Ive recently bought a uk wagon on a M plate. although its quick what can i do to it to make it go faster. Its got full decat and blitz airfilter (think its got TD05)
Looking for cheap sensible mods, what do you peeps suggest is my next step.
should I get a scoobyecu from the clinic?
and/or apexi AVCR etc....

cheers in advance guys

 

faster as in top end or faster as in acceleration?
What is cheap? different people different definitions.
Less than a £100 then a dawes type manual boost controller just to up your boost a little. Also if you have a td05 make sure that you have an ecu that came with the td05 as standard (so the ecu boost characteristics match the turbo's characteristics)

 

putting a jap ecu from 95-95 would make a difference. A Z4 ECU was standard on WRX's from this time period and has 260ps out of the box. Add it to your decat and its probably around 275PS. Have no experience of putting jap WRX ecu's into UK cars though.

 

YES CHEERS GUYS, CHEAP AS IN £1000 AND AFTER ACCELERATION POWER AS OPPOSED TO TOP END. I THINK ECU IS STANDARD, IS THE PRODRIVE CLASSIC ONE ANY GOOD?
CHEERS

 

You'll be running 11.47psi. The Z4 will run 12.7psi and the Prodrive 13.64psi (which is based on the Z4 map).
The Prodrive ECU is rated at 255BHP running with a standard exhaust (with Cat still in place).
A ScoobyECU can run upto around 16psi, depending who supplies the map.

 

can you reccomend anyone that does the scoobyECU around B'ham or anywhere else ive heard about this but cant find any info or suppliers.cheers

 

ive got the scoobyecu fitted in my wagon
mine is fairly rapid off the mark
and its mapped for 16 psi

okay where did ya get it from i want 1.cheers mate. ahhh 5cby it you. ok brummy lad youll have to take me out in it.

 

http://www.scoobyecu.co.uk/
check ur pm i got something for you

 

 

thanks guys ill email them

 

scott.T do you supply these?????

 

Yes, but not the ScoobyECU adaptor board referenced in the above link anymore. But genuine 27C1028 chips.
The ScoobyECU is the name we came up with for the adaptor that seems to of been adopted 'in name' for any pre96 type remap.

 

you lost me after "yes but not the" bit. okay do you supply,fit and map? and if so how much am i looking at all in.cheers

 

Supply yes, fitting is easy and DIY.
Map supplied is dependant on make/model/spec.
Price.....whatever it goes for on Ebay. Starting price is always £60.

 

Hi scott i run the same model with a panel filter mid decat and back box what sort of increase would you expect and would it take a downpipe later on in my plans? sorry for hijacking the thread.

 

Running 14psi gave my old UK car 255bhp with just a panel filter, centre decat and rear box. A full decat would release a little more.
This was only running 14psi though, not the 16psi that is used now.

With decat and 16psi I would expect a UK car to run 270BHP+, with headers maybe nearer 285/290BHP.

Some of the early STi's running 16psi and even a few WRX have been 300BHP+ and 290lbft.
These are only rated at between 260ps (Post Sept 94 WRX) and 275ps (STi 2) as standard.

 

Thanks for that scott when will you be listing on ebay mate and do you list on a regular basis?

 

You do these for the a 1994 WRX? what sort of power would be achieved with a 3" de-cat downpipe, standard centre section and cat and an afterburner backbox along with your chip?

 

I'll probably bung one on in a couple of day's as there is a bit of competition on there at the moment from esl performance.

I'm not sure who they are or what their rep with Scoob's is like. They 1st appeared on Ebay around Christmas and have popped up again recently.
They seem to have jumped on the Pre96 Subaru mapping - Ebay band wagon.

 

Ok mate will keep my eye on it

 

Check if it really has got a TD05 for a start. Unless I'm mistaken that might be a TD04 as the classic WRX wagons always produced less power and certainly UK cars did. If it is an '04 then it'll be pushing it to even get 300bhp out of it from what I've heard.

 

mmmmm got me thinking too now!!!!!!

is this the same as scooby ecu??

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Subaru-Impreza...QQcmdZViewItem

 

Got me thinking too. I know i do far too much of it! Smell the brain fumes.
Ive spent a good deal of the last 2 years making my car faster. However in reality i cant go more than 80mph without dragging a copper. And on the roads in yorshire there is speed cam hell. Im starting to figure that unless i do drag races or track days i need a car that will do 100mph max but 0-60 in about 2.5 seconds. Is this possible in a scoob? Gearing etc?
Dont really wanna go for the NOS i have 80k km on the clock.

 

pretty happy its a TD05 mate, sure early wagons (pre 97) came with td05.

cant we buy these direct from you rather than ebay (i hate ebay)?

 

Hi mate i beleave uk spec cars of that age are TD05 but JDM arnt maybe scott can confirm this for you.

 

ANYONE?

 

UK Wagons TD05 and same ECU as a Saloon, run upto 16-16.5psi.
WRX Wagons TD04 and require a different map running around 14.5psi.

P.S The chip linked to above could be one of my old ones or could be someone elses. It will not be suitable for all models as stated. Some models can share a generic chip but some can't.

P.P.S I only sell through ebay as it fits in better with me i.e I can sell as and when I like and as and when I have stock (as these genuine chips are rare and hard to come by). I used to sell direct and through the Scoobynet shop but I got so many enquiries it was taking up too much of my time and stock was not readily available. I keep thinking of knocking this on the head, but as long as I can get a dribble of blank devices, I will keep dribbling them onto Ebay. Oh ! and I havn't had a Pre96 Impreza for 3 years now.

 

Cheers for that scott.

 

Will you sell direct mate?
