My grandparents have a holiday home thingy in Nairn (down at the beach) I was planning on having a weekend away there this week.

I've just bought my 03 STI ppp and i must say i'm very very impressed.

I wondered if it would be a good idea to let her go shopping in aberdeen.... lol whilst i go and check out some car stuff... i'll not be telling her anything about a remap!! would people recomend them (wallace performance). Anyone on here have first hand experiance?

 

I wouldnt use them.

 

<goes off to fetch some popcorn>

 

LOL did I forget to mention the hundreds of max power neds who hang about there aswell, never again !!

 

Very good.

Didn't realise Evo drivers were referred to as "max power neds"

 

LOL, evo drivers ? you can buy an evo for 4 grand cant you.

 

wallace is number one for remaps to scoobys and evo ,, very fussy i have dealt with lots of mappers in the past and russ is far far the best yet, your answer to the Q yes nipp in past get in done trust me you wont be disapointed

 

not being ****y here but you can get scoobys for way less

 

book a date with andy forrest instead mate.

 

ndt crew, you come on here having only been here a few days and expect us to take your word for it LOL, dream on man.

Mr Hat, has it in one.

 

Not had any experiance with Wallace or Andy for that matter.
I have spoken to Andy, driven his car and seen his results accross the country, so I know he can produce the goods.
I dont undersatand ,however, how Wallace can have such a bad reputation but still be using the Ecutek products. Would they not have had it taken from them if they cant produce good results??

Just my thoughts.

 

dream on its me that has the 500+ evo all worked been carried out by wallace also 600 bhp mr rolling out by friday and 520 i have had lots and lots of experiance in tunning mate and no a good job, its chaps like you that give a good company a bad name he has evo,s from all over scotland also scoobys too ,as i say it not how long i have been on a forum

 

russ is the chap, great chap knows his stuff

 

IMHO Andy Forrest is the man for Scooby ecutek maps.

That said i know one lad, who has had his scoob done by Russ @ Wallace and he has set it up REALLY well.

Russ knows his stuff, i agree, And especially Evo's.

Scoobs, Andy F is without doubt the man for them.

 

ndt crew said, "from all over scotland also scoobys too" ??

"i am the one with the 500 bhp evo" Really i never say you at the lancer day at Wallace when i was up?

Really? Who on here or SIDC has had there car mapped by Russ apart from Clutdav?

(Russ this is no dig at you at any way shape or form m8.)

 

dont do roller days its pointless , all the jackets and hats not my scene at all these cars are for driving not sticking on rollers , tracks and sprints for me thats why i have bulit it hopeing too get a few this year

 

ndt crew

I take it your a mate of willox, I cant for the life of me think why you would want wallace to map your car ?

Also, if you dont stick your car on the rollers how do you know what its making ? wallace got an engine dyno now have they ?

All of a sudden turned into engine builders ?

I know for sure willox would recommend a proper ecu and a proper mapper for your evo, sam elessar, mark shead or gaz @ cpp.

 

willox is doing 90% of engine and fittings, i know sam too i bought my donner engine and ams intake from him,i have seen many graphs of sams and think russ has the edge on him, sorry cant see past russ at all
yes russ has rollers but i have more mods going on too car then i will roller it martins never recomended any of the above cause he knows i wouldent listen , mark sheads ok too he did my 4x4 coz ,

 

And i might also add that the flat 4 is a total different monster to map than a straight 4.

Its not always about getting more out of it, its about having safe, reliable set ups, with a certain level of saftey margin built in, better to be backed of a tad, that right on the edge!!

Having seen evo's running 99 to 100% IDC Now that is on the edge IMHO.

Never seen that in a scoob mapped by AndyF, thats one safety margin right there.

Surely you dont need me to tell you Andy Forrest runs 210mph scoob, also running 9.2 second 1/4's

Flys all over the globe mapping scoobs, I guess he must be pretty good at it eh?

 

Back on topic and last time i looked this was an Impreza site

 

lol hell its not evo,s that are popping big ends every other day mate
flat four a monster lol dont thinkso lol we all know that the evo is the better car now dont we, better handling more power for your cash check out the sprints all top four are evo,s o sorry there your in too RR days

 

No i think if you ask Russ about me and my scoob, you will find i am far from in to rolling road days, Ask him about Knockhill (yawn)

Bottom ends popping? New one to me..............p1's aye but not Sti's

For someone of your claimed age, levels of knowledge and your wonderful written english, it surprises me that you even have the nerve to talk about something you clearly know nothing about.

Away back to yer Lancer site Ta Ta

As for the flat 4 monster, where are there 9.2 quarter mile times? Where is there 210 mph cars?


ssccccchhhhhhh (yawn)

 

lol P1 i know of two sti scoobs that went pop inc my one
never mind you stick too you RR days ,i love a good wind up

 

You know of two sti's that went pop LOL, was that thanks to wallace performance ?

They dont map on the road, and lets face it the ecutek reflash is garbage !

As far as im aware they dont map real ecu's ?

Motec, Autronics, Gems ?

 

Like i say ask Russ about my sti and knockhill, am no rolling road man :-)

 

lets you see what you know then they do map real ecu,s there doing my mates mr evo thats autronics and my one too and for my scoob it went bang well before wallace was created. iam going back near 10 year when scoobs were rare only three in abz , and ecutek flash aint garbage we are seeing 300 bhp evo,s jumping too 370+ but then you cant do that with a scoob lucky if you reach 300 and that will cost you an arm and a leg

 

never mind i aint saying more about its not my scene to have a slagging match on the forums might see you at some track days craig cheers and might see bigman at wallace for that remap

 

My 300+hp at 1.1bar cost me 5k and that included the car. Generally i could get most Imports up to the 300 mark reliably for a lot less than an arm and a leg

Your precious Evo is flawed in the handling dept. The engine and box sit in front of the axle giving the car a natural tendancy to understeer. This is the reason the mighty Evo has the computer processing power of NASA to counter this understeer characteristic, sad Mitsu****i. It needs all the yaw sensors and slip sensors in Southern Sudan to get the handling anywhere near the level of a Subaru, again sad Mitsu****i. So please do not insult us by saying an Evo is superior in the handling dept to an Impreza

Imagine what level of handling the Impreza would have if it was fitted with the same system as the Evo. Just go find a video of the Prodrive P2 with its active diff system but we dont have that level of technology on our road cars, we have to rely on the fact that the car has tons of natural grip due to its superior drivetrain/engine layout


I have personally seen a good few Evo's with a broken bottom end, so your precious Evo is not invincible to bottom end failure.

Would love to see AndyF up against the Norris car
or
The Rigoli 1000bhp drag car against the top drag Evo from Japan
or
AlanG's old car on the dyno against the best stealth 500hp+ Evo
or
JohnSt on the hill climb against pretty much any Evo
or
Wilky on any back road in his WRC engined STI RA against pretty much any Evo on the planet.........no contest
or
Andyjdmsti's car in a "who's meaner looking" against any Evo in the world

Hope you get my drift or do i need to explain it in txt speak for u

 

You wont be seeing me at Wallace Im afraid, atleast not for any mapping.

 

Because he has experience of me mapping his car at WP.
Do a little search on the MLR. You never know, you might learn something.

Obviously another nice informed decision there. Ecutek is more than adequate for 99.9% of fast road cars. The standard ecu's in Evos and Scoobs since around the turn of the century are extremely flexible and tunable.

Excelling yourself here. We can and do map; Gems, Motec, Autronic (no "s"), Emerald, DTA, Omex, Ecutek, Power FC, Greddy Emanage, Wolf 3D, Haltech, AEM and probably just about any other ecu you can think of.

And which ones are the real ecu's?!


Fine. You have a right to choose. Just don't attempt to make choices for other people when you clearly don't have all the information.
