Ecu
What ecu should I be looking to buy for my 1995 wrx import wagon?
I need one mappable or one already chipped? If done already can I just plug it in? My car is standard at mo other than de cat through and panel filter.
There's so many to choose from on eBay?
Cheers

Need an ESL daughter board, mappers can fit and map them for you when you go to get it mapped. most will supply as well. I'd recomend getting it from the mapper/tuner so if theres an issue they can deal with it and replace it with a spare.

in short no...z4 ecu is for td05 not the vf turbos.plus if running front mount will need remap otherwise it will go bang rather quickly.
i have 93 wrx running cat back system,walbro and induction with the z4 ecu.

As the new Simtek is out then there are deals to be had on 2nd hand ones at the moment. As you have quite a few bolt on's then a chip will not be an option. ESL board, fitted with the map , about 550 quid.

Thanks for all the info, marcevs72 what power does that give you?
Thing is I have at the moment fitted a cat back exhaust to a standard wrx wagon 95, I have a panel filter on order and looking and ready to buy down pipe decat, if I'm right in thinking should I then be buying the walbro fuel pump and an ecu? But is there an ecu that I can plug straight on from a standard wrx that is mappable or do I have to buy a certain one?
Thanks

there arent any re-mappable ecu's for the early cars like ours.im saving for simtek and a front mount for mine.i am running 275 bhp at the mo but thats about max for the standard injectors.the fuel pump is more of a safety thing as original pump is rather old and for how much they cost adds a bit of piece of mind about failing pump running car lean.

Yes i know about the mot, 11 months test so will worry about that later,
Unless like you say bulldag you think cat back which is on and panel filter
To fit at weekend then fuel pump when ordered but leave it at that till i get
Ecu and fit the downpipe at same time??
Thank you

That's what tidgy, wildpikey and ukpaisley were referring to when talking about the ESL board.

As said above , you can not map your std ecu,I have worked on 5 x 95/96 wagons in the last 2 yrs including one I bought last Thursday. Std power is around 220 bhp. If you change the ecu to a z4 and add a td05 you should should see 260+ with mods.
If you can find a 6s ecu iirc off a sti , it will give you 275+ bhp. Your std ecu boost to 0.6/7 bar, Z4 hits 0.8/9 bar, sti ecu 1.0/1.1bar.
Still the safest option is an apexi, simtek,or esl which can be mapped to your car .individually imho.
