Hello people I was just wondering if anyone knows what the best ECU is to upgrade to! I have a 1995 jdm type ra!

Can you use any type or can you chop and change!

I took a trip up to jap performance parts and they have a few ecu for various imprezas. Can you map a standard? Is there a favourable ECU to go for?

Just looking for a wide range of ideas from everyone! So i can make the right decision!

Thank you for your input

 

what do you want to do. do you want to modify quite a bit on your car or just a few things. cheap and cheerful, unichip, polar chip. serious modding motec, ecutec, simtec

 

It has a apexi straight through exhaust, walbro pump, fmic, want a ew turbo and ecu! Looking for a safe bhp of around 340-350

 

I have a few mods on at mo, and looking to get mapped in a few weeks?
I have a apexi straight through exhaust, walbro pump, fmic, looking to uprate the turbo, decat downpipe is the next mod! Also the ecu which im trying to find out the best to go for! Im looking for a safe 340-350bhp with no more than a 15psi!

 

Why no more than 15psi?
Depends how much money you want you spend really.
This guy does all or nearly all the ecus for subarus and has a very good reputation

the missus drives thecar aswell so dont want to ruin the car

 

not sure if you can get 350bhp from 1 bar boost though.
although depending on what ecu you get some do have the ability for dual maps (simtek is one of them) so you can a mans map and a womans map

 

I like the idea of that! Looking a over a grand for that though, I guess?

I wasnt talking about hitting 350 straight away!! Should explain my intetions a bit better!
I would hope for 340-350 eventually! Building up to that.Then maybe a rebuild!
Im trying to expand my knowledge of scoobs. I wouldnt mind spending a few grand in a year or so on a new age sti!! Im just interested in the ins and outs of the cars!
