just wondered as i got one without board,and others i have seen don't have one too

got an MSD closed loop chip and need to know if i need one of these boards to run it ?or do i just plug into main board?

cheers

 

HTH pics of my L8 before and after msd closed loop chip
assume it was all standard apart from the chip that EA put in

 

Yes they do come with a board as standard.

 

Yes they need the board. Its virtually a L6 without it.

 

Stu,
You shouldnt have said that.
Just wait for people to post if they can convert L6 to L8 by using a
standard babyboard.

 

.. so what's the answer Si..?

 

No

Uses the same processor but the memory and I/O map is different
and of course you have the lambda sensor interface on the L8
which isnt on the L6.

 

bollox how much for one of these then?

cheers simon and cheers stu

simon ur L8 chips u supplied me a year+ ago are plugged on standard board and work my mates produced 336bhp on a standard lump at 22psi why would this b if u need a baby board to run them??????????

very very confused now

 

The baby board is an inegral part of the L8 ecu and is a design after
though by the manufacturer (weber marelli).
It is NEEDED.

The chips I used to supply were simple modified versions of the original
program fitted to the car and so work on the ecu as supplied.
I.E. with the original baby board

The baby board is simply a memory expander as the software on L8
is much more complex than the L6.

The golden rule of all programmers is to fill all available memory even if
it isnt actually needed.

 

so i need a standard L8 babyboard then?

oh well its only money

 

sorry werea my manners


THANK YOU pee vee

 

pee vee ,what spec are you running and what power did you have?
