Hi

Is it possible to specify two different maps when getting my ecutek wrx remapped.
I want a map with full power and pops and bangs, and another map just with full power.
I know usually you get a low power setting and a map with full power.

Is this the norm?

Will it cost more
How much is it for a remap on ecutek after you have had your first remap and paid for your license.

cheers

 

No it will only hold one map.

 

awwww so how come they can have low/high settings (two maps)?

cheers

 

You can have high/low settings of boost via a boost controller or dual maps with an aftermarket ecu.

 

Some models can give you two different boost settings on the OE ecu (at extra cost I am sure) but it would not be able to do two maps with different fueling and timing like you ask for the pops and bangs.

 

on a newage only the sti has the ability to run 2 different maps and launch control the wrx can only have one map and thats it

 

The two boost levels is available for most but not all.
Not aware of anyone charging extra, I dont.
As said the pops and bangs is on all the time if wanted but the severity of it can be altered.

AFAIK the (earlier) newage can have another map usually activated by full depression of the throttle and pressing the screen demister LOL

All it does is lower boost and nothing else !!

On later model cars there's a lot more space for maps but the ECU needs to know when to change via the OBD port

the boost maps, both target and duty are switched and are obviously custom setup.. rather than just lower boost etc but yes normally a lower boost and higher normal boost switchable via rear screen demister and full throttle.

Ywah thats what I have currently

why cant i have hi(NORMAL)/hi(POP/BANG)

 

Because the pop/bans are created using fueling and ignition maps. Those arent switchable.

 

what he said

 

In that case i don't understand. Surely mapping the ECU alters the fuel the ECU demands etc? I know when i had my switchable map put on the 03 WRX the mapper said the fuel would have to stay rich as i had left 2 of the cats in although he would lean it out a bit.

5t.

 

I think you are muddling two different things.. if the cats are still in then yes it needs to be mapped slightly richer.. this is mainly due to the uppipe cat which can break up and go through the turbo.

the map switch is not a map switch but a boost level switch..

the fuel and ignition and lots of other stuff can and will be altered during remapping but the switching from one to the other of boost levels only will not effect the setup of the fuel and ignition. Therefore if it is set up to pop and bang it will pop and back on high and low boost settings.

Simon

 

Does popping and banging have much effect on fuel economy? Mine pops and bangs like a good'un as it was mapped to, but I'm getting a bit tired of
the racket to be honest!

 

yes will use slightly more fuel, but not a huge difference

 

mine pops and bangs when i slow down in 2nd or 3rd gear... ide really like it to do it when i change gear all the time, the louder the better

 

lol..

antilag needed then really.. mine if I change gear normally with it switched on it gives one loud pop.. but changing gear with gusto you get no pop as it is not off the throttle long enough
Also the pops on overrun are very loud

Simon

 

anti lag is an expensive thing though aint it

 

I want some of this. good old pops and bangs.
Will it work with a recirc dump valve?

 

full decat will help mate, and yeah mine has a recirc valve still
