What MY is it going on ?

 

its going on a 2001uk bugeye.

 

log on to WR1oc.co.uk and ask jd his was the first newage to be mapped with the simtec. getting mine done at the mo.

 

I had a Simtek early on and was so impressed with it that I now have a second one on another wagon and have plans for a third one.

 

So impressed in fact, he had to repeat it!

 

He would of said it again but he hasn't got the 3rd one yet

 

LOL

 

I have one on my MY00 GT Classic running my STi5/6 engine.

 

Echo the above. The Simtec is a great system packed with lots of features allowing the mapper to get the best results from your car, not to mention the end user perks of anti lag, launch control, shift light, Switchable maps and so on.

 

How do you control this ecu?ie swap the map,alter the boost?

 

either via a switch or using the throttle at ignition on*
The contents of the two maps is upto the owner.. you could have two boost levels or two fuel maps etc..

Simon

* uses the rev needle to tell you which map it is on

 

what about shift light option, does it work off dash light or seperate light is it adjustable like uk newage sti and how much?
martin

 

The shift signal triggers the engine check light, this then becomes your shift light

Pricing as follows, mapping included.

MY93-MY96 4 plug - £940
MY97-MY98 3 plug - £940
MY99-MY00 3plug (grey) - £1051.62
MY01-MY07 5 plug (inc VVT and TGV) £1233.75
ALS and Launch option - £176.24

 

seems pretty clear then-how much is shift light option or is it included already??
thanks
martin

 

All functions listed are included except antilag and Launch control, which is an additional £176.24 on top if the ecu cost

 

great,just have to wait for my murtaya to be built then
martin

 

for that fitment (2001) its getting up to the cost of the solaris ecu, which has same features but more proccessing power within the ecu

 

Still doesnt cover 06 onwards drive by wire throttle units to my knowledge.

 

booked mine with jgm need to go mafless solaris not ready for the newage just yet cant wait too impatient

 

no unfortunatly it doesn't.. but will do once sorted.

I believe the bus related stuff is the hold up.. like all the lights or infact every bulb before activated sends a message to the ecu and the ecu says yes turn the sidelights on etc etc..
