Here we go again folks just a quick update, i got an email back from andy last night and all he said was that he didn't recognise the chip which is in my ecu and therefore could'nt map the car i emailed him back asking if i have any other options but still waiting to hear back from him ( he's a very busy man ) so my question is can anyone see what chip he's on about coz would have thought he would have told me it was standard if it hadn't been modified. Do you think the best option is an esl/ecu replacement. Cheers everyone

Will try them pal probs not till end of the month though as its the wifes birthday soon and i dont think the excuse of i never got you anything coz i've been buying parts for the scoob will wash with her lol also going to croft for the btcc next week so thats more funds out the window. Thanks alot again savage you've been very helpfull, will keep you all posted on my progress

Exellent cheers mate . Was just having a look around ebay and your right the only injectors going around are from the later phase 2 models. Do you know where i'm likely to pick up some adaptors for them or will they just be on the bay aswell. I could always ask the guys at work as a couple of them look after rally cars and they may just have something kicking about.

Sound i,m still waiting to hear back from mr forrest so looks like i'll just be going ahead with the new esl/ecu and probs be looking into getting some injectors and a map sensor. Do these fit straight on or will i have to modify wiring etc for it all to work correctly, thanks again for all your help

Cheers for that savage, when i bought the car a couple of months ago the mods had already been done and the previous owner had said it had been mapped but had lost the printout ( which i was a bit dubious about ) but since the bodywork is solid and the engine runs sweet i took it as i'm planning on having the car for a good amount of years to come. I only really use the car at weekends as have an mondeo estate family bus to ferry the kids around dont want them to get their sticky fingers all over the scoob haha. Only bit of bother i have with the scoob is if i put my foot down into the axminster in 3rd and 4th it seems to be over boosting at around 5k rpm and it cuts the fuel ( i presume thats what its doing anyways ) the lamco boost guage thats fitted only reads upto 1.1 bar so unable to tell if its boosting higher and it also seems to run a bit rich but apart from that its running fine, could the airfilter and exhaust be causing it to do this.

Thanks for the advice guys, might have a look on the bay and possibly scumtree aswell. Would an ecu from another classic which has an esl or ecu already mapped just plug and play or would i be looking at a remap to run with the mods i have on my car, if so would it just be worthwhile getting andy to fit a new one coz by the time you add the cost of a 2nd hand ecu and the price he charges for a remap the costs will be near enough the same. the mods i have on the car at the moment are an hks decat from turbo back, apexi performance cone filter, baileys dv and a walbro 255 fuel pump. Also how is this effecting the running of the car if its not been mapped already surely it will be affecting power output. Will i be causing any damage running around in it.

Oh well looks like its the £700 option then me thinks i'll just have to work a little harder haha, cheers for the reply stants

Heres the pics i took earlier

Hi everybody just a quick update, thats the pics of my ecu internals been sent off to andy and i'm holding out hope that the car has been mapped previously coz when i went to take the cover off the ecu i noticed that the screws which hold it on had already been off as they were slightly rounded off, fingers crossed i only have to pay for a remap and dyno run

That thing is a weapon by the looks of it my classic wont be anywhere near that. Think i'll have to get some overtime in to get the money saved up for the remap though

Ok thats cool i can see why his time coststhat much he seems to be a much sought after lad from what ive read

Thanks for letting me know that phillip he said in the email that he would either have to fit an esl chip or a new ecu at a cost of £700 supplied fitted and mapped so not sure if that price is just for the ecu but will find out more once i get a pic of the internals sent off to him on saurday. At least now i can say to him i kinda have an idea of how much the esl should be thanks again

Yeah heard nothing but good things about him and he's just a 40 mile drive away happy days

Excellent cheers guys i'll get to it on saturday and get the pics sent off. Hopefully its already got an esl interface so i dont have to shell out £700 for one or a new ecu

Afternoon everyone, im after a little bit of advice iv been speaking to andy forrest about getting my 1992 classic wrx mapped and he needs me to take a pic of the internals of the ecu to see if its still standard or not. Im just wondering if anyone could tell me where its located, a lad at work who prepares rally cars thinks its behind the passenger kick plate but he not sure. Thanks in advance for your help guys

Welcome to the club bud im just up the road in selkirk in the borders

Your right there tidgy they seem to have turned it right around just a shame mr potato is drving one of the scoobs i cant stand the man tbh, dont get me wrong he can drive its just his attitude and the way he knocks others off all the time if he cant get a pass done cleanly and i know rubbings racing but with him its more than rubbing, im a shedden fan being from scotland and i know its probs swearing on this site but i do follow honda yuassa however matt neal is just as bad cant stand him either. Good to see turkington doing well again i will be at croft for the next race cant wait should be really good, croft is a good fast circiut

Welcome to the club the car looks good. If its been sitting for 6years and you have no reciepts i would get the belts changed as the rubber may have deterioted over the years ot will give piece of mind if nothing else also be cheaper than having toreplace the engine

Looks a good fit you've done well

Happy days a subaru levorg on pole for the first race at oulton park tomorrow go urself colin turtleton hopefully no fires this time

Hello and welcome thats a very nice motor you've got there in one of the best colours

Not sure just know that they're coming to edinburgh from ireland and spending sunday night in edinburgh then moving on the next day. They have a facebook page and also a website but it does'nt seem to update i just know they will be in edinburgh from around 6pm, dont know the route they taking from getting off the ferry to edinburgh though

Working!!! Thats not so good mate should hopefully be quite good though. Theres seemingly stuff on thoughout the day around the mound and gardens before all the cars come in but we will just be up to see the cars

The gumball returns to edinburgh this sunday with cars arriving on princes street from 6pm. I will be there with the camera to see some amazingly expensive cars, hey we can all dream folks. Anyone else in scotland fancy it? should be quite a good evening

Yeah plato gave an interview bouts lunchtime and was saying because the team never really got started on the car till after xmas the first few rounds were just tests for the chassis and drivetrain and they should become stronger as the season goes on, turkington done ok he got p11 and its ment to be dry tomorrow so hopefully he can make up a few places maybe a top ten finish
