280bhp mapping
Just about getting my Scooby up together,,, it's 99 uk,, I just wanna get around 280bhp at moment,,,as far as I know it's standard from what I can tell? Is it worth just getting same year ecu from a sti? Or can this not be done? Or what would be needed to do so as it seems rather expensive?
Any help would be great help as I have not a clue as never had this done before,,,

STI ecu is a no go mate, buy a chipped ecu for your model or just buy the chip. Polar performance/eclipse chips are around £80 new or a chipped ecu can be bought for around £50-£75 second hand. You will need to do the supporting mods if you haven't already, off the top of my head I think its just panel filter and 3" exhaust system pref with a de-cat. The chip will raise the boost to around 1.1 bar which should give you around the 280 mark.

Yes Tidgy but it's a '99 which means it'll be running a TD04 won't it? I thought they changed from the 16g's from the later classic shapes. If its running a 16g probably will make more power.
I'd expect more than 260 if the OP has gone full decat surely! The intercooler can't be that much of a limiting factor!

See my signature for my results on the following mods...
Above mods cost in bold...
General figures (from Bobs mouth) are 270-280 if you have a tip top turbo and not a tired unit. He could have squeezed more out but at extra unnecessary stress to the turbo.
Graph below...
- 3" Cobrasport decat (2.5" flange join though so not true 3") £200 s/h
- Walbro 255 fuel pump (very important) £60 b/n
- Green Cotton panel filter £20 s/h BUT only 60 miles old
- NGK "7" heat plugs over standard "6" (whatever associated letters) £40
- ECUteked standard ECU £140
- Standard TD04 nowt
- Bob Rawle mapped to 1.45bar boost (safe limit on standard turbo) £280 for custom map on MY mods

COB impressive torque figure from a TD04!
Not a AF hybrid unit? 2.0 block? Seems very high so interested in hearing about that.
I can't check what my old one made as I've sold the car and hence all map printouts went with it; assume that was v-power/momentum.
So to the OP - you *should* be able to do 270-280 with the right mods no probs and you *are* running a TD04 like I suggested in the first place, which should be capable of making those figures
Oh, but prepare to empty your wallet when you think you could handle more power

As Bob Rawle said I just have a 'happy' turbo. When I bought my wagon it was totally standard and showed no sign of ever being modified and returned to standard as some do. Even down to the exhaust system, wheels and even the sticker on the door card
I've no reason to doubt Bobs figures as I wasn't chasing figures really, just exploiting what's there

sounds a bit optimistic figures wise for effectivley decat and remap on a TD04, but prob in the upper end of the results.
That said anything above 260 is a bonus, results vary from car to car but 280's tend to be from new age not classics.

I know it's mainly about being happy with the car (and glad you are), but FYI my friend also had his Hawk mapped by Bob, and was told the car was making around 380, when in fact it was around 340.
I should point out that he's still very happy with the car, but it's worth being aware that Delta Dash figures do seem to be rather over-estimated in comparison to how the car performs on a proper rolling road. Like you say, it's just as much about being happy with the car as chasing figures (for some lol)!

The car was road mapped if it makes any difference. And it gets driven on a road not a rolling road hense my 'neither here or there' attitude with number chasing. And having had a 'play' (on my personal private runway) with a standard ish newage STi, I'd say those figures are accurate

So If I'm right my ecu is a ecu tek one and will need to pay a licence fee to mapper?? Before he can map it,,
Can I not just find one that had already been paid for and then get it mapped?
