Re tune

[subdriver]

Hello all,

 

When i had a Range Rover a chip was added to the engine. It was just a small box of tricks that could be turned on and off which gave another 30 BHP when needed for towing.

 

With my Suburu i'd like it to be tuned for economy but with a similar power box that i can turn on or off when needed for performance power setting, Have you had this done and how well does it work?

I think Stants has a twin map system for better fuel economy (could be wrong though), I inagine this could apply for what you're after too though?

My car does have an eco mode button.

I do indeed however my 2nd map is for emergency supermarket fuel if i ever get stuck without Shell garage, it's an esl board which is only usable for cars up to 1998 so may not be of any use to newer members, have to look at the other options, what year is your car mate ?

Carberry open source mapping may be worth checking out, mfnick has it on his sti, think you can have twin maps and will be about 300,

The car.

 

......Decenber 2003 2.0L B4.

 

Having the option of a setting that lets you use an alternative fuel sounds good.

Drop duncan graham (racedynamix) an email see if he does carberry software, or tell him what your looking for and he'll advise you of options. He travels all over the country too

would it not require a remap?

[stants]

Which bit tom ?

Carberry is essentially the same as the other mapping software but no licence required, hence why ecutek and others require you to part with 150quid for the privilage

Hi Stants,

 

So are you saying that to tune your car you need a Tuning licence?

 

For now i would just like my legacy to run on British grade fuel.

I went to a garage today but was informed they only done 2wd.

Depends what your ecu will allow, mine only had two options open source or a standalone replacement ecu. Yours can be re flashed directly, one of the software companies developed the software and you pay 150 for the licence then map, others like carberry are again open source so you pay for the map
