Either your ECU is wrong or your car is not an STI 2. U8s' are from 93/94 WRX cars with 240ps and a boost target of 11.47psi. A boost gauge would be handy to see what it currently maxes out at

Could be an opportunity (or excuse) to get an Apexi P-FC.

They come up from time to time but make sure it's the right one for your car i.e, pre MY97. There's an Andy F group buy on at the moment. Good price, good kit and bloody good mapper

Your correct in thinking that the V2 Sti has 6K on the ecu causing. I know another member who has the same 6k ecu on his v2 sti, well maybe no more.
I think the v2 sti type ra has a 7K on the ecu casing.

Or somebody has changed the ecu on your car, possibly using the earlier ecu's & having a remapped chip.
Just open the casing it may have a scoobyecu chip inside?

Also, check your VIN code here,

it'll tell you what model car you have.

wah

I have a U8 in my MY93 WRX !!!!!!, which I believe is the correct one for my car

is the u8 making my car slower though that is the question

wah

That is possible is the map on the U8 ecu's are **** from what I have been told mine running without the scoobyecu in it runs really low boost

sti v2's don't have the red manifold, at least never that i've seen.

just think - when you get the right one it'll be SOOO much faster

ticky

[QUOTE=tath]sti v2's don't have the red manifold, at least never that i've seen.

They do have red inlet's. I think your getting confused with the version 1 sti.

Matt even if you did have the 6K it would not be ideal for uk fuel, unless used with octane booster.
Mine currently has been remapped for uk fuel with a scuba ecu chip (Scott's)

tath

i was almost certain that red inlets were introduced MY97 but i stand to be corrected...

cossie01

I have a MY96 STi 3 and that has the red inlet

Oh and it uses a 6S ecu, is this the correct 1 ???

tath

no you must have a '96 v3, a model year 96 is august 95 to sept 96 and is a version 2.

cossie01

Sorry

I have a Oct 96 STi v3 with ecu code 6S
is this the correct ecu for it ? and are there any others that would be better for it ?

I'm sitting lookig at a 6S ecu that came from my MY97 STi3 Oct 1996 reg. It has 3 yellow sockets for wiring harness. This is different to STi2 which has 4 sockets.

tath

back to my pigheaded point, i'm sure that my97 (oct 96 included ) were the first to have red inlets...

sti-spec-a

Some did have red inlet manifolds and some did not.

The full production of the STI model did not start until 1997 and from that point forward all STI inlet manifolds were red

My friends has a version 2 with a red top engine but mine has a silver top engine
