Youngy Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 How do I check if it's remapped and where is the ecu located and you will be getting a lot of stupid questions from me has I haven't a clue about these cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quit Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Got a receipt for a map might be a good start or if it's a sp Ecu ( has a sticker ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngy Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Right I looked under the plate where the ecu is and all it says on it is v5 so does that mean anything to anyone and can I swap that out for a better one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 ifs its been remapped to run 250 bhp you will have a ecutek license only way to tell is to take it to a ecutek mapper , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveuk260.Esq Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 matt is right, to get 250bhp out of 99 2000 it would have been remapped. v5 is a standard ecu which as matt said can be remapped if you had a license, did the seller provide any receipts that would state payment for ecutek license and did he provice a dyno sheet.

Scoobyghost Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Not far from me. I'm up near bluewater. There is a place in Canterbury called East Kent Subaru. He's a respected breaker but quite knowledgeable. For mapping I used Duncan Graham @racedynamix. He visits eks onelce a month too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
