu and mapped with supporting mods that were fitted, some prior and some at garage

List of mods are

Walbro 255
Phase 2 440's
Apexi power intake (resonator delete)
My99 map sensor
Fully deccatted system
New age coils

Still on standard turbo and tmic

Below is a pic of the graph I was given,

Now I was quite surprised it only made this figure, I'm not for chasing figures but considering the expense of the Ecu and supporting mods should I be quite disappointed it only made this amount, there is an improvement on torque but to end up with the same bhp as standard seems a pointless exercise in fitting all these uprated parts,

I questioned if there was a reason it didn't do better and was told the turbo would restrict it with whatever parts were fitted so seems maybe a waste of time if this is the case,

Can anyone shed some light on the advantages of the simtek to say for instance the esl daughterboard,
I'm running maffless now but so does the esl, it's been fitted with a temp sensor but isn't running duel maps etc which I have heard is a feature, are there any other advantages

I look forward to all your opinions
Regards

 

Is that on a TD05/VF turbo? I would have thought you'd get much more than that. I got more with a TD04 on a UK T2000.

I have ESL but no experience with any other aftermarket ECU. Having read many posts it seems ESL is the way forward. Costs less, appears to do everything the others do plus more and it retains Subaru diagnostics and knock control. The Motorsport pack is great too. From experience, ESL have top notch customer support. Someone more experience will come along and I'm sure this will end up as a heated debate.

 

Td05 I believe, like you say posting to gather opinions on what people with more experience than myself think

 

did you get a before dyno as well as the after dyno?
