stants Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Been offered this ecu today, it's out of a v3 ra so I know it's mapped for 100ron but I'm guessing mine is anyway being an import. So should I stay away and keep my money or is it worth a punt to pop in my car and risk some serious worry and possible melt down both financially and mentally ? What turbo and injectors did the ra have ? Just thinking it's cheaper than an esl board but may not be in long run
stants Posted December 16, 2014 Author Posted December 16, 2014 Yeah plugs match, cheers mate good sensible answer, I was only clutching at straws really, you know when Someone goes ah I've got this and all kinds of possibilities were going through my head, mainly involving loads of det and tears and money vs some more boost haha. Think I'll try and get my hands on a spare 4w ecu send it to esl then save up for a map
quit Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 I know mocom charge 409 to remap mine Or they supply the software for 249
stants Posted December 16, 2014 Author Posted December 16, 2014 I've not spoken to Duncan yet but it was around 600 for the board and map. Sadly I just don't have the funds to get it all done at once at the moment. The misses has other ideas as to where the money should be going
quit Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 im hoping a mate who can remap vw's can do mine! Activate ANTI LAG!! HAHAHA i want it in a kitt voice tho 2
quit Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 will a impreza ecu work? I might have a spare eculabs one coming up next month mate
stants Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 Not sure if mine will work with your, is it a UK ecu ? I know some people on scabby net have said they won't work without keys etc. I'll look into it mate what's the cracks with mapping fairly easy ?
stants Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 Scrub that idea mate, I'm odb1 so it looks like it's not going to be an option, thanks for the offer though
quit Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 ok mate you normally need to swap the crank sensor wire over with jdm - uk !
stants Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 Looks good bit of kit though just Been on website, shame though looks like esl is the only way. It's gonna cost an extra 75 quid if I want an odb1 cable [emoji35]
stants Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 Yeah thought about that but the ones on eBay are going for silly money. If I can send my ecu off to esl they'll install and flash any base map on I want, the foz prodrive one seems to be popular but I think that uses vf turbo so I'm trying to find out what's the closest UK map with 380cc injectors and Td04 that would suit the car until a live map can be done, failing that I may just get the credit card out and say !Removed! it !
Rick 2014 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 im hoping a mate who can remap vw's can do mine! Activate ANTI LAG!! HAHAHA i want it in a kitt voice tho Im having antilag fitted to mine lol not telling the missus though lol
savage bulldogs Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 My 97 v3 uk turbo used a tdo4 and grey 380's [emoji6]
Rick 2014 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 An impreza ecu will plug in and start it up Andy car told me the other week that's on a UK car though don't no about import.
quit Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Depends what ecu , you can swap the crank sensor wires over jdm - uk will work
Rick 2014 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Andy only told me about impreza my99-00 on 99-00 foresters lol
quit Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Not worth buying a ecutek ecu anyway unless it's dirt cheap
