ecu reset on a blobeye
 
hi i want to do a ecu reset on my blobeye.i have a scangauge11 is there an easy way to do this and could you explain it in idiot terms please lol

Do you just mean a fault code clear down?

no tried that as have a scanguage,i know the mass air flow sensor is shot so am replacing it,just its a wrx ppp running 270/270 when standard.
its since had a front mount
wrapped ported headers
decat full system etc
apexi induction
all this was done ages ago,and car runs fantastic!(you cant map the standard ecu with ppp)
was told i should do a ecu reset and allow it to sort itself(allthough its been fantastic anyway)that the ecu would re read it!
ive driven the car easily over the last year as clutch was slipping now and again.
just had a big act clutch fitted and having never reset the ecu before thought id give it a go.

no offence that wants mapped properly to take account of the extra's you have added (particuarly the f/mount)

buy a std ECU to map and sell your PPP on...........

to be honest its been running like this for at least 2 years,and everyone thats been in it/driven it says the same as me it drives like a dream!charlie at surrey rolling road said exactly the same and was impressed by the figures 295 bhp 290 tq with a great curve at its last rolling road
cant justify the money at the moment

When was the PPP applied to the ECU ?
If it was before 2005 it may be 'open', therefore mappable via OpenSource mapping or ECUTEK dealer
if not you should be able to get the lock bypassed and mapped via an approved ECUTEK dealer.

ecu can be mapped no issue

the standard turbo is a td04 which is good for 280bhp, if you are running it unmapped with those mods and seeing 295bhp then it may well be very lean or the dyno you ran it on rather optomistic ;)

replied on surrey scoobies to this topic of yours in answer to original post :)

Cheers guys the ppp was fitted at new 2003 the scangear doesn't show it running lean,nor does the mpg lol Charlie ran the rolling road!

Scan gauge will tell yu very little with regard to how the engine is running other than error codes, mpg gives no indication.

Scan the graphs :)
