im new to scooby ownership and was hoping to get some advice on my 94 wrx import........right my cars pushing out 285bhp at the mo and i want to get it to 320bhp so what ineed to know is is getting it live remapped the way you get it to this power??it has a full decat blitz exaust upgraded headers and a k and n induction kit and a hks blow off valve and a front mount intercooler,also ive noticed it has yellow injectors and im sure it has a td05 turbo on it..well thats what redline tuning said it looked like..any advice you could give would be much appereciated.thanks

Firstly, how do you know you have 285bhp?
Secondly, unless the ECU as been changed or had a daughter board fitted, it cannot be mapped.

i had it on the rolling road last week and it was 285.4 @14psi and the bloke said for 550pound he would change the ecu and live remap it but wanted some advice 1st before i go ahead with it as i dont want to throw money away.

I thought you could re-map the the 94 and 95 import cars but not the 96 and 97?
or am i wrong because i want to do this aswell?

A 3 port boost solenoid would be useful & a Z32 MAF. Power FC is a good ecu to go for.

93~96 options are ESL daughter board
replacement ecu such as Apexi, SimTek etc

Your ECU cannot be mapped as such so you need either the ESL as outlined by JGM above or you need to go for an aftermarket ECU. I suggest you start by finding out what the guy who rolling roaded your car proposes.
There are a number of options starting with a secondhand Apexi, New ESL which will work out around £550 fitted and mapped or a new Simtek fitted and mapped for around £800 + vat. The Simtek is a very capable ECU and there is a cost option for antilag and launch.

Id guess that it was an ESL daughterboard that was proposed for £550.

yeah he mentioned putting another ecu in there or somthing like that so that it could be live mapped but i dont really no much at all about these cars so ur the experts so any advice you give me is really helpful.thanks

ESL board will be the cheapest option but be aware that your MAF may reach it's limits before you hit your targets depending on what rolling road you use, closely followed by your injectors and MAP sensor.
To see the real potential of a 16G you'd need to run a set of 550cc injectors combined with either a later MAP sensor or aftermarket boost controller along with a solution for the MAF limit, whether it be a larger MAF or MAP based ECU such as the Simtek.

i have a 1993 wrx, got fmic, 440s, apexi filter, full decat,fpr,td05 16g and simtec fitted am seeing 294BHP 261llbft, would love to know how i could get up to the 320 mark?

more aggressive map.

iank07

yeah ive got an uprated fuel pump fmic yellow injectors which i think are the upgraded ones not sure tho also got a full decat an induction kit hks blow off valve a tdo5 16g an uprated headers i think and im running 285 i have an old rr print out ov it at 291 but dont no why its lost abit ov hp,not sure what ecu ive got coz i aint had time to have a look yet but i was told that a live remap would get me to 320bhp

GC8

I think that ESL are working on a MAP solution, which I will be very interested to see.

Andy mentioned it in a recent post I believe, but he was having a little spaz-out about the contents of a post, so Im not certain.

iank07

right i just had a look at the ecu and its got proav on top of it if that helps??

not really it, you need to tell us what is inside, prova is a jap tuning firm and can be very aggressively mapped, but that doesn't mean to say it hasn't had the board/chip changed for something else hence why i have asked for inside picture.

He could if it was an official release which is why I hadn't mentioned it. I have an RA here running a development ESLMAP board but haven't been informed that it's for general release as yet.

To the OP don't be put off with varying dyno results they will vary from day to day, dyno to dyno, operator to operator. It's not unusual to obtain a print out one day, say post remap, then lose a few horses the next time you pay a visit

iank07

can this prova ecu be live mapped at all??or is the only way to get more power another ecu or esl board?many thanks
