how can i tell if my car has been mapped
hi im running 1.3 to 1.4 bar in my wrx sti version 3 if the gauge is accurate i get no fuel cut off so im guessing thats ok but is there a way i can find out if it has been mapped thanks for your help.
|
To properly tell you would have to take it to a mapper and get them to check...
Sounds like it is remapped running that much boost, but better to check properly for piece of mind!! |
Check the ecu it as the standard ecu cannot be remapped (not over here anyway yet) it may very well have an aftermarket ecu or some Jap chip perhaps
|
hi you say that much boost but if it was to hi the fuel cut off would cut in wouldnt it i cant turn it down theres no bleed valve .
|
No you're right it would cut... Hence 'that much' boost would imply some kind of remap/chip upgrade.
Unless it has some kind of FCD (Fuel Cut Defender) installed...? |
stupid question would somebody fit one of those without re mapping and thanks for every ones help.
|
Yes the Japs seem to fit a boost controller (of some sort) and then just use a FCD as well.
When my 93wrx came over with some weird electronic stuff on it. |
I aggree... my old 94 import came over with all sorts of **** installed!
Best to get it check out if you're not sure what you're looking for, and start with a good original base and modify it yourself... at least you'll know what's been done to it then!! |
Sure the gauge is right?
