JohnSt Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) Spent this evening drawing a schema for the new SOLARIS ecu. I've been debating in my head for a year now about what to use Features Vs Cost. The SOLARIS came out a clear winner, the fact that the best Subaru Suppliers/Mappers in the country have signed up for this and the features available............ no brainer !! Here's my Rev 1.1 wiring Schema Edited 'cause it should have been V1.1.3 Edited January 15, 2009 by JohnSt
terzo neil Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 looks very good does it include launch control, traction control and flat shifting
jimser Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 yea definately ticks all the right boxes john,this time last year simtek was the best option for me with the dual fuel maps etc but would go for the solaris now if i was on the lookout for a good aftermarket ecu
JohnSt Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 Neil, it does all of the above and many more. This is just the wiring to make the car go Vroom Vroom. Jim, Agree, 4 fuel maps, 4 ignition and compensation for damded neer everything. The Simtek is also excellent it was a close run thing, this came down to what I need this to do, long term.
JohnSt Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 what else can this ecu do ? Big thing.... Proper Knock control !!! Gucci list here http://www.solaris-ecs.com/s6gp.php
st3ph3n Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 That's an impressive list of things it can do John. Does it get good channel five reception though?
JohnSt Posted January 26, 2009 Author Posted January 26, 2009 Stephen, fitting a big LCD Telly as a Firewall more work done on the Rear, obvoiusly still to be completed / painted, but you can see where it's heading. Road Mode Circuit Mode Does my Bum look Big ?
colin_ross Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 ^^^^^ John St - getting his rear end tampered with. Again.
the squiggle Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 It is the Road Mode i am more concerned about
RA Dunk Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 ^^^^^John St - getting his rear end tampered with. Again. ^^^LoL^^^
RA Dunk Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 couldent you just stick your reg onto your boot and use the car on road with the new set up or is that not legal?
st3ph3n Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 I would have thought it would be like driving round with a big sign saying "pull me over thanks".
the squiggle Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 My concern about Road Mode is if John takes it on the road uses the car 50% of its potential then it is Planet Earth i worry about when the whole thing just stops rotating and we possibly start going backwards

JohnSt Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) Spent some time in the garage tonight. Out with the old......... Pulled the heads off last year's engine as it's going to a new home. In with the new.......... These bad boys are 20K Mile AVCS heads Bought them recently and tomorrow they are on their way to Chy at PENNINE SUBARU for a wee makeover and to be introduced to the bit that goes between them They are not going alone, I'd like to keep my PhI manifold as they are the best option available, so we are adding some www.carldavey.co.uk Gucci stuff. These spacers allow me to use/save money by retaining fuel rails, manifold etc. On a similar note, anyone who knows me will know how Anal about weight saving I am, again, more of Mr Daveys' Gucci'ness, anyone felt the weight of a '93-'96 Alternator bracket this mounts this Icle wee thing.. Edited January 29, 2009 by JohnSt
the squiggle Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) Whats the alternator out of and whats the rating? Some damn Gucci one off bits there All show and plenty gooooooooooooooo Edited January 30, 2009 by The Squiggle
jimser Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 what are the manifold spacers made of john? the avcs heads will certainly help with low down torque/spool up.nice to see the newage cars were good for something lol
JohnSt Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 Grant, there are many compaies out there that will sell you a 'Race' alternator for circa £300, however, they are standerd equipment on a Diahatsu Charade Jim, spacers are Ally, nothing sinister there, but excellent work from Carl as usual.
