Anyone got this ecu installed in the impreza.
what do ye think of it,
i dont mean how it works as an ecu. iv read all about it.
i mean the anti lag and launch control.
how loud is it

 

Very loud:
YouTube - Subaru impreza type RA antilag

Had mine in for about 6 months and so far no real problems. It was mapped at Teg on there rolling road and made 325 brake.

 

ya seen that one but it nowhere near as load as east coast custom impreza and just wonder why.
he was parkd and revd it and the bangn was unreal loud.
was this the antilag
iv the simtec orderd and getn it in the 1st.

 

You can have it set as loud as you like, however there is a trade off between this and turbo life....

Steve

 

perfect.
have a new td05 20g turbo to go with it.

 

the SimTek is an excellent piece of kit.

as steve says 2 anti-lag settings dependant on how much noise you want, love it.

 

Another satisfied customer here...

didn't know there were 2 ALS maps....

how do you switch between them then ?

Cheers

 

if you have anti-lag the als map should switch dependant on high or low boost map.

 

I don't have different boost maps..... just different fuel maps....

and presumably one map for als

 

i would have thought the different fuel maps would have different als maps, check with your mapper.

 

Hya,

I have a 1994 wrx can I put this ecu on my car, or is the car to old, I know the ecu can not be re-mapped only chipped.

If so what price are these ecu going for?

Thanks Mark

 

With ALS, about £1200 fitted and mapped

 

back to the original question.....

my antilag is mild (as per Steve)...... only put it on a hand full of times..... and it does give big bangs...

not used it as it should be used though (competition).........

Launch control.... not had it yet...... need to get my ecu sent up to Steve.... it's just finding the damn time to be without a car....

I really do fancy having the launch control.... but it'll probably wear off after i've used it a few times....

 

I would have thought it would come with Launch cntrl aswell at that price

 

Steve, do you sell and map yourself? I know there is a "Steve" somewhere that does, Steve Simpson IIRC?

Planning on getting a Simtek in early '09 as part of a circa 400bhp upgrade to MY95 WRX

 

Or your gearbox gives way......unless you have a PPG box or something even more robust obviously!

 

so i can have a low and high boost, and also switch on the anti lag and have 2settings on this loud and not so loud.
it fits all .
93-96 impreza =1,100 fitted and mapped
92-97 with anti-lag and launch con =1,300 fitted and mapped
im paying 1,400 on a 99 sti

 

I've covered my base with a PPG

 

its your ecu so...ya ...simpson and alcatek?=simtek.

 

all resonable prices and i dont mind payn the bit extra that i am cos there
no mappers over here and the places that do are cowboys.

 

didn`t realise the ecu had to be sent back to have the launch control fitted, thought it was a software update the mapper could do

 

I didn't have the option installed when installed/mapped......

easy option is to post the ECU to have the upgrade......

Royal mail do all the hard work

 

Entirely depends on which version of board and software you are on Tiny , I'll pull your map up in a bit and have a look to see which version you are on...
We had to do the same with JD's as it was the very first 2k ecu...

 

ok cheers for that, it was installed around september but I`m sure Marty can find out

Thanks

 

Steve,
If you are Steve Simpson I am sure you are aware of the commercial policy we have on ScoobyNet. If you would like to flaunt your wares on ScoobyNet you are only allowed to do this if you are a supporting advertiser. Please PM the Webmaster if you would like details of this.

 

Yes, I am Steve Simpson and I am aware of your commercial policy.However my posts regarding the pricing of the SimTek ECU were made in response to queries regarding said prices.I felt in the circumstances that,as I was in a position to point out the correct prices, it would not have been in the members interests to not do so; particularly as there was a possibility that someone could have been paying more than the RRP....I didn't regard this as unauthorised advertising; merely ensuring SN members were getting the correct and up to date information.

If you see this differently then I can only apologise and promise to try harder next tiime!

Regards
Steve

 

Steve,
Unfortunately promoting what your product does and how much it costs is far from anything other than commercial advertising.

Like I said, if you would like details on packages we can provide to enable you to do this please get in touch.

 

Ok, but you should then also delete the post which incorrectly gives an over-inflated price of the SimTek; as you are now in possession of the correct prices.....otherwise I might think you are favouring the H...RA ECU. LOL.

The posts regarding my views on the relative merits and dangers of having a "loud" ALS were there purely to give a technical view on this issue.I thought that this is what this forum was for.I believe it would be in everyones best interest if these posts were re-instated -the technical point that "louder bangs" can reduce turbo life are valid whatever ECU is being used.

That post has been unremoved, with the commercial bit edited out which I trust you understand.

the correctly over inflated prices iv stated were including postage of the ecu, the lad organising it setting up a mapper and flying the uk mapper over here
and a putting him up in a hotel for him for a weekend.
so i find it reason able.
sure itd be cheaper if i bought it and could map it myself in the back yard.
