I have the above item currently on a MY00. I'm looking for £450 + std ECU from a MY99/00 in exchange for the PPP ECU.

Coulster

what boost are you running with this?

Cheers

I have one on my MY99 and the boost is running at 1.1 bar but can peak higher at times
before that went on the standard ECU boost was 0.95 bar (never quite made 1 bar)

You can get one of these from grade A for £250 + vat and keep your old ecu mate?

£250 +VAT is pricey for a std ecu. I've seen them change hands on here for £100!

SCD Simon - thanks for answering Coulster's Q.

Coulster

Thanks, good luck with the sale

What other parts are needed for the PPP? I already have Prodrive backbox. Are the other parts available separately? What extra power does PPP give?

SlowBoy

When purchased thru a dealer the pack includes ecu, back box, centre and intercooler hose. You can get a centre pipe from any aftermarket exhaust manufacturer, eg H&S (aka Scooby Exhausts), Scorpion, Magnex, etc, etc. Prob around £100. Intercooler piping will be available from Samco via one of their many resellers. No idea on cost, but I'd guess £50?

Power is incresed by around 20bhp. Ecu ups boost as detailed in SCD Simon's reply above. Most insurers won't penalise you too heavily due to power increase of <10%.

I have the Prodrive ECU, Magnex centre (straight through/no cat) and back box + samco turbo hoses (3 including the Y piece) All of the above were bought separately and it was a lot cheaper than buying PPP from the dealer.
The car never went on the rollers when standard but in it's current set up it has made 250 bhp/242 lbft
Simon

Forgot to mention the Magnex centre was £60
and the Samco hoses were £67.

I give you £200 and my ecu? let me know if thats any good??

SlowBoy

iTrader: (1)

Thanks, but no thanks. As you kindly pointed out, Grade A want £250+VAT for a standard ECU. PPP ECU costs £500+VAT from them (or it would if they had any).

Ok mate
let me know if you change your mind??

SlowBoy

iTrader: (1)

OK.

I don't have an Impreza but I do have a standard ECU (unused) as it was replaced with a PPP ECU on my dads Impreza in '98.
Would you be interested in buying this from me?

SlowBoy

iTrader: (1)

Thanks for the offer, mate, but I've now sourced a suitable ECU.

So, now looking to sell the PPP ECU and no longer require exchange. Any takers?

Bully3176

iTrader: (1)

Still got £250 for it if you want it?

SlowBoy

iTrader: (1)

Sorry mate, not that desperate to sell really. I'll happily wait for an offer closer to the asking price. If I don't sell it by the time my new mods go on then I can think of a few mates running std ECUs who will happily look after it for me till a better offer comes my way.

Thanks for checking in though.

SlowBoy

iTrader: (1)

Go for a decat dp as well, mate. Should see an easy extra 10lb/ft.

*Sonic*

So how much are you selling the ECU for now, without an exchange ?

SlowBoy

iTrader: (1)

I've sourced a std ECU for £80. To be completely honest, I would have accepted £400 with an exchange, so closest offer to £480 seams fair.

*Sonic*

far too expensive for me

SlowBoy

iTrader: (1)

Did you think I'd be asking for less than the initial price, without an exchange???

Haven't seen these advertised much on here so didn't know what they go for, but I don't think this is too far off the mark.

Are you a mind reader

Got to do it mate. It sounds lurrrrvely.

£450 then anyone?

Bully3176

Still got £250 burning a hole in my pocket mate???

roguck

also interested in this (and the other one advertised) but cant decide whether to keep the pennies and go for a tek 2 or 3 later.

*Sonic*

Basically a PPP ECU *is* a Tek2 a Tek3 is mapped to your individual car (harder to sell on long term, as it is individually mapped, and no two cars are the same (even with the same mods) the upside is the licence for future remaps on Tek3)

Lan Man

I sold my tek 2.5 outright for 450, and imho they seem to go for slightly more than th epp ecu's, as they tend to have a slightly more "agreesive" map.

The ppp's I've een tend to go for around 400 ish, and around 350 ish with another ecu in px.

As for standard ae801's etc. - 250 - they're avin a cold bath, I paid 100 for mine, which is all there really worth.
