hi i have got the money together 2 get a simtek fitted in my 95 wrx but i have seen some threads recently saying that there would b sum new software out b4 xmas 2 do with idling issues-does anyone know when exactly this will b and would it b worth waiting till this is available?-cheers

 

you may aswell wait mate we are all waiting for it but all i know is 'before christmas' for a date aswell

What's the spec of the car, aspirations for future mods ?

 

its got a walbro fuel pump,hks downpipe and blitz nur spec catback,hks induction kit,forge dv and i have sum 440 inj and a fmic 2 b fitted prior 2 mapping-its all finally ready but as i said im ready 2 go but wasnt sure if was worth waiting but it sounds like it could still b a while b4 the new software is available and im itching 2 get it dun

 

Could always go ESL daughter board retaining factory settings for knock and idle ? Similar spec to mine, I would be more than happy with ESL in retrospect.

 

looked into esl but not wot i want-getting rid of restrictive maf is one of reasons i want 2 go 4 the simtek just wanted sum info on the future idling software

 

They are adding closed loop idle control. The object is so that the idle can take care of itself.

 

i have got a similar set up mate and i had mine mapped a simtek today and i got 350.9 hp lol ;p

 

yes its the closed loop idling software that i am enquiring about but nobody seems 2 know when its actually going 2 b available

 

thats extremely good mate i bet u r well chuffed-i dont want that much power personally as all my money is going on the simtek and i want safe hp as i dont want 2 b buying a new gearbox or having an engine rebuild

 

speak to simon (jolly green monster) i hear only great things mate and he will come to you

 

cheers but the simtek will b fitted and mapped at triton motorsport as i live in bournemouth and they r only 5 mins away and i know them well and i prefer the 'human touch' rather than dealing via email-as ive said all im after is sum info on the closed loop idle software but dont seem 2 b getting any so will prob plough on regardless

 

Why not contact Simtek direct or have triton enquire on your behalf. Personally I would wait, but if Triton are as accommodating as you imply I am sure you could proceed on the understanding that updates are imminent.

 

i did check out the simtek website but it hasnt been updated 4 ages-i have 2 go back and speak 2 the boys at triton sat morn but i think its going 2 b a case of getting the car mapped initially and then having a map tweak when the new software is available and it really is now or never cos if i wait a month or 2 the money will only disappear on something else
