BC5 RS with Chipped W6 Ecu / What chip


THUNDA

Recommended Posts

Am having trouble finding out what chip is in my WRX RA ecu which runs in my RS BC5

 

Pulled it out to find some dodgy wiring and a speedlabs chip which looks like its been soldiered in my an amo

 

Emailed speedlabs nz, they cant tell me what type it is and cant tell me what it might be, as someone may as bought a chip for an RS BC5 and installed it onto this ECU without knowing its a WRX ecu

 

Swtich for the chip was unside down so when I thought it was off the chip was actually ON and the car normally runs relatively well, but with chip OFF it backfires under deceleration and doesnt perform very well / pickup is lacking -  but correct boost is created either way

 

Am keen on changing back to greys but have been warned that if the chip is tuned for yellows then the car could potencially run lean and cause damage quickly, as opposed to leaving in the yellows and it just running rich

 

So failing I find what type of chip it is should I just put greys in and see what happens or leave it? Im planning on getting a Power FC or Link and getting it tuned in the future so maybe just plug it back in and leave it untill then?

If i understand correctly, the car runs satisfactory with the chip active, so why not keep boost at a safe level and wait until you are ready to go to a tunable ECU?

 

Or you could buy a 2nd ECU that suits 380cc injectors and do the whole lot?

 

There won't be any issue with it being upside down, it should be mounted to a socket.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
