1600 8v engine management question

[mowgli]

as i keep failing to purchase a cheap mappable setup for my e16se, i was wondering if any of the later setups as used in astra/zafira could be remapped cheaply, and worth using.

well.... I'm sure you could make the Corsa C 1.2 ecu work with the transponder key etc and then get somewhere to map that (its the one used for running ZLET's too). Although that does run an ETB so might throw a spazzy fit unless they can map that out.

tbh for the cost of any solution you wont beat microsquirt and some time with a laptop yourself, 1600 8v's are cheap as chips so it matters not if you det the nuts off one

You could use piggyback systems like Dastek do/used to do back in the day. Dont even know if they're still going tbh.

But nothing comes close to proper mappable system.
So to answer your question, no.

Is the engine standard?

I'd sooner tell Mike to fit an RB26DETT than fit a unichip (dastek) as you are limited to their 'tuners' due to it being a locked down system

its standard at the moment, adam, but i am peed off with innumerate ecu faults that keep changing all the time... and i have a big box of spare ecu's etc...

stu, i can't get close to finding a cheap microsquirt, even though i'm certain there are literally hundreds languishing in peoples sheds cos they can't work them out

Funny you should say that, there is a full size Megasquirt sat in a unit in my bedroom . Mainly because I have no use for one as opposed to not understanding

[Adam]

YOu can get pickup the latest Microsquirt for around the £300 mark iirc.

Stu, i did say back in the day... Lol
