Just wondered how i go about putting a z4 ecu in my 1995 wrx import. There is some one selling one near me says its proffesionally chipped and will plug and play in my car. But i thought it would need mapping to my car? He want around £80 for it? and 25 for the decat pipe?
Cheers bry

 

ive got a 94 import and i did have a w6 ecu now have a z4 just plugs strait in m8 no problem

 

nothing needed then just straight in? Was there much differance?

 

yes m8 strait in id did make a lil diffrence not alot tho

 

you should already have 1 (not chipped)

 

i am going to check tomorrow, so i should already have the standard z4?

 

yes standard ecu for late 94-96 wrxs.

 

ok thanks will check it out i am a bit warey about buying this as it might just be standard and not chipped

 

Should look like this



Bottom rh corner is where the chip/daughterboard goes.

 

your a top bloke lol. so if there is no chip in the bottom right on the pic its standard?

 

yes

 

Sorry to hijack your thread a little but would a z4 ecu go on my96 uk turbo and should i notice a difference straight away??

cheers and sorry again

 

The Z4 is for a TD05 turbo the UK Turbo came with a TD04

 

lockie I think a couple the ECU pin-outs need to swapped around (cam and crank sensors?) or something?

Somene will know for sure in a mo....

 

Not the early ones, they had a td05 (saloons) but always worth looking to make sure and yes cam and crank pinouts need to be changed.

imo Lockie i wouldn't bother go for a Polarperformance chip or even better the ESL daughterboard (although these are both more expensive)

 

so this is chipped?

 

Isn't this a 'myth'? Don't ALL UK MY93-96 wagons - AND saloons - have a top entry TD05H???

Then all had a front entry TD04L from MY97>00.

 

Yes if it's the Trial i'm thinking of they are a tuner in Japan.
Most tuners in japan map their chips quite aggresively (fuelling/boost etc)and for 100 RON fuel

 

Re the turbo, that'll be a yes then - cheers mbwrx (as always)

 

so this will make a diffarence the and i can just plug and play just us high oct fuel?

 

i would get it checked out on a dyno after fitting because you have no idea of what the boost,fuelling,other mods it was mapped for imo it's a risk

Alright Joz

 

Its ign. timing profile is unkown. As mbx says, the Jap ECUs are noramlly aggressive to take advantage of their high octane fuels options. Boost level should be 1.1-1.15bar and no more, as it'll be dictated by the MY93-96's 2.2bar MAP sensor.

If you do use it, I would certainly play safe and use ONLY V-Power PLUS octane booster. i.e. 100/101RON - this should be the correct RON for that chip's map.

Even then, I'd get the AFR's checked on a dyno...

 

ok thanks guys. Just bought a decat for £25 off the same guy got the bug lol

 

mbx, how's your beaut of a v.4 STi? Type R innit?

I bet you're lovin' it, what? lol

 

lol this is just the BEGINNING! You just wait...

 

It's a V4 and yes it's AWESOME

 

I bet it's 'fun' in this weather?!

 

had it just kept it contained lol had m3 before. Had gab adjustables all round (dampers to) strut brace front and rear so thats the handling sorted

 

The roads down here in Dorset are fine ,at least the ones i travel anyway but yes it gives me a bit of time to fiddle with the DCCD settings
