Got my03 wrx mapped today its now running 330/330 with the performance map and 220/220 on the economic map so very happy, what was a nice touch is you can switch between them using the rear demister button, I was very impressed with the service

 

an extra 100bhp at the touch of a button

 

whats the spec mate?

 

Vf35 Turbo pink injectors walbro fuel pump, still got a sports cat in the downpipe was told if it was full decat probs would have got another 10bhp also sti topmount undertray and scoop

 

Stupid question, but does this mean that anytime you want to demist your rear window it will change your map and you will only have 220/220

 

No mate to change the map you need to be on full throttle and you double push the button, this can be done in any gear or rpm or even with the engine off and just the electrics on, I think its a great touch loving it so far

 

ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

 

Is it twin maps or twin boost levels?

 

Double push?

My old 05 STI, all you needed was to turn it on with 100% throttle

Twin boost only from memory - again that was on my STI

 

Who mapped it ? Mr F ?

 

[QUOTE=B0DSKI;10254878]Who mapped it ? Mr F ?

Yes was Mr Forrest who mapped it and I've no complaints,

 

good one, will get my STI mapped by Mr. F soon
same wiv dual mapp

 

did it go on the dyno?

 

Love the idea of a duel map. Being a newbie I had no idea you could do this. Did your mapper sort the switch out for you while doing your map?

 

If you ever run one full tank on 330hp and one on 220hp can you post up the results? I'd like to know the difference in mpg/miles per tank

 

Would be interesting to see.

I think I would make a point of trying it to see how much difference it really made if it was mine.

 

I like the idea of one of those aeroplane switches! A big red one. Labeled Danger.

 

Whats wrong with just your right foot?

 

Any idea if a 2005 wrx ecu can accept a switchable map ??

 

It's unlikely to be a full dual map, more a reduced boost mode using the rear screen demist and WOT. Yes Jono300, it could be ECuTeK'd into yours.

There are more fancy ways of mapping the Bi
ug / Blob Denso ECU but the above is more likely

I've had mine enabled since Bob Rawle mapped it about 7 years ago but havn't used it

so you can only have the 'off the lights' acceleration with the 220 map? and you can only change to the 330 when your on full throttle? what happens when you slow back down, does it automaticaly change back to the 220?

 

Your either on 220 or 330 but can switch between whenever you like

 

Ignition on (engine not running), depress throttle to floor and press the rear screen demister............toggles between the two boost settings on mine.

Shaun

 

thanks for clearing that up for me

 

Don't REALLY see the point in this to be honest...kind of like the M button.

There'd be a time I'd want the big power and it wouldn't be there...now that would **** me off.

If your happy though thats the main thing

 

Okay cheers yep already dismissed the high / low boost option within another thread tonight as just something that will probably never be used apart from if the wife is given the car or teh car is in the garage to be looked at and you dont want the new trainee to have a blast up the dual carriagway in your scooby !!

no liked the idea off a dual map ie economy map and performance map so you reckon this would not be possible on an open source map and would it improve economy over the stndard base map ??

 

Sorry jonno, the last paragraph doesn't make sense..

Are you after a true dual map ?

Shaun

 

Something like this ?

Okay thanks shaun just skimmed thru your link but appears my 2005 wrx cannot accept this particular rom anyway so looks like I can forgett about a proper twin map set up !! no as I say I am with what most folk are saying regards dual boost ie. in itself its virtually worthless and would never personally use it. but what I did like the sound off was a dual map ie.a map that you would use 99% off the time that would be based around best mpg figures etc !! and another map that you could switch in that would give best all round performance.

in saying that some folk say that a performance remap can actualy improve your cars mpg figures providing the extra performance the remap gives is not actually used ??!!

so looks like my only option on my 2005 wrx is either switchable boost which again is off no real use to me or get it remaped for performance and just hope it improves mpg figures during most everday type driving !!

The WRX left the factory pretty much crippled so as not to get anywhere near STi territory in lots of ways.....transmission, brakes,interior and the rest.

The Denso ECU on the WRX is very capable but left the factory in a similar crippled state, mapped for a huge amount of safety, low boost and lots of fuel thrown in to avoid det and aid cooling for crap fuel.

In my opinion for the WRX with mods, dual maps are not really necessary......just get it mapped for max fuel / ignition/ boost efficiency and to save fuel just pootle around

It's what I do
