Hi, recently bought my 97 wagon import auto with 238bhp.

A freind knows a mate who will do a re-map for £220 (is that a good price)

I hear about dynos days and also rolling road days.

Just wondering what is best to get some quick and extra BHP

Cheers

 

Try one of the known and proven mappers on here, worth every penny.

 

Mate of a friend......

Does he know what he's doing? Impreza engines are DAMNED costly to rebuild, trust me.

 

97/98 mapped very interesting look into it first.

 

Get a pro to map it, it'll be cheaper in the long run.

 

What does a map do. As i mentioned, i have no idea what the differences are.

 

a map will change fuelling,air ratio,timing and boost produced leading to extra power BUT if done by a mate of a mate for the price of a pint will probably end up going bang and budget 2k plus to rebuild.
pay properly and get a reputable mapper to do the job.

 

use AMD remappers google it and there awesome prob get 40-50 bhp easy

 

All depending on what mods are done to the car, an extra 40-50bhp out of a TD04 it VERY optimistic! personally i would recommend one of the better known mappers off this and other scoob sites Racedynmix who i use, Bob Rawle who mapped my old car or Jolly Green Monster to name just a few.

 

I thought you couldn't map 97my? Might be wrong.

 

You will need a ecu tek licence so for £220 no chance

 

there speaks the voice of experience.......................

 

Nope, ecutek is MY99 onwards so will be an ESL chip which is much cheaper

Gains, around 30bhp id say.

That`s why i would find it interesting as 97/98 ecu`s were non mappable.

 

Any Impreza is mappable, just needs a different approach on different models.

As tony says, ESL is the way.

 

thanks all,

Im having it rolling road tested tomorrow and hopefuly the guys at West Yorkshire Scoobs will be able to put me in the picture.

 

Seems like your right tony, thanks for clearing that up
Shows how much I know
