Hi all

Can anyone tell me if s bugeye sti simtek will fit a blob eye sti please ?

Cheers

 

Why do you want one mate , what's wrong with your ecu
You do know your standard ecu can be mapped with most of the features you could want
Anti lag
Launch control
Switchable maps

 

i wouldn't want launch or anti lag myself, its just pub talk unless its agressive enough to break your car lol

that said, yeah ecuteck map is an option and cheaper thena simtek, simtek has specific versions for different year cars so can be got for any

 

Was planning on this myself but going for the cheaper option and a superrom map off andy carr. ask your mapper though as he would probably tell you if it would fit

 

Cheers for the info but I'm well aware of that thanks

 

Have got both original and ecutek ecu's

 

Why would you want a simtek for a bug or blob
I can't see the advantage

Genuine question btw , not questioning your choice

One thing I do know I wouldn't pay for ecutek if hell had me , when a good mapper can get the same results with o/s mapping , it don't make sense

 

Tha advantage of using a 'proper' ecu is that the resolution of ignition/fuel etc is better, the mapper can trim the map to a better overall map. A std ecu works ok but the drivabilty of an aftermarket ecu will ultimately be better. Assuming the mapper spends the time and effort on all aspects of the map, e.g start up and idle, part throttle etc etc. You would be suprised how many mappers dont spend the time on all aspects of the mapping.

 

Agreed about the ecutek. I paid peanuts for my license second hand and was the right option at the right time for me. I'm aware open source has good functions and although any good mapper can map the original Ecu. But as said above a improved Ecu such as simtek or Solaris offers a little more proven option. But we will see. Currently still looking into all areas do a choice is yet to be made.

 

just had Andy Carr map my 05 sti wide track with his maff less map with l/c and a/l
wow it drives nice ,good responce too.took his time to map it until he was happy.
it, was good to have someone explain what they were doing awell top bloke
money wise it was good to,less than half the price of a stand alone ecu (simtek)
if it just a fast road car with the odd track day i would speak to Andy

 

Switching to aftermarket ECU has advantages of additional and more advanced version of features as well as can also allow more fine tunign of the map.

which you go for is a toss up between cost and features, personaly i would go syvecs over simtek or Alcatek as its now called, theres a few £100 difference but for me its worth it.

 

Yes it will

 

Nice simple answer. Just what the OP wanted

 

Say what you see, see what you say

 

Boyd, SN doesn't allow easy concise answers - why use three words when a thousand will do just as well.

 

 

Thanks Simon

 

Good to see you back in a scoob again matey

Cheers

Why has it now become wrong to ask a question ?

How come on a thread I started , I didn't get a straightforward yes or no
no one said just give the op an answer he needs ( and some replies i got were way off topic )

Yet here we have another case of the shepherd speaks and all the little forum sheep jump in behind him

It Makes me p**s

 

do i detect a little bit of animosity for the "god like" independent mappers on SN?

 

No not at all , like I've said before there are two or three types on here
Those that know there stuff
Those that think they know there stuff
And then the dangle berries that hang on the words , or **** of comments of the first mentioned
And if your not prepared to be any of the above you don't really get a word in

Ooooh yeah well said or yeah your so good , you're my hero

Hang on I'm gonna be sick

 

Wheres your thread? I havent used my three...... Damn have now
Lol. Serious what question do you have thats left unanswered?

 

Lol my question was answered Mate , the answer was simtek ect had higher resolution
So from someone's question I got to learn somthing
Would be a pretty boring world with a yes / no answer all the time
Do you not agree
I Can't see the harm as long as the op gets his question answered and a few little snippets of info pop up along the way
Thought that was the point of a forum

 

Totally agree

I had my tongue firmly in my cheek

 

Baa!

 

moo!

 

 

Come on , I did that on my thread
Now imitate a dangle berry ,

 

Nice to meet you last week Cracking car mate and the power delivery is amazing considering its standard.
