hi just brought a mines ecu for my classic 1996 wrx import it changes the boost from 0.9 to 1.2 will my car be safe to run at 1.2???dont know if its a big difference thought id see what people think of this ecu engine is standard apart from panel filter hks nur spec exhaust downpipe and uprated headers always ran on v power too thanks ryan

 

The mines ecu are thought of as being dangerous to run as they are for 100 Ron fuel and very aggressive ignition timing.

They are not reccomended as are quite on the edge, mind you some cars have been known to run ok and there are a couple of stories of pistons melting etc etc

When I first bought my car I got one of these Ecu's but decided not to fit it and glad I didn't.

At the very least go to a rolling road to check the fuellings ok.

You will need to run v power plus octane booster minimum, anything less and your seriously risking your engine.

 

Chances are, its going to blow your engine to smithereens.

 

I had a Mines ecu on my car for 2 years and never had a problem. Some people will say there quite aggressive but as long as you keep to 99ron its all good. Mine was only a U8 ecu which raised boost from 0.6 to 0.9. Now i'm running a Prova chipped z4 which boosts to 1.1.

This was my old ecu

 

If in doubt, put the car back on the rollers mate

 

+1,i just sold one on here a few months ago as my wife has an apexi ecu now,was on my wifes car for 4 years with no problems what so ever,but she does run v power all of the timethats the only advice i would pass on to you only run the good stuff in her,i meen your car and you should be fine.

 

I'd love to put the mine's chip in my reader and see what the real values are!
So far I have a Prodrive tuned 6k ecu, and a Prova tuned z4 ecu.
Anyone want to sell me one?

here is a prova map:

 

my car ran a mines ecu from before it was imported and ran sweet as a nut.only sold when i got the car as want to go simtek route.
