k04 ibiza

i would of thought they were both the same ecu but with a different map from the factory , whats the difference between a cupra and cupra r ecu , apart from the obvious 30bhp more

 

[Steve GTI]

I think it is just a different map, but i could be a possibility???

 

[Cupra_Jeff]

wouldn't do as the only difference with an R was software based.

However another thought, all R's came with a AYP engine code.... is the ECU for an AYP engine, don't know if that'll make a difference ??

 

[nick-barnes07]

dont know , it was of hooch s car , was it an ayp hooch

 

[Steve GTI]

I would of thought it was best to keep your R ecu then get i mapped to suit the KO4, now you have a R with a normal cupra ECU so you can't put it back to standard. I don't like the sound of just swapping ECU's myself.

 

[David_smith_909]

Just a thought but the fact that yours was an R but now with a cupra ECU would that make any difference?

its the code thats on the actual ecu that counts

 

[Steve GTI]

So would an R ecu have a different code?

Oh and sell your ibiza to me!

 

[David_smith_909]

So would an R ecu have a different code?

to begin with yes, it will be mapped different out of the factory to produce more power, once the standard map is erased though and a different map applied it doesnt matter from then, as its a different map, if that makes sense

both a cupra and a cupra R map the same by a mapper - same hardware, just different software

 

[nick-barnes07]

so it doesn't matter then

 

[David_smith_909]

i wouldnt rule it out, afterall, the ecu's have different codes at the end
This may just be used by the factory to determine different ecu's for the different cars easily without plugging them in, but i would have though as long as both engine codes were the same it wouldnt matter

 

[h17och]

it wont make a difference, i knoe people running R ecu's on cupras and vise versa! standard and remapped
