Dont think you can upgrade the ECU, although Ford created two other ECUs for rallying.

the modified ECU's were Ford competition only and rare at the time so i would think they would be near non-exisitent now

There was a guy on here once who had an RS1600i with a mappable Emerald ECU and astra GTE injectors, had it done at a place called B-TEC Motorsport ( 01993 830214 )

Ive heard of that Magazine dont read it though

The RSi with the Emarald ECU still ran the Twin coils but with the GTE injectors there was no need for the old metering unit

yes m8, i´m from germany... the company is "eichberg". as far as i know they do sell the ecu even today. the ignition timing is different and there is no rev limiter.
