Anyone have the wiring instructions for fitting the ppp board into the bugeye ecu?

 

Is this it?

Cheers mate, I've opened it up on my phone but the pics are on top of the text so can't read it

Is it like that on the pc? I can't check ATM

Also I'm reading various opinions on what restrictor pill size to use

Standard is a 1.2mm on my 01 bug wrx

Some people have said the needed to use a smaller 1 to get the boost up

Any ideas?

 

Same here, gotta look at it on a computer.

 

Not sure about the pill, I'd leave it as standard and try it out. I think it's really there to stop sudden boost spikes.

 

Yeah I read that and was told that it was only needed on the sti

But other posts say that they struggled to get the boost up on that size of pill

 

Now to find out what boost I should be getting with the ppp fitted

 

My classic will achieve maximum boost from my Td04 of about 22psi no problem with the standard pill! Obviously 22psi is far too much, I think you'll be ok with your standard pill!

 

15.96psi (1.1bar) for the UK Prodrive ECU. I'm currently running that pressure on my classic.

Fitting procedure:

Attachment of Prodrive ECU to Factory ECU

1. Remove the factory E.C.U. from the car.
2. Take off the top cover of the unit and gentle push the items shown in Fig.1 back to give
access for the Prodrive E.C.U. (Fig. 2)
3. Cut the red wire on the Prodrive E.C.U. to approximately 75mm long and strip the end ready
for soldering.
4. Using a sharp pick scratch away the varnish protective cover from the + positive supply to
the diode, and then solder on the red wire. (Fig. 3)
5. Position the Prodrive E.C.U. onto the factory board and glue the feet down with a silicon type
glue, please note exact position from Fig. 3.
6. Cut the blue wire on the Prodrive E.C.U. to approximately 90mm long and strip the end ready
for soldering.
7. Solder the blue wire to the 2nd middle leg in plug 4. (Fig. 3)
8. Cut the white/blue (or white) wire on the Prodrive E.C.U. to approximately 90mm long and
strip the end ready for soldering.
9. Cut the 8th top leg in plug 2 and then solder the white/blue (or white) wire from the Prodrive
E.C.U. onto the bottom end of the cut leg. (Fig. 3)
10. Cut the yellow wire on the Prodrive E.C.U. to approximately 110mm long and strip the end
ready for soldering.
11. Solder the yellow wire from the Prodrive E.C.U. onto the top end of the cut leg. (Fig. 3)
12. Cut the black wire on the Prodrive E.C.U. to approximately 130mm long and strip the end
ready for soldering.
13. Solder the black wire from the Prodrive E.C.U. onto the 7th top leg in plug 1. (Fig. 3)
14. Cable tie the wires from the Prodrive E.C.U. together as shown in Fig. 3.
15. Replace the cover to the factory E.C.U. and attach the labels to the bottom surface to seal


whats the black plug for?

 

Looks like its for factory programming, doesn't appear to be used by the end user (you).

 

Cheers mate, I'm guessing this is totally different from a standalone gems ecu?

 

Hi, I've just purchased a PPP board for a bugeye and was wondering how you got on fitting yours, did it fire up ok and did youanage to find any clearer pics.
Cheers.
