Tuning a 97 WRX
As per title I have a 1997 WRX that I belive cant be 'mapped/chipped' so to speak.I know very little about this kind of thing but wondered if I got an ecu from another year car would that work or do I need something to work along side my cars current ecu?

Your standard ecu isn't mappable without a ecu tek (like a chip) unfortunately you cant swap Ecus from a later mappable model as the loom plugs are different, how ever you can buy a aftermarket ecu, apexi fc, simtek, syveccs etc which will plug in to your loom and make the car mappable, but the aftermarket ecu can't just be plugged in and away you go, you have to have a map on it to run the car

Full OEM Diagnostic control codes.
International dealer support network.
Standard hot and cold start compensations.
Closed loop narrowband lambda control (idle and light cruise).

All Sensors and actuators exposed, will work with any specification
Installation Service available
Motorsport features to follow: ALS, LC, Flat Shift
SAVE MONEY - GET MORE!
The OEM JECS ECU is the most capable ECU you can use with your Version 1 -4 Impreza!
Consider the amount Subaru will have spent developing and testing it specifically for that model range and compare that to the likely budget of an aftermarket manufacturer.
Find another ECU with useful real world features such as closed loop knock control so comprehensive that it can retard ignition, add fuel and modify boost.
How many after market ECUS feature full active diagnostics and 3D boost mapping?
The only major disadvantage of the OEM JECS ECU was its inability to be reflashed. Thats where the ESL Live daughterboard comes in. It allows the numbers in the OEM ECU to be changed to control fuelling, ignition, boost, sensor and actuator swaps (MAF, MAP, turbo, injector, etc). ESL Live will grow with any future modifications you have planned. It is the complete solution for any engine specification.
The best part - At £295+VAT and mapping it is very much cheaper than any of the aftermarket replacement ECUs, and a national distributor network means local support for the product. Don't be fooled into paying over the odds for a replacement ECU that is less capable than the one you already have in the car. This is a rare situation where you really can save money yet get more.
A national distribution network consisting of all the UK's top Subaru tuning experts is in place to ensure local support.
