Pants Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Hi all i posted this in strictly technical have nt had much response so thought id try local been offered a 97 TYPE RA ecu to put in my 97 uk spec impreza will this work? if so what will i need to change under the bonnet to cope with the extra bhp injectors? turbo? etc if it wont work is there another ecu i could use to gain some extra bhp i read that the Z4 one would be ok cheers
Jamessti Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 I could be worng but I think the type ra uses three connectors, while the UK spec use the older 4 connectors. I'm sure someone will be able to tell you for deff. Where is JGM when u need him?
20withascooby Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 z4 wud be good i got one on mine plugs in and plays lol u udnt need to upgrade anything like hte turbo or anything like tht dnt think ud see a h uge gain like that
Pants Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 cheers guys had a feeling z4 would be good. checked plugs on mine and its a 3 plug jobbie same as ra one so if i do go ahead will just have to change fuel so far. ecu in mine is an S8 car was registerd 09/97 if this helps cheers
emmo Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 cheers guyshad a feeling z4 would be good. checked plugs on mine and its a 3 plug jobbie same as ra one so if i do go ahead will just have to change fuel so far. ecu in mine is an S8 car was registerd 09/97 if this helps cheers I would suggest that the ECU will require a re-map after installation.
emoe Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 UK spec cars also run a 3 plug BUT the JDM vehicles have a slightly different pin layout, theres a couple of the wires that youll need to change over in order for it to work, and then you will deffo need a remap to use on your engine.
