The "search" button is your friend.

This topic has been covered many times.

 

I've heard of cold starting problem's with the simtek

 

just after some personal up to date feedback my friends as the system dosent appear to have been out long i thought people might be finding niggles with it now cheers

 

Not at all, mine starts instantly and has never let me down.

 

Cold start is also set up nicely on mine, starts first turn.

 

well looks like im gettin more excited about the prospect of my mafless beast on the 4th feb watch out evo boys lol

 

Had mine fitted a good few months back no probs at all and the switchable maps

 

From who ?
We have fitted and mapped some 50+ SimTeks in the last year and have never had cold, hot or any other kind of starting problems that could be related to the ecu.
The base maps supplied for every version are excellent and any tuner worth his salt should be able to sort any issues.

 

mine is also fine, apart from it stalls sometimes when really cold

wiley

 

Simple to sort, have a word with your mapper.

 

I keep hearing of a Solaris ecu.........is this a competitor in price and functions alongside the Simtek.????

Not that i would change my curent ecu (Autronics)as it performs perfectly...ie factory idle/cold start.....just curious...

 

what advantages would you gain switching to a simtek ?

 

You lose the maf, tune the car to whatever spec you desire, anti lag, nos and water injection control, launch control you name it.

 

I've heard of two blowing fuel pump fuses, one a club member, and the other on here !

dunx

P.S. PM imf1 he's recently got one on his !

 

This has been address.. I believe it was possibly only two cars but SimTek have altered something already to resolve..
If a car suffers the issue then the ecu can be switched by SimTek to the latest spec to resolve.. it only effected a very small number of newage cars.

Yep, blew fuses on my new age and Marklemacs on initial install..... uprating from 15 to 20A solved it though.

 

both on uprated bigger pumps at the time?

 

So how many different maps can the user switch through?

 

Two

 

The only ecu option as far as I am concerned

 

One Bill and Ted-esque word.











EXCELLENT!!!!!

 

Mine starts better with the simtek than it did with the OE ECU but when it is cold it hunts badly from 300 to 900 rpm until it gets warm.

 

Are you not confusing that with Gems?

 

Same here, but it has with every ecu that has been fitted to it

 

Cold idle can be an issue with any Map based ecu as it is not possible to see the car at every temp.
It is a map issue not an ecu issue.
Sometimes a visit to sort is need, speak with who mapped if not 100%

 

Does no one know anything about the Solaris ecu?????

 

Here you go

Welcome to the Solaris web site

Thanks Banny.........a well known name in the world of Subaru and mapping popped up on the Solaris forum..

A fairly new ecu aimed at the high end of motorsport it seems.

 

I have a simtec fitted words cant describe how good it is over the standard ECU ,mine was fitted buy Steve at TEG Sport front page
