Determining if ECU is STI/Standard?
Calling ecu gurus!
Have an '00 GC8 with an engine swap and some extras (EJ207/VF34/yellow tops/TBE/AVC-R) but running on the standard Y7 '00 ecu. Runs pretty (quite) rich and was looking to drop in a 99 STI ecu short term as the internet indicates they run a little leaner and harder Picked up an ECU that is supposedly from a 99 STI but just having a little trouble verifying that's the case before installing and swapping wires around. Numbers are: E3 22611 AE801 A18-000 D1E (8Z15) Depending on the forum you browse, eBay listing you view and person you talk to it changes. There's a nice listing on this forum that lays-out the serials and engine configurations but the E3 doesn't appear to be on there unfortunately. Is there a sure-fire way to identify whether or not the ecu is STI (and/or AUDM/JDM origin)? Serial numbers/board ID/pin-out test...? Little hesitant to change any wiring or swap and run before confirming Cheers! |

Gday Jadyn,
Did you have any luck finding out what the E3 ecu was out of? i have one of my own and am also trying to find out too! |

99-00 UK spec RB5 ecu to my knowledge not STI just a UK special edition . same tune as a A7 apparently.
A7 ECU code = 440cc injectors, 280ps VF22. Thats from info I have which has been correct so far . Last edited by amtrapid; 23-02-2015 at 05:12 PM. |

This probably doesnt help you BEFORE you plug it in,
But for a GC8, an OBDII cable ($20 from ebay, search for VAG COM) and free software such as ECUExplorer will tell you the ID of your ECU. I have a WRX GC8 and ECUExplorer reports "MY99/00 Impreza STI JDM" |

Turns out it was from a 99 sti RA, but only know that because the previous owner managed to find the history for me not because of the printed codes.
I did end up buying a small ODBII Bluetooth adapter for another reason later and can confirm it does show the ID as matto20v suggested - $30 well-spent |
