Can anybody give me an idea as to which other types of subaru this ecu is used for and will it take piggy back ecu's from gems and the like.......other numbers on the case are as follows
22611 AA600
A11-000 R78 9120
just need to know what else this is on basically
cheers steve......

Hi Steve,

I can supply you with a EPROM that will suit your current ecu. Drop me an e-mail if you're interested.

Another alternative would be to get a later 92-94 Legacy ecu (an Impreza 93-96 will work but has a different case and you will need to hard wire the intercooler pump to high) and give it the ScoobyECU/ScubaChip/Vos chip treatment.

(Vos chip is basically the same hardware as ScoobyECU, software wise I've never seen a map but Adrian certainly knows his stuff, so I'm sure it will just be variation on the same theme of the other two [cost is about £40 more]).

Cheers,
Alex.

Steve, GEMS replaces the ecu completely but still uses the existing wiring loom.

talbotsteve 13 November 2003 09:16 PM

guess who forgot to press e-mail notification on his own thread then......arse
thanks every one for your replys.lt will be next year before l can afford to sort out the motor,while its still relatively low mileage but l am a complete novice and don't know where to start.
As mark knows a friend of his has recently started working with me and is building a group n rally car which has had gems fitted so this was purely an option.
Barking mad alex what benefits would l see using an eprom and what sort of costs are involved.......ln fact l'll e-mail you off line....ttfn steve

Hey Steve, Christ GEMS is worth every penny! All i'll say is absolutely awesome!

talbotsteve 13 November 2003 09:33 PM

Peter was absolutely bouncing this morning recons its better than sliced bread,though the anti-lag is barely noticable,suppose it can be mapped for a bit louder bang though (see it cost a little more than planned aswell).Just sat watching the 91 british champion ships again,it would be really nice to have my legacy sound and go some thing like colins on this tape.what direction would you recommend to help up the power in the short term until l decide which way to go,l have e-mailed the guy in australia (mad alex)to see what benefits can be had from his system.Are you going on the raid on sunday if so will se you there,hopefully have a chat
cheers steve

I might as well go and bed in my new brake pads!

talbotsteve 13 November 2003 09:54 PM

thats the spirit.......should be even more stickers on my car by sunday to help slow it down.....knuckster is coming with me and my brother is following in his delta evo 1......any idea what time and where....the original raid thread is taking to long to give up the info.....see ya steve

Hi Steve,

I've sent you a more detailed e-mail but basically its a remap chip that provides alternate boost, fuel and timing maps to the standard ecu. A ScoobyEcu for the early 8 bit ecu's if you like.

Alex.

yahtzee 11 December 2003 08:02 PM

oh what about a later ecu ? i know its an rs but the later ecu can easily fit a chip look here :)

here vos chip

really well thought of altered timing fuelling etc was based on an group N chip i think email the guy hes very helpful :) unlike some.... oh and he works for ECU manufacturer im getting one off him for my 92 legacy

legacy pics

will :)
