A bit of advice please.

My local tuning place Xtreme motorsport in Harlow are offering superchips for a 40bhp gain for £511.

Whats the difference between this and an ecutek upgrade

Am I better off going for a superchip on an un-modded car or Ecutek with some upgrades(filter/backbox)

I think it would cost a lot more for the ecutek

MY02 Wrx

Please advise

 

Superchips for £511
I'll let someone else explain

 

SuperChips? Mate; get a fucking grip!

 

Hang on you couple of mugs.

Just a simple question as im new to modding some help would have been nice, F**KIN P*ICK*

 

It was helpful advice. Step back and take a fresh look. Didnt your mother tell you it was rude to say 'fuck?

I think what the guy is syaing is DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT PUTTING A SUPERCHIP IN IT...
ECUTEK for £500-£550 + vat is your best option..
An ECUTEK will be mapped to whatever modifications you have on your car at the time.
I'm not even going to waste my breath on what a superchip wont do on an 02 impreza.

Before you invest in an ECU-Tek though, decide what youd like to do to the car..... It makes more sense to change everything (that requires a re-map) to the car at once and then map to suit (for example de-cat/high flow cat or larger turbo, different headers etc).

Hi Mate,

If you're planning on spending that kind of money go to a specialist. Give Xtreme Scoobies a call on 01245 363623 and have chat to them and raise the Super Chips query with them.

I'm no expert but they are and very highly regarded with the ESC see their section. I've used them and would at least use them as a benchmark.

I second that!

 

once mapped and licience for ecutec has been paid subsequent remaps if required cost 30-40% of original cost

cheers rob

 

Ecutek all the way. This is a custom remap of fueling to suit your car keeping all the inbuilt safety precautions in place.

As capita said - the original cost is expensive as it includes the ecutek license. Any further mods and remapping is just charged at mappers hourly rate.

 

been told that a super chip prevents the ecu from seeing the boost pressure of the engine, not sure if that is correct though

 

I believe it is true - stops fuel cut from overboost, an important safety feature. All the superchip does is increase boost.

Not a problem with an Ecutek as all these limits can be safely modified.

 

dam i didn't realise it stoped fuel cut as well, engine go bang bang lol. amazed know one has sued cos of blown engine

 

Mod at your own risk....

 

yeah def at your own risk, had mine ecutek'd also had pops and bangs mapped in, cant see that happening with a super chip.

 

Get less pops and bangs after my tek3, but still get the odd flame.

 

lol, mines mad, when i push and get it warm it pops and spits flames out every gear change upshift or downshift lol, also when i come of the throttle

 

Don't want to affend anyone but Extreme @ Harlow are expensive & only want ya £'s...!

I'll agree with other replys & go straight to Exstreme Scoobies !

Advice is free !

I'm going for a piggy back ecu with chip myslelf.
