Power FC ECU question
Good afternoon,
This may be a stupid question but when you buy an Apexi Power FC ECU for a 1995 WRX does the unit completely replace the standard ECU ?
If the answer is Yes then this leads onto my second question:
Is there any gain in replacing my Version 1 ECU with a Version 2 ECU? I have heard the Version 2 has the abiliby to have chips like the ESL one pushed onto the board rather than soldered?
Cheers
Dave

Not too sure by what you mean on version1 and 2 ecu.
The early ecus were U8,W6 and 2C in the early wrx then replaced by the z4 (which you have i think)
the chip goes into the plastic holder on the bottom right (this is the z4)
the chip goes in the same place but you need a plastic holder which you get with the ESL chip (this is W6,U8,2C)

check www.enduringsolutions.com for the chip and what they can do.
Is your brother replacing a z4 with the apexi?If so you may as well put it in your car.
I changed my early ecu for a z4 and its fine (saving up for the apexi though)
