1600 8v engine management question

[MK999]

the only time it actually runs ok is when i absolutely came it thru the gears to the limit, which can be fun, but a tad antisocial...

No wonder I never had any ECU problems with mine.

would carbing it not be a cheaper option? set of bike carbs can be picked up cheap, if you know anyone who can fabricate theres the inlet, and just get rid of the management

Aftermeerkat management on a totally standard engine would still make more hp then OEM managment on the same engine.

/\ bloody right. there is an infamous low spot at 75 in top on the gte that was put in there to get 45mpg on the official figures, the injection is basically a bit of 1970's printed circuit work. to map it, you need to get the resistor colour band chart & the soldering iron out.
