subaru ecu/ems, subaru engine electronics Options

[ModPR3]

subie guys need your help again. after finding out that a 911 engine rebuild cost over 8k the subie or v8 path is looking good again. if i ran the 2002-2004 wrx 2.0 turbo motor what do i do about the engine control unit or engine management. can the engine be run with the stock subaru ecu or does it have to be switched out to a standalone unit. if the stock ecu can be used, how hard is it to wire into the 914. thanks.

thanks for the info, im gaining knowledge left and right. if im running a turbo on a subaru or a type 4 engine with FI, and im running at 8 pounds of boost at 4k rpm but then i turn down the wastegate and now im at 12 pounds of boost a 4k rpm will the ecu adjust for this difference and at that time is it in closed loop so thats why it adjusted

on my turbo Volvo, if I took off slow enough and slowly gained speed to a cruising speed of 70mph, the motor would not produce even half of it's max allowable boost...now if hammered the gas, it would.....normal non-variable vane turbochargers will not produce max boost until you are at or very near WOT

4000 rpms would be close to running 70mph or more I think...

driving wise, what you as a driver would need to do is just modulate the throttle easier with the boost turned up higher....


I'll see if I can find some fuel injection MAPs with throttle positions so you can see the relationship between throttle position/manifold pressure(or vac. during normal cruise) and RPM, then it'll click...

whether you are doing a suby or a type IV turbo, I recommend Corky Bells Turbocharger book, amazon.com has it as well as a supercharger book from him (i have both, my Turbobook is autographed by him (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) )
