Ecutek ECU
I have a V plate (99/00) Classic impreza and have the opportunity of buying a 3 plug ECU with Ecutek software (the proggramme on the ECU is TSL 333 Ecutek)
What benefits will i have over the standard ECU as i was led to believe my existing ECU was mappable? Will i retain the MAF or does this eliminate the MAF? In terms of cost for a map if i provide this ECU, what sort of bracket am i looking for? Will the ECU fit my model vehicle? It came from a T Reg 99 classic. Thanks |

If going somewhere else you will almost certianly be charged more. Check with the mapper.

thanks for your reply rob, and so late at night aswell..... :-)
So am i right in thinking that my standard ECU is mappable so there is no real need to go for the Ecutek unit? Current mods are: Induction kit Front Mount Intercooler Walbro 255 fuel pump either a VF or a TD05 will be replacing the current TD04 Ninja full stainless with decat pipes from turbo back |

Expect to pay £600ish + vat |
ive been told the ECU has came from a t plate uk spec turbo 2000 same year and spec as mine.....
So to be honest, i may aswell keep the ECU i have and get that re-mapped as opposed to purchasing the other one. I was led to believe it was a simtek unit which is why i was so interested, but i guess not...lol The car will be running the TD04 until i can take it to get mapped where the new turbo would go on aswell as the ECU. |
If you have it mapped now you would be looking at around 280bhp enough to make you smile until you fit a larger turbo. If you do it now you will pay the license fee and any further mapping sessions will be a lot cheaper, as said around £200. The reason I suggested this is that it may take a while to get the turbo sorted. Who knows maybe 280bhp and 300+lb/ft of torque will keep you happy? Well, for a while anyway;)

Would it not be more sensible just to contact an Ecutek remapper such as Bob Rawle and check out the cost of remapping your existing ECU for your specific set up. bob.rawle@btinternet.com He is in Swindon and will also advise on anything else you should do in advance of mapping.
If you are not prepared to travel you could try Simon Roe/Jolly Green Monster who does travel to customers. |
