[puddin]

put 2.5 block into my tyre r,just wondering will 2.0 ecu run it r do i need to get different ecu

 

[sti v5]

I think this came up before and it would need to be mapped for the 2.5....

someone correct me if im wrong

You can get an ecutek licence and get your current ECU mapped to suit the 2.5 or you can get a simtek/solaris ecu to replace the original ECU. one way or another though, it will have to be mapped to suit the new engine

has to be mapped regardless lad

98 ecu cannot be remapped.. replacement aftermarket ecu such as simtek required.

just to check it is a model year 98 and not a model year 99.. is the coilpack in the centre or offset to the right?

model year 99 from august 98 is mappable with ecutek you see..

My apologies thought all MY98 models are mappable........

My apologies thought all MY98 models are mappable........

From V5 on you can ecutek



edit:thanks Brian!

 

[JollyGreenMonster]

assuming it is a 98 then aftermarket ecu required

 

[puddin]

coil pack is in the centre simon

 

[briancollins]

coil pack is in the centre simon

So its version4 which means you need an aftermarket ecu

 

[JollyGreenMonster]

Yep aftermarket ecu required.. best for the money is a SimTek but that is a reasonable out ly you didn;t plan for
