mick_weatherill Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Can anyone advise me? Ive got a ninja rear box ,de cat centre pipe, de cat front pipe .I want to complete the de cat system with a de cat down pipe .The question is will the ecu be ok with no cats in.Or will i need to remap .Just in case you dont know the car it is a WRX 05 model.[au]
graham_crane Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 I have a 03 wrx, Which I fully decatted two weeks ago. I was worried about over boost and hitting fuel cut with the de cat. I have found the scoob is fine. It boosts a bit more but only to about 1.2 bar.I think this is the best mod I have had done to date. But. You will need a CEL fix. If you do it, You will think why didnt I do this months ago.
mick_weatherill Posted April 26, 2006 Author Posted April 26, 2006 Thanks for the info Graham .Im new to all this .Not meaning to sound stupid but whats a cell fix ??[:$]
graham_crane Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 Quote Thanks for the info Graham .Im new to all this .Not meaning to sound stupid but whats a cell fix ??[:$] Its a CEL fix. Not cell. Ok Your scoob has sensors in the exhaust system. If you remove the cat in the down pipe the scoob will show a check engine light. (CEL). Its the ecu telling you that there is a prob with the cat. Well we know this because the cat has been removed. So you will need a CEL fix to turn the check engine light off. You can run with it on, But if you get another prob with the engine you will not know because your light is already on.

leon Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 hi mate a CEL fix is just a resistor not sure what ohm it is but im sure a search on scoobynet will come up with somthing!..............wont a full decat invalidate your warrenty mate! best check first!
mick_weatherill Posted April 28, 2006 Author Posted April 28, 2006 Thanks mate ... Has anyone else had problems with the cel fix on a wrx .If you have how did you solve it or get around it ?How much was it ?Has it got to be done when the down pipe is being fitted ?Will the car run properly without it being done Straight away? Where can i get this done local to Dartford kent ?
SCOOBYTOO Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 micky. you will eventually need the CEL fix. to start with you may get away with it. mine took around 4-6 weeks before it brought the light up. scoobyworld, scooby clinic etc. sell these units. also you can get them from barretts motorsport in canterbury. takes about an hour to fit, will req soldering into your existing loom near the ECU.
mick_weatherill Posted April 28, 2006 Author Posted April 28, 2006 Thanks dean i know about the cel fix thing .But ive been told that when the light comes on the car goes to safe mode I.e cuts the power down ect . The thing is if we are going on the RBMR i dont want this miles away from home .Where did you get yours done ? OR do you know someone who could do it . Sorry to be a pain in the arse .[]
granby Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 I 99% sure it doesn't go into safe mode, i got mine done a Xtreme Scoobies when they fitted my decat downpipe
SCOOBYTOO Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 it does NOT put car into limp home mode. i can fit one if you can get hold of one no probs.
mick_weatherill Posted April 28, 2006 Author Posted April 28, 2006 Thank you all for all the advice you gave .After all that my down pipe turned up today and guess what ?Yep you guessed it .The wrong one .... The plonkers [:@] So if anyones got a de cat down pipe for a WRX not a STI and not for a classic my car is a 05 reg new age .PLease do let me know Thanks again everyone []
graham_crane Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 I bought this CEL fix. It works just unscrew your sensor and screw back on. If you email him he will ship it to you, I got mine in 4 days http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...TRK%3AMEWA%3AIT
