Hi all, got a prodrive ecu from a s reg classic, I was told it will fit models 97-01,tried it in my 2000 facelift, all plugs fit perfect but engine just turns over, my alarm still works on the fob but not keypad,does the prodrive ecu need resetting to my car or is there something else I'm missing...

What colour is the plastic around the ecu sockets?.

 

Dark grey mate

 

Dark gery is only for 1999-2000 cars and the 97-98 have a yellow coloured plastic i know because i have both .

 

Mine is a 99/00 model

 

What does it say on the ecu as i have the info somewhere.

 

It's pink label and says, sti sp, A18-000 D3H

 

For a v5 impreza (coil pack on the right of the engine) the prodrive ecu is STI SP 1001056110 A18-000 DIX with a grey plastic socket surround but the one for the v4 impreza is different.

 

The prodrive ecu has 1001071011

 

Looks like you have the wrong ecu and i can`t understand how it would run a v4 impreza and a v5 as the ecu`s are totally different and i have the genuine prodrive ecu`s so i know my info is correct but the v4 needed coding in where as the v5 did`nt as i fitted it to an RB5.

 

That's something I didn't want to hear mate,how much r they selling for?

 

Is your impreza a v5?.

 

My coil packs in front of my bov if that's any help mate

 

So it is a v5 impreza and is it an import or uk car and what was the info on your original ecu?.

 

Uk

 

My standard ecu is Y7 22611 AE 802. A18-000 D3L. 9x29

 

I had same problem with my classic.. the problem was ecu wasnt pairing up with the car a simple reset sorted the problem out.

 

Billetbeanz thanks for your reply, was urs a prodrive ecu on the same model and year mate

 

The genuine PPP ecu for a v5 is as i have stated above and this will not fit a v4 and also the v4 needs coding in and fitting an unknown ecu is i think asking for trouble.

 

So if this ecu is for a v5 and mines a v5 shouldn't if fit?

 

It might fit when coded in but the ecu is not one from PPP in my opinion and not knowing what map it has got it is not something i would fit to my cars.

 

Have u got the 1 I need John and how much can I get 1 for

 

I was told its a standard prodrive ecu and should increase my bhp to 260 without mods

 

If you look at item 300853511910 on ebay i believe that is the ecu that you need.

 

johned is correct with his numbers (i have one on a my00 car)

they are just plug and play

'fraid it looks like u have the wrong ecu

 

Can't find that item johned

 

Found it, to be honest this is identical 2 the 1 I've got but numbers are different,

 

It cannot be identical if the numbers are different and it is the numbers what count.

 

Your right johned,I brought it thinking it was the right 1 and the seller said it will go straight in...... Had my pants down big time,now trying to get my cash back cos he said he don't do returns on electrical items?????????
I'm in contact with the seller of the item you sent me and many thanks for that,

 

Johned, r u sure the 1 u sent me will fit and how much should I b looking 2 pay mate
