Subaru786 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I am getting a used engine for a subaru impreza turbo 2000,1999. As I am getting my engine changed i will be upgrading my turbo to a vf 28 turbo and an STI top mount intercooler, my question is would it run fine without a map am i able to drive it as normal or do i HAVE to get a map? The person putting the engine in says it is fine and does not NEED a map any views and help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyc Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 It will need a map, and if you're changing the engine it'll be a waste of money if you melt it.... Sent from the moon using telepathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I'd be a bit concerned if they're suggesting it doesn't need a map for a bigger turbo. With a turbo and intercooler swap it will have to be mapped. Also with the engine swap are you fitting the same injectors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Unless he is changing the Ecu then you need to map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subaru786 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Yes i will be keeping the same injectors. The mechanic says he has done them before and they drive fine without a map. A map is only if you want the most gains out of it otherwise it will still drive. Abit clueless but still sourcing a good engine for good value.

Tidgy Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 He's totaly clueless mate, walk away and find a proper specialist. after those change its will need a map, no 'to get the best gains', it will need mapping to stop it from self destructing.
