Gtiracer 0 Posted April 1, 2008 (edited) I've bought a second hand ECU to fit to my throttle bodies on my Mi16 when all wired up, but currently loaded onto the ECU is a Map for cookiemonster's old 1.9 8v engine he had. Now my question is would a base map be better for first start up, or do you think it would be better configured if i just use what is on there to start with, or will it be completely unsuitable? cheers Edited April 1, 2008 by Gtiracer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted April 1, 2008 Base map would be alot better!! Someone may have one you could use, what's the EMS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gtiracer 0 Posted April 1, 2008 its a Lumenition C400 unit, not the most popular no doubt but still alright Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,524 Posted April 1, 2008 I reckon that the map on there will be close enough for initial start up. I would advise against driving it though until its been setup properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gtiracer 0 Posted April 1, 2008 I can find it easy enough to get a base map no hassle, just wondered which would be better as i have the choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gtiracer 0 Posted April 2, 2008 Get the 16v map, no contest. Graham. I just mean for first starting of the engine thats all, not the permanent running of it, i'm planning to get it mapped when its ready Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 240 3 Cars Posted April 2, 2008 just wondered which would be better as i have the choice If you have a choice the best one is bound to be the one thats most suited to the engine which in this case would be the 16v map. I'd still get the 16v even for just starting if you can & intend driving it at all. The 8v map will have more advance than needed on a 16v. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted April 2, 2008 It will start on the old 8v map to ensure no porblems with pipes etc, but I would not drive it anywhere thou. Just done a Zetec map on a 8v just to get it started and it run better on that than the GTi6 map I had before uploaded. Good luck with the ECU, I know from having one finding support was hard a few yr's back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
