how do i know if i have a prodrive ecu i had a look at mine and it dosent look new i had it fited 4 days ago

 

what year is it? on newage usualy its got it wrote on in a marker pen usual what car is followed by numbers

 

its a 2000w clasic

 

it should have STI written on it in pink writing, the original on an Wreg should have green writing on it

 

are u sure subaru said thay sent my old ecu off and thay remaped another 1 out of another car what was sent,and my ecu will be remaped for another car has any 1 herd of this it dose feal faster but i herd the exhaust can make a big difference

 

Hi phil, I had my MY01 WRX remapped (not PPP I should add) but there's no way I could be in doubt whether it had been mapped or not, even with a new exhaust (I fitted my new exhaust a few weeks before the remap).

The difference in both power and power delivery is like night and day.

 

As sideways has said, it should now have a pink sticker with STI on it.

The original will have AE800 or AE801 on it.
If you want to check lift the passenger carpet, in the front footwell, remove the cover plate and look at the label.
If you have a boost guage it should peak at 1.1 bar, up from 0.9 bar on the original.

 

it definitely dosent have a sti sticker on it subaru said they sent my ecu to prodrive with £1000 and thay credit them when thay get my ecu something like that surbaru said it has 265bhp now, my mate said my ecu is remappable and thats what thay do

 

The original PPP (when purchased as an upgrade and fitted very soon after taking delivery of the car) raised power to around 240bhp. Also included a blue i/c hose stamped Prodrive, and the prodrive back box. In terms of performance, the main improvement was the torque which continued beyond 5k revs.

 

i was thinking about getting a boost gage

 

it sounds like it could be a TEK 2 map

 

The complete package for that year consisted of, prodrive intercooler hoses, Blue samco type, not the black hard plastic ones.
1 x ecu
1 x backbox with prodrive logo
1 x decat centre section.
1 x certificate

Power was approximately 246 BHP, torque was similar (I will check the paper work)

Looks like you may have a TEK2, as stated by sideways, these ECU's are mappable via ecutek software; if you are not sure have a word with the garage that fitted it.

 

thay said prodrive did it

 

Prodrive now use Ecutek software for the later PPPs, perhaps they now also use a TEK2 like map for the UK99/00 PPP ECUs.

Try contacting Mike Wood and asking.

 

We do indeed now reflash the std ECU for 99/00MY using the same calibration as we've always used.
