ven Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hi all,hope all are well :) I have a 2002 bugeye wrx and have replaced the back exhaust,K&N panel filter and looking for a safe flash of the ecu. I am ok mechanically ,but have no experience regarding flashing the ecu. Not bothered about pushing it to 280hp............etc,want it safe/reliable but a little extra poke. Not removed a cat but can be done if a must or even after the flash. Is there any one in the manchester/bolton area who would be willing to help me please. Of course cash waiting for their time and what they are happy with :) Many thanks ven :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Why does it need flashing ? Fault codes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash007ks Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 or do you mean remap that is similar to the PPP map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ven Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hi,sorry for late reply Yes PPP re-map I beleive can be done flashing the ECU (could be wrong). There are no fault codes etc and runs fine . Had all belts and plugs done a few K ago. Just wondered if anyone around the area might have it on their laptop :-) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 You need to have a ecutek based remap mate , There are a few up north , think stants is having his done by race dynamix who are mobile and well known Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Been done mate went down the esl route as my97. Rick is in the lancs area and was having Andy Carr do his I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ven Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thanks guys,I was under the impression there was a map that people could use via the obd2 port. Maybe I am getting mixed up with open source maps. Sure I read up that it can be obtained and its a standard map(not custom like Duncan and Rob do). A basic PPP map with the few mods. Looks like a custom re-map then is the only way. Mobile is best as I am not bothered about rolling road and read outs. Don't want to go down that road!!! As I know it never ends and things break (including the bank) :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 There is open source available for new age carberric ? I think it's called. May be worth sending a pm to mfnick as he had his blob mapped and I'm sure he didn't use ecutek route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ven Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Ok,thanks for that stants :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 On classics the PPP is within the ecu and you swap them over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ven Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 On classics the PPP is within the ecu and you swap them over Right,maybe that was also adding to my confusion,i was under the impression for some reason it could be easily done via the obd2 with the PPP map being a generic one..................providing someone had the map or similar on their lap top. It does not have to be the PPP exact,just a similar map if makes sense. Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Not unless they got mapping software like eculabs or datalogit I would never ever try a generic map off someones laptop with these engines , unless you fancy spending a couple grand on a new engine build Even the Apexi base map is shocking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ven Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Right ,much appreciated on the advice, will sort a re-map from a reputable place at some point . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
