New built 2.5 bottom end/nitrided crank, acl bearings and genuine sti pistons/rods, work carried out at scooby clinic, with my v4 heads, vf24 turbo, hks fmic, nurspec R system, walbro 255 fuel pump, everything else is standard.
The engine has been ran in a thousand miles before i got it and its in the process of being fitted.
will my standard 2.0 ECU be fine to run it till i get it mapped?simtek etc....
Any help would be appreciated as i get my car back in a few days and i dont want to break it again as the bottom end went on the 2.0 within weeks of me getting it... gutted

Technically it would start and run but the fueling would be way out and not really ideal to drive it, Unless off boost for mapping day only

andy beffro

cool.so will it be ok to drive from the garage home???like 8miles or so,
as i want andy c to come fit me a simtek ecu and map it corect for me ;]
just dont want it braking on way home ;[

I've run mine which is same since August due to not having chance to map it. I know my ecu had a couple of things done to it but couldn't say what other than boost reduced to 0.7 bar. I've just had to be very careful. Got a simtek going in on Friday. Hope this helps and nice car you've got there

Who are you going to get to map it?? Ideally as Scoobyclinic built the engine would be best to get them to map it. Probably best to speak or e-mail them.

cool thanx for the reply mate,,and yes its a nice little type r ;]
as for the standart ecu,,did you say yours was standard????and did u just drive it really slow as under 3k etc so not in boost???
only thing i want to do tbh is drive it home from the garage,8ish miles
till i can get andy carr to come mne to fit a simtek for me,,as he has gave me a price,,just waiting for a reply off him on when he can fit and mapp it for me ;]
as bought the 2.5r off mattyb on here,,with the paperwork etc,,scooby clinic did it 5mnths go,,new nitraded cranc,acl race bearings and standard sti rods and pistons,like i said its had its 1k run in,so its ready for a propa mapp now,

The was standard ecu mate. I was advised to run it at no more than 4.5 k for first 1k then after that I've run it a few times to 6k but not many times I've just kept to the 4.5k. Mines getting mapped by Andy on Friday along with 2 others.

The you should be mate just take it steady. Only thing I've got different apart from updated internals is I'm running vf 35 instead of the 24 mate. Will let you know though.

As you're still running the MAF, it will start run and drive just fine, if you stick to the speed limits and don't go above .5 bar it will see you through till you get it mapped.

andy beffro

spot on ;] happy days thanx for the info lads,new exedy clutch going in today and the engine back in so hope to have it back by tomorow :]

andy beffro

I ran my 2.5 with standard ecu and larger injectors, it was an ok drive, just stay off boost , dont even try, you can keep up with traffic at 0 PSI until you get the ecu and map.

andy beffro

cool mate,,ill get it back monday,,and ill just take it easy on way home,,
ill prob just stick it in the garden till i get andy carr to come fit the simtek ecu and mapp it for me,,what sort of bhp could i expect from it with hks fmic,induction kit,nurspec r system,vf24 turbo,i no the turbos more forquick spool than top end power but be good to bo what to expect from it in bhp an torq terms

ukpaisley

depends on the injectors, 550cc and those mods 340 to 355

andy beffro

i think its on standard type r sti injectors,,what would they be???440s 550??

ukpaisley

iTrader: (4)

if you have 440s then expect to push them to 95% lol, might be worth using an FPR to raise the pressure and max the turbo out. On std injectors 320 ish, some do more.

440 yellows as standard

andy beffro
