hi i have a my96 uk 2000 which i bought cheeeep , i have on order a cone filter decat uppipe,downpipe and centre pipe, headers manifold have a 16g tdo5,walbro fuel pump and fmic.now ecu wise i don`t want to pay bucks for a setup really as i plan to sell the car after some summer fun. so ive seen these polar performance chips for my model which raise the boost ,new fuel map etc etc.
if i fit all these parts together will this chip map be sufficient to make them all work well together an safely because ive heard good things about this chip
and if so what sort of horsepower will the scoob achieve

 

too many mods for an off the shelf chip imho they are designed for uprated induction and a decat, nothing else

 

Agreed, Your going to need and esl chip live mapped to the mods on your car

 

Major_Sarcasm chips are similar to the PolarPerformance chips... I have a chip for my car running the same mods as you. Major Sarcasm puts a generic map on for the mods you have, so mine should work in yours...

Mine may be for sale soon as ive got a ESL

 

I know a few people who run a PP chip with the above mods, with no real issues. However, an ESL is the best option to get the most power and reliability. I run a FMIC etc... on a PP chip with no problems. Id imagine the power to be around 275-285bhp.

 

Have you put your car on a RR, what bhp did it make?

 

309.6 after a bit of a fiddle and clean with carb cleaner

 

your kidding yourself if you think that chip is tailored to your mods, i'd bet money its the same maps you'd get if you just had a decat and air filter

 

Never go cheap on these bad boys, it'll only end in tears and your summer fun might in to a summer nightmare, with an engine build

 

Chip has been in my car for 4 years + with no issues.

Jamz_ Theyre nice figures, was that a UK or an import?

 

I suppose once its in and get it checked on rollers and if no signs of danger, then enjoy, but be careful.

 

Yeah totally. I had my AFR's checked, and they were all ok... Its the dodgy ebay chips i would be wary off. The genuine Scott T and Major Sarcasm chips are ok. But ESL is the way to go to make the most of the mods.

 

i had the same mods on a uk 2000 that i sold a few months back the only difference was it had an apexi ecu and 550 injectors but that made just over 340 bhp on the rollers and was the fastest scooby ive ever had ,so 275-285 seems a little stingy to me

 

WRX mate

 

Major_Sarcasm was telling me he had quite a few base maps depending on mods... The most mods he had maps for were FMIC, Headers, decat, exhaust, fuel pump... nothing more then that

 

Every car is different. My car made 265bhp on the rollers, before i added the PP chip. No idea what its making now. ESL or an aftermarket ECU is the way to go if you want big power, the chip is just a cheap way of upping the boost, fueling and timing.

 

+1 nothing beats a new ECU, im not arguing against that, as ive just got myself a ESL...

 

Will be interested to see what it makes with the ESL.

 

what is this els ,im afraid im a bit down on the times it was all simtec and apfc when i was modding last

 

ESL is similer to a chip, but it can be mapped on the road in real time.

 

where do you buy these els and whats the cost

 

http://www.jollygreenmonster.com/ does them.

Aye the ESL was an ebay bargin - before you edited your post lol

Will be putting the results in my project thread once everything else is fitted and mapped

 

Haha, I wasnt exactly sure if it was you. Good find that mate

 

This is an ESL, as said above, its kinda like a chip, but allows for mappers to "remap" this chip to suit the car. It also keeps the standard protection features which you will when replacing to something like an Apexi

 

^^ i want one now!

 

A chip is far from your best solution. Why not start looking out for a secondhand Apexi, Simtek or similar that can be mapped specifically to your engine modifications. This will be safer and realise the potential of your modifications.

 

Hi All,


I have a beleived genuine IMP-ECU-S2-V18 ( KC ) 275C Polar Performance chip and wondered if anyone can tell me the code it relates to.


I think it is for a TD05 UK or WRX pre 96 model year car.?


I have a low mileage 95 UK turbo with a TD05 and need some reliable info that this code would be safe on my car.


Please help guy's.

Regards,
Richard.
