I`m new to the Scoob, so am trying to find as much info as possible before I do daft things with it.

I have a preface 1995 WRX and want to know if its possible to remap these, and if not what options have I got available??

I`ve an Omex 710 ecu in my other car, so could use that.

But what options are available and also who/where does them for a reasonable price??

thats a posh ecu you have there, what mods are on the car to warrent such an ecu,

if you wanted to ecu's from apexi, simtek, and such like are fave's are subaru owners

the best reasonable price ecu you could get for your car would be a esl board which allows live mapping of the original jecs ecu, about £550.00 all in fitted and mapped, although they are starting to come up second hand now for example one went yesterday on e bay for £122, add the mapping ontop you have got a good live mapped ecu

Yeah a Vectra B 1999 GSI. But 3.0 not 2.5 and 251bhp 251lbft n/a compared to 199bhp standard. Shes running a 6 speed box and was on course to get to 280/300bhp n/a but dropped a valve lol. Seriously quick for a FWD Veccy, and will see off most cars topping 5th 145mph, then 6th at 170mph (TomTom speed). Launch control, full throttle gear change, shift lights, variable traction control, and full climate control, on coil overs, with Wilwood 4 pot calipers, vented rear disk conversion. List goes on and on. So got offered the Scoob for £500 with a dead engine, and I`ve always loved Scoobies. My next door neighbour has a WR1 Ltd Edition Petter Solberg edition and is sweet!!


Will have a look around. Seen Apixi for £800 mapped iirc, but ideally like something cheaper.

The board my94wrx is refering to is here

http://www.enduringsolutions.co.uk/ there is a list of people who map it on there as well and i believe it has a MAFless option now

Jimbob

Seen that and looks good for £300+Vat inc mapping.

Just to find someone local to map it for me.

Jimbob, contact dynamix - he supplies them. He can also fit and map it for you if you ask him kindly...

Jimbob

iTrader: (13)

Where is he based??

As I`m Swansea so would rather a local person, or even Bristol area.

joz8968

iTrader: (13)

His business is Race Dynamics. He posts on here as username "dynamix". Based in East Anglia, but does travel.

So does Jolly Green Monster and, I think, Andy Forrest. All of them are top drawer mappers, and I think all 3 can supply/fit/map the ESL Live.

All I know is dynamix does have the MAFless version of it... not sure about JGM and AF though...

Jolly Green Monster

iTrader: (4)

Any ESL dealer can do the maf or mafless version

Jimbob

iTrader: (13)

Cheers buddy. Where are you based, can`t find it on your website??

I run a Unichip Q+ on my MY94 WRX with modderate mods and running 314 bhp and 369ft ld torque. Runs like a dream and have the options to add lots to it.
http://www.unichipeurope.co.uk/ Have a read.

Right talking to the previous owner, and he recons when he bought it the first UK owner said it had been remapped, and was running 311bhp, up from 280bhp standard.

Question is where is the ECU on the scoob and how can I tell whats been done??
If its an aftermarket ECU should be easy to spot, but these ESL daughterboards where do they go??

wimpy

iTrader: (2)

The ECU is found under the floor on the passanger front footwell. Lift the carpet and there will be a metal plate. Unscrew and theres you ecu. If it has a piggyback then you will see it. alongside the ecu.

Jimbob

iTrader: (13)

Sweet!!

Bit of a daft location tho isn`t it??

my94wrx

iTrader: (4)

as above where the ecu is, take it out take the lid off and put a pic up of the insides we will tell you if it standard or not.

iTrader: (13)

Cheers Simon. I thought that was the case - is it a software change or something?

Jimbob

iTrader: (13)

When I`ve got everything together I`ll be looking for a mapping session, just gotta get the right stuff together. Also see what ECU I have in the car.

Jimbob

iTrader: (13)

Right well this is the ECU in there, looks like the guy was telling porkies getting it remapped!!



Anyone know what injectors these are??


Also where can I get uprated injectors from that don`t cost £9,000,000??

joz8968

iTrader: (13)

Although that appears to be a std Z4... it might just have a mappable ESL Live or Simtek daughterboard inside it....

But yeah, defo not an Omex ECU... unless, of cousre, the Omex is a replacement board a la the ESL and Simtek?

Jimbob

iTrader: (13)

Thought the daughter boards were external to the main ECU??

joz8968

iTrader: (13)

No. The ESL - and I think the Simtek too - fit inside the std casing

Open her up to check, before assuming anything at this juncture.

my94wrx

iTrader: (4)

as joz said open it up and post a picture so we can see if its standard or not.

Jimbob

iTrader: (13)

Shall go back and have a look, any pics of what I`m looking for??

joz8968

iTrader: (13)

As my94wrx said, easier to post up pics of what you find. We'll know lol.....

Jimbob

iTrader: (13)

Cheers bud, will have a think.



Went down and got the ECU from the scoob, and is now open.

Jimbob

Judging from google searches is a bog standard ecu??

my94wrx

iTrader: (4)

you have a bog standard ecu there mate, if it was chipped or had a daughter board fitted then it would be in the top left of the ecu board in the first picture
