BC/BF ECU's


ReubenH

Recommended Posts

Hey all. I've been talking with a guy in england who says he has an STi gen 1 GT, and he's got a buggered ECU. I've heard about these STi GT's before, i use to know a guy who saids he owned one too, but i never knew if it was an actual STI, or the original owner kitted it out with STi parts. Anyone know more on the subject?

Anyway, it just happens that this guy's going to be in queenstown for the next 3 weeks, and i said i'd find him a new ECU while he's here. I'm just wondering if there's any differences with the ECU's, for example between years, such as pre and post face lift... Obviously it would be nice to find the best possible ECU. Maybe one from an RS-RA if they are different or something. So if anyone can enlighten me on the old gen1 ECU's that'd be great. I've sent him a link here too btw, so you might seem him online.

Also, let me know if you have an ECU available of course!

Gen 1 series 1 run an 8 bit ECU.

Series 2 (Facelift) run a 16 bit ECU these are the main differences between BC/BF ECU's

The STI Gen 1 GT was a limited run of 200 vehicles, and came with an "STI" fettled ECU and TCU (transmission Computer)

The changes increased power by 20 horsepower and faster shift logic with the automatic.

Incedently, the only other GEN1 Turbo to have 220hp (165kw) was the A,B,C and D type RS type RA.

So if he can give you the numbers on his ECU case, they most likely will correspond with a C and D type 16 bit ECU.

      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
