Does anyone know which of the scoobyecu boy's would be best to contact in the south area...if any...!!!

I would like to get it fitted if pos as i'm a bit of a dumbo when it comes to auto electrical...

I wan't to order one now..

Cheers,

John.

Also interested in a scoobyecu - Greeno would be interested in knowing how u get on with it as we have the same age car etc etc.

I assume u aren't getting the unichip then

hendy

david did you get my last e mail about the scoobyecu cheers grant

Greeno

Hi nelson,

Yeah i have decided that i will never have a grand to spare at anyone time, and my saving skills ar'nt exactly very good, so i have decided to go for a scoobyecu, i've only heard good things about them...

David you have mail...

Cheers,

John.

I might have an ECU you can buy when David's mapped it. I bought a second one, post to David, then swap when it comes back.

I have one of these fitted to mine.
You can tell the difference Oh yes

Zooooooooooooooom

How simple a job is it to fit one of these scoobyecu and are they o.k to run alongside a manual boost controller such as a dawes ??

David_Wallis

Depending on your car.. if its a wrx then it needs a socket soldering in..

its a 28pin dil socket.. nothing too hard to do BUT..

** word of warning **

if we do it then we charge, some people dont want to pay this.. fine if you can solder a double sided board with through plated holes.. which are filled with solder. If you cant then this isnt the place to practice your soldering skills. just becuase you can 'join' two wires doesnt mean you can solder it.

STI's if you must do an sti ecu then the 28pin IC is soldered direct to the board.. This IS VERY hard to remove..

If i was to do one of these then I would want circa £100 for fitting a socket.. and also the way 'I' would do it is to cut each leg off on the IC making it useless.. then undsolder each leg from the pcb and then fit a socket..


if its a uk car then simply plug the board into the socket, that is kindly fitted as std.. and then cut a link on the ecu (not any link ) refit cover to the ecu, refit ecu to car, replace carpet and enjoy.

also you could run along side a mbc, but I wouldnt.

Hi David,
Correct me if im wrong here but having to install a socket and cut a link to me infers there is a selection process as to where the ecu reads the map from, if this is the case can you have switchable maps?
I havnt had the opertunity to look at the ECU in mine yet but will get round to it at some point. Is the origanal map also stored in an eprom ? and is it possible to change this map?
I am intrested as I would like to have selectable maps one for me and one for the missis, (can you lower the rev limiter? she seems to like hitting the rev limiter in my bmw and sees this as some form of change gear indicator!! )

Cheers

David,
Why wouldn't you use a Manual Boost Controller with the ScoobyEcu ? Because of Leaner fueling & people getting over zelous with the amount of boost they run etc.

Thanks

Dean

Yes you could switch between std map and another map..

If you did an address shift you could probably squeeze two maps in the eproms.. Its not something we have really bothered to look at..

the main reason most people run a mbc is to increase boost.. These boards are 'mapped' for more boost.. so why not just let the ecu control boost..

My old map used to control boost up to 22psi.. with no mbc..

I am now using an aftermarket ecu and two solenoids controlling an external wastegate.. however there are cars about to run over 500bhp with the std ecu..

You could use a dawes to try and improve spool up.. also the fuel cut is retained unlike with a superchip.

who runs one of these and what do you reckon, as good as the more expensive flash maps say ecutek etc?

Pavlo

I would say they are as good as an ECUTEK reflash, but they are the same thing for a different year of ECU in effect.

Soon, we shall what the factory ECU can really do.

Paul

scoobystityper

can a version5 sti type r ecu be done?

David_Wallis

no.. sorry..

92 - 96 only.

Ace product,easy to install,buy it!!

Pavlo sorted my car out with an ECU and the bloody thing shifts big time, the bloke is a genius!!!!
