ecutek remap query
the scoob that im going to be getting has a 2.5 bottom end with a sti top mount intercooler,full miltek exhaust and 1 of the cats removed and the standard turbo with a ecutek remap running 263/265 which i thought was quite a low figure really so i want to fit a walbro pump,bigger injectors and a remap but the guy only has the rolling road printout that says ecutek on it-do you have to prove that your car has already paid for the license or not? sorry if its a dumb question but i really dont know,also what sort of power will i be making roughly and safely?
regarding the remap how much does it cost being as it has an ecutek map on it? the car is a 2004 blobeye wrx with the sti 2.5 short-block |
Whoever you take it to will know if it has the license on. If you can find out who originally mapped the car you can vet the map teamed for about £150. If you take it elsewhere you will need a full remap costing about £300-400 the only saving will be the £150 licence fee.

Map tweaked not teamed stupid predictive text
|
powerstation did the map so i will take it to them
any idea power wise what i am looking at? |
Not sure Is it a TD04 turbo ? If so I don't think you will gain much if any. Best off getting a vf35 good for 350
|
yeah think its a td04,will get a vf35 in the end i think
because it has a 2.5 bottom end can i expect loads of torque? as its only kicking out 270ftLBS at the min |
To be honest I wouldn't bother getting it mapped till you have a replacement turbo. The 2.5 blocks do give out good torque but you need to put the TD04 in the bin first.

its best to collect all the bits i need and fit them all at once then get it mapped again i take it? |
Spot on buddy.. Get it right first time it saves you money in the long run.. you can pick a good vf35 for around £250..

Yea sure. It's the standard turbo on the newage STi that many people remove to upgrade. I will be removing mine in a mint or two and there is nothing at all wrong with it. It's not for sale tho I'm putting it on my golf
|
ah right-see i told you i dont know much about these :lol1:
whats the next turbo up from that? or is 340ish bhp about the max that my engine can handle |
Not sure what the 2.5 wrx block can take. Is it from an STi if so it will have forged internals making it much stronger.

Oh lol you may be right. As I said I dont know anything about the 2.5 blocks. Would be easy enough to find out I suppose will see what I can find for ya.

Think the limit is around 400 BHP. For that you want hawkeye 2.5 wrx 562cc injectors. Ported headers walbro fuel pump and a turbo of your choice. The TD05 20g turbo will get you very close to 400 for the least money.. blobeye sti pink injectors are usually referred to as 550cc but they arnt they are only 500s and won't get you to 380 bhp.

350 is a nice figure and MPG is almost acceptable lol.

mpg doesnt bother me as i do about 40 miles a week only |
Dont forget that you dont have to use Ecutek. Take a look at the mafless option for your car in the link in my signature below. Worth considering!

2.5 hawk sti bottom ends have semi forged items within, people normally run up to 380ish powerwise, there are plenty of threads on here to have a read of, they like to spit the head gaskets out after that point, not all of them but most! Some will take more and run happy and others have let go and sh1t themselves at 330 so its hit and miss :thumb: |

Graham Carbibbles has put a lot of effort into this And it's a cracking job I've been following it for months on romraider and nasioc And running it myself for a couple of months now And I really believe its closed the gap to a point where you've got to question the likes of ecutek or after market |
