Can any V1 ECU have ESL attatched
Gents and mappers, can any ECU have an ESL board attached, I have opened my ECU up as its a Mines unit and taken a pic. Its a U8 ECU form a 93 WRX. I understand that soon selectable maps may be available or at least a choice !.

I would assume so, as the map is just stored on the eproms, but once you cut the J1 resistor and add the daughter board, it'll run the map off that....

Umm, your ECU is not a Mines unit. If it was, resistor J1 would not be soldered in and there would be a chip in the socket in the top left corner, which is the same place the ESL is plugged into.

Mines flash the board, not add a chip according to my sources , hence the cost of them and the fact only Mines can flash them. The car was quite standard looking back through all the paperwork, It arrived with a standard exhaust , so I hope the map is not too over the top, hence I would like to keep it and use an ELS board with this ECU for extra mods and UK Fuel.

...the 93~96 ecu is mappable via the spare chip slot.. the mines ecu chip goes into that slot and a resistor is cut to change control to the new chip / map.
97~98 is mapped in a similar way Mines is a Japanese tuning company (great naming a company after a bomb). The actual mines ecu regardless of year is not mappable by normal means.. the eeprom can be reprogrammed but I am not aware of anyone willing to do that, there are far better ways to map a car, doing it live or at least programming it without the need to remove the chip and put it in a programmer and refit it etc sees much better results. The mines ecu is usually running very advanced timing and needs reasonably high octane fuel.. at least 99ron plus booster.. although I have seen cars still detonating on that, and however I have seen the odd one perfectly happy. Better to save up and replace it with a mappable ecu. Simon |
