Looks like a pre 97 ecu with the "SCOOBYECU " piggy back board added. The wires are probably soldered across Resistor j1, to give switcheable maps..

scoobyecu, something to do with paul blamire is my guess.

 

thanks guys. can anyone else back it up that it is a genuine scoobyecu and not a dodgy CHECK ENGINE type chip. you know the sort

Have you recently bought that from ebay?

Just wondered as I saw a very similar item for sale. I think it's a genuine scoobyecu as it is written on the circuit board, but you never know.

I think it's the VOS chips that illuminate the check engine light as they use a base map for the Legacy.

not bought it yet but i am seriously considering it. i want a little more power from my full decated/filter import 93 wrx.

Might be worth a go. I've just read through the add it seems genuine (I accept no responsilitity for the information being incorrect if you buy it! )

I know that whenever Scott.T sells these on ebay they seem to go for £250-£300 so it might be a bargain!

Ben

 

is it remapable?

 

I think Scott.T said something about being able to re-map the chips. Not sure of the cost but obviously it will have to be sent away.

There was a thread about this a little while ago in the general technical section.

allright m8 cheers.

if i win ill fit it and post up how i get on along with my opinion.

 

Looks like a ZX81 motherboard, i bet there any old chips with sticky paper on the top,

the one one the left says go faster chip, and the one on the right says go even faster chip

priceless

 

those 2 black wires out the top of the board.... are they connected to the j1 resistor so its allowing to have a switch to turn the extra chip on and off?

 

I assume so. I've heard a few people doing that. One position for standard boost and then another for scoobyecu boost. I wouldn't bother personally but each to their own!

I see you won it then!

Ben

 

yer £137!

bargain or what. i left it to the last twenty seconds and banged in £240 and got it for peanuts .

cant wait to get it in

stew

p.s i did notice you was bidding too

 

Yeh, I put in a cheeky bid. If I got it great, if I didn't, oh well.

I've just bought another one actually!!

Ben

 

nice one. same thing? tell us how you get on

 

That's a scoobyECU adaptor and judging by the letters PMB on the label, I would think it was mapped by Paul Blamire (Zen Performance).

Yes it is re-mappable, and Paul always used to use EE devices which are erased on the programmer rather then having to spend 30 mins under a UV eraser.

Pauls maps are normally pretty good though.....
