Anyone got or know where i can get/dowload maps for my 1995 wrx.

For what ecu, got to be an aftermarket one as the oem isn't mappable

steven bass

Its a z4. I know its not the greatest but its the one that came with the car. Goin to upgrade when i get the cash. Recommend an ecu? Anyways can u help with the map?

The z4 cant be mapped like that. An esl chip is the best way imo

steven bass

Is ecuflash any help at all? Do you know anythinh about ecu flash? Like...does it show bhp? And i currently have high idle, 1500 rpm, ive done all the checks, iacv, tps etc n vac leaks. All i can think of now is something wrong with ecu settings or something as ive read a few threads where people have raised idle speed with ecuflash?! Will ecuflash help with this?

No ecu is too old.

Possibly throttle sticking or idle valve needs adjusting or is faulty

steven bass

What about evoscan? Throttle body is fine n cleaned, iacv adjusted (divorced type iacv) but as a working valve should, when adjusted it levels itself up. Iacv also been changed for a known working one. Tps too. I read good stuff about evoscan.

No. The ecu is too old. Its not an ecu issue. It shouldnt idle at 1500rpm

steven bass

Stumped!! Had everything tested/changed/cleaned, no cel. Only thing now is rev counter wrong? Would be nice to have software that would help. Surely there is something? No?

steven bass

Is there software thay just gives info?

steven bass

On research i guess the only way is with a scoobyecu or unichip. Anyone got one? Are those polar chips remappable? Just asking, i know they have a good map already

Jolly Green Monster

No just a generic map.

Could have an after market ecu installed but ultimately the issue needs resolving unless its the ecu fitting an affer market ecu wont fix it but might help identify the issue during installtion

Has it always done it or just started?

steven bass

Been like it since i bought the car. Think im in luck, took my ecu apart n its chipped so hopefully it'll hook up to a laptop. I dont know what chip it is, it just has a white label with impz4 -04-mm

Jolly Green Monster

Makes no odds. You still cannot plug it onto a laptop to alter

steven bass

Sorry meant to say its a daughter board lol does that make a difference? I hear these are able to be hooked up? Sorry if im making you repeat yourself

get the standard ecu for your year of car and swap it out for the z4 and see how it runs.

steven bass

What if i just connect the j1 connection again. Wont that stop the daughterboard n go back to standard z4?

running the standard ecu with your FMIC might not be great,
that`s why it`s running a chip.

as above, apologies i never realised you had a fmic and or other mods. disabling the map prob isnt the best idea for the same reason as stig said.

steven bass

Sorry my bad i didnt say! Car is 95 wrx jap import. Fmic, de cat, n defo has a daughter board. The car is meant to be "290" bhp but want to test this. I dont know about other mods but i wouldnt be suprised if there is some as at some point someone spent good money on this n then some bodger got hold of it.

Evoscan will display what the ECU is seeing and help you solve the problem.

Jolly Green Monster

Not on a 95 wrx it wont

I beg to differ. Here is the link to the cable and details of what cars it supports - http://www.evoscan.com/evoscan-gps-o...ubaru-vehicles

Good luck finding the obd connector.

93-98 is select monitor.

99-00 is obd (not obdII) and so some functionality will work but not all.

Look for the yellow 9 pin connector under the dash (not a obd connector) as shown in the link.

Evoscan supports the Select Monitor 1 protocol, which will enable you to read and log some data from the ECU on your 95 WRX.

steven bass

Thats the way i want to try. Ive got the lead but diy like this http://www.alcyone.org.uk/ssm/howto1.doc. im finding it hard to find software that supports pre 1999 though. Evoscan is the only one ive seen that sounds like it works for people.

steven bass

Surely there must be somethin? Im not questioning the knowledge of you guys on here i totally trust you but if subaru can do it why cant the public?! I have seen the select monitors for sale but there must be programmes like evoscan n evuflash etc that work i guess. Like i say if subaru can do it then why not everyone?! I want to try alcyone but the 2 sites ive found with it to download are either just docs or the other one with exe files doesnt open. I found my ecu with vwxr select monitor but the software is for 1999 onwards. I just want to have a look first n learn abit before i buy evoscan. N also i have a daughterboard on my ecu, i understand these are put on to able an ecu to be reprogrammed n datalogged, is this right? If so then i should be able to do it?

Im not trying to prove you pros wrong or anything i just dont understand how the likes of subaru n garages can do it but i cant. Even if someone explains why then i would be gratefull. If i can or cant then so be it but i just want to understand it a bit more

Bob Rawle

Its simply not possible to directly map the car through the diags port unless you have the ESL interface installed.

You could log it with that cable and Evoscan to a limited degree. Evoscan is not capable of flashing a Subaru ecu ... which is due to it being "EVO"scan

cheers

bob

steven bass

Ok cheers. I mainly want to check sensors n sthis too, is evoscan enough for this? What is needed to map n read an ecu myself? New ecu? Software? Need any kind of chip?
