hi can anyone help me ?

have found that my uk classic 98 turbo has been fitted with a sti ecu is this compatable with my car as am worried about the fueling being wrong can anyone enlighten me .

cheers Boing

 

mate your going to blow that car up

 

we will see mate put your money where your mouth is rudeboy!!
see you sunday

 

if your car makes it

 

has the ecu had the crank and cam sensor wires swapped. otherwise the car wont start.

 

yeah mate car has been running fine but am worried about to much boost as i have recently fitted dump vavle which is very loud.am just wondering is it compatable with my car numbers on ecu are as follows

10010 5610 a18-000 dv8

can you help me

 

Personally would not really take the risk of running an Sti ecu in a uk car, its asking for trouble.

 

cheeers mate

what if it is a uk sti ecu?

any thoughts mate

 

Not possible as ther was not uk sti until 2002 and that ecu will not fit your car.

 

thanks mate

is the sti ecu re mapable for english 98 ron petrol and would it be running more boost?

 

The PPP cars of 98 and 99 came with a STI badged ECU

If the car is running without swapping the cam and crank sensors then it is a PPP ECU

nice one mate what is the difference's of the ppp ecu compared to a uk turbo is there more boost. am new to the scubby scene so all help is very useful

 

260hp as std as opposed to 220 odd

If it is a PPP car then nothing to worry about, if it is a normal UK turbo then i would source the additioal parts to complete the PPP

IIRC you are looking for the Samco type turbo to intercooler hose, if the hose is plastic then it is not a PPP complete car

More clued up with the WRX imports than the UK cars

You sure you don't have the Prodrive Performance Pack on the car. This used the STi ECUs.

 

Whoops should have read the whole thread. Sorry for repeating what was already said

 

97/98 ppp, possably used an STi ecu, the MY99/00 defintately did, you would have a different back box and exhaust over the standard item, the b/b will have prodrive on it, you should also have some samco blue intercooler piping (y piece).
Power output will be up from 208bhp to around 240bhp and there should also be a certificate to say its been fitted with the performance pack.

And then someone like Tony turns up who knows more than me

I know of a white 1998 UK turbo with the PPP STI ECU, intercooler pipe and backbox

cheers for the info car has magnex back box not prodrive and no samco hose so i guess some one has just put a ppp ecu in my car is this wise as car is standard shape apart for full decat.

can you shed any light
