Hi folks,
After much thought I have decided to open this forum at your request, but please consider very carefully your actions within this section, both from a posting and reading point of view.

Engine management is a very complex subject and what appears to be a very simple change, can have huge ramifications under different conditions. (summer Vs winter for example.)

Please, remember, any modifications you make are at your own risk, and if you are not 100% certain that the advice you are about to offer is correct, don't offer it.

Also remember there are professionals out there willing to help, and anyone found directly bad mouthing such professionals, or posting up their calibration code for example, will be immediately banned.

This forum is for learning... please use it that way only and remember, I am here to help where I can as its a subject close to my heart, so i wont be far aware if you guys start to get a little out of hand, so beware...

 

Yeah, pretty excited to have this!!

 

about time this was started.be good to learn about all this.

 

 

 

well done for starting this, hoping to learn a few things.

 

Now to get Toneh to post up details of his map.

 

Should be some interesting info in here

Look forward to learning some more info

 

Good move, I hope I learn something from this

 

Thanks stu and thanks to everyone who voted YES

 

 

Are logs from commercial tunes allowed?

 

They are on most similar forums but it would be sensible if they were not used to slag off a commercial tune and used for genuine fault finding.

 

Agreed... logs are not the IP of the mapper (only the map is IMHO) so I can't see why there would be any reason to exclude them.

 

This is great. I am one of the new breed, a Tactrix openport 2.0 amateur. I am curently running a map sourced as close to my upgrades as poss then amended by me.

 

A good positive move for scoobynet which will get the real
Techies excited and networking with each other
Dump valve advice is banned and stick on tat from Halfrauds

Well done to toneh for opening up such a intersting subject

 

 

Hi people my other half has a 1997 Scobby STI, just wondered If a re-map will sort out the dropping of idle, when she drives it and come to a junction it nearly cuts out, then the revs come up, I flash coded it, it came it with idle air control valve, so I took the one off my car, I've got a wrx Scobby, cleaned my one out, seemed to make the running better but it still goes to stall? I've even changed the mass/ air flow meter, also done a full service, oil, plugs, it's got a piper cross air filter on it, do you think a re-map help? Thanks Scobby 555

 

Could you have issues with your tensioners also mate?
I could be wrong , but I had a similar issue and had to replace them.

 

You should probably start your own thread... might get a better response.

 

yes...advice.... I DEFINITELY need some ...gonna start a thread.. thnx!

 

Hi all, just wondered if any of you could help me....I have a Classic Scooby that i took on which needed a lot of work. The car has no history what so ever and i am trying to decipher what exactly it is and where it's from. So it had a TD05 on it, but i have put a TD04 on it now(this is the first odd bit: when i first had the car the turbo was seized and yet since removing it it has freed up completely..??!!) anyway the td04 is on but i am struggling to see if it is performing properly as i'm getting flat spots through the rev range range (as if it's slipping similar to as a clutch would) usually 3rd-5th gear, almost as if when you boot it, the turbo has to try and catch up...!! So i took the passenger footwell back to have a look at the ECU and it's an E3......Any help much appreciated. I am very keen to get her running 100% again but this is very frustrating.....I have thought that perhaps the car was mapped for the TD05 that was on it and that now i have replaced it with the 04 that it is simply in need of a remap....??? Anyway thanks in advance.

 

Start a new thread, dude.

 

Now then!

I have just bought an X reg 2000 Turbo and was wondering how I could go about remapping it. Firstly for fuel economy and secondly for performance. I'm not sure if both of these criteria can be met with a remap. I think the ECU is a Y7. The car is totally standard with the exception of a scorpion stainless exhaust and a green panel filter.

What are my options?

I'm from Middlesbrough and somewhere relatively local would be ideal. Can anyone recommend anywhere?

Cheers..

 

Copy the question and start a new thread in this section will be best as this is just an info thread really. Oh welcome by the way

 

Will do.. Reason I hadn't done it already is because I didn't know how.. haha. Totally new to all this.

Cheers!

 

Wrong thread

Start a new one.

 

Hi don't know if I'm in the right place or not but I have a 03 wrx and have done a de-cat down pipe and the management light is on if I remap it will it stay of.
Someone please help...

 

Hi Stewart, im new at this forum stuff maybe you can help me.
I have a 2017 WRX 2.0 T with a manual trans. U.S. spec. I run a COBB accessport on the ECU for performance. Moving to Spain and bringing it with me, will the ECU need remaping because of the gasoline difference

 

Welcome to the forums.
Probably would have been better to post this as a new thread in the forum, rather than in the stickied "welcome" thread.
There is a least one 2.0 turbo WRX model (FA20F engine) in the UK of that year (that I know of) due to US service personnel being stationed here.
I would imagine that it would be beneficial for the sake of the engine to have it dyno'ed, once you arrive at your location, and then see if a map tweek is required to suit locally available fuel.

The US owners manual recommends 98RON (93AKI) or higher for the STI model and 95RON (91AKI) or higher for other models.
It really depends with which fuel your car is mapped for and what Octane fuel is available in your new location.
95 RON is most common. Shell V-Power (98 RON) is also commonly available, as also other brands of 98 or 97 RON..
