why can't they be mapped over here? are they a z4 ecu??

Without having owned a GC8 i think the options in order of cheapness would be:

- Power FC
- Autronic/Link
- MoTeC

- Microtech (over east, maybe not to good)

Probably a few other options in there however i'd be factoring in 2 or 3 grand into the price of the purchase if you were going ahead with it for a new ecu/tune/few extra mods So you're not driving around in a hand grenade.

Yes you can tune the ECU, just not in WA

Can i suggest you look through some of the stickies for ecu tuning (ie who can do what and where)
RMS don't do the stock ecu remapping
You can ecutek it but it can't be done locally

Suggest you opt for a Power FC ECU

Running lean has nothing to do with the injector size or fuel pump - the stock ecu is programmed to run at set range and if you change hardware, then those range won't be valid anymore, ie your goalpost moved. VF34 is a bigger turbo, running 1bar on it and a TD04 is not same same and the ignition timing, etc is set for the TD04, not the bigger turbo

Even if the car is running rich initially, its not something you want to depend on forever, as all it might need is one variable to go wrong and the ECU's safety factor can't help it anymore

power fc thats for older scoobys ie before my98......

may not mod it after all then!! esp 2/3k to get fueling right....

No, Power FC can be used all the way to MY00

check the stickied thread for the ecu options available

2/3k is a worst case scenario just to be sure It would probably be less. You just need to be sure that with the mods the car has the tune is alright, that's all.

A quick run down to ASG with a Lambda sensor would confirm the AFR's at least in the interim.

ok cheers at least i now know the ecu can tuned lol just not round here!!

think i will leave it std and flog the bits then......

the wife will chew my ear off if i mention re-mapping etc she just thinks more money!!!

Just ignore the mrs mate, they don't understand.

they certainly dont!!!

all i get off her is dont buy it if its not right!!

Yes you can Ecutek (re-flash) flash 99 does all 99-00 Wrx, forry, liberty.

Speak to maximum motorsport their the agent here in WA.

Power Fc aslong as it suits wrx gc8 E (1999) & G (2000) models.
