93 impreza wrx import chip
 
what companies still make chips for w6 ecu? i have full decat system and only looking the car to be 270-280bhp

JDM_Stig 19 February 2018 08:51 AM

I ran a Mines ECU on my 1995 wrx, never missed a beat, and pulled like a train.

Cossiej23 19 February 2018 09:15 AM

I was looking at them but they seem to need v power fuel,in my area best fuel I can get is 97,polar chip seems to be my best option but can't find any for sale

Yeah defo need a decent fuel, or octane booster.

A fellow county down man , nice !

Youre best bet will be an ESL daughterboard, can sort you out with a real top mapper too if you need :)

Cossiej23 19 February 2018 12:12 PM

Cheers,think I've got sorted,been offered a z4 ECU or 7k,gonna lift the z4 tonight to see what difference it makes

Pross 19 February 2018 01:13 PM

z4 is out of an import. It wont like the 95/97 ron.

My car is a import ,been told 97 works ok with it,was told 7k would need 99/100

My '93 WRX (originally with a w6 ecu) is running a z4 - it's totally transformed it, to the point where I've scrapped any further power-extracting plans!

I've always run it on V-power, but then I did so before swapping from the w6.

rossyboy 19 February 2018 08:15 PM

Feels like 2003 in here :D

Z4 would be just about ok on an otherwise standard car on 97 and was from the 94/95 WRX with 260 PS.

Shouldn’t really run a decat on it though - if you’re going to modify at all, then spend the money for an ESL chip and map and a safe circa 300 bhp.

Cossiej23 19 February 2018 11:44 PM

Got it fitted,very smooth compared to old ECU,very happy,will get it on Dyno and fueling checked

bludgod 20 February 2018 08:42 AM

as above, it will likely run OK but best bet for the future would be an ESL board fitted and mapped. If you still have your old ECU the ESL can be fitted to that meaning less downtime.

Cossiej23 20 February 2018 11:55 AM

Would prefer to get polar chip but just can't find any for sale

bigsigh 20 February 2018 01:55 PM

you would rather have a generic chip than a tailored map?
doesnt make a lot of sense to be honest.

Cossiej23 20 February 2018 05:53 PM

It's the price,polar chip gets great reviews at a fraction of the cost,if I wanted maximum power I'd get it mapped at an expense of £650/£700 which I'd rather put into getting the car sprayed

Chips n curry lol

I will be,if I wanted to pay the cash for a custom map id probably take it to a place in belfast Gsport as he is very good at the mapping but from what I've researched the polar chip will do exactly what I want at a fraction of the cost,just finished reading threw ur thread,that company just up road from me

RAGGY DOO 20 February 2018 10:58 PM

Stay away from the bluffers bud
