Why go for Marrelli mangement and not something like Omex, DTA, GEMS, Pectel T2/T4, Emerald, Motec or Autronic? There are others, I just can't think of them at the moment.

Not everybody has the software to map Marrelli management but aftermarket software is readily available.

The ECU I have, the software is free to download off the manufacturers website.

Martin at MEFMotorsport on here can do some cracking deals on DTA. I believe Christian or Gary at APT are Omex dealers. Mark at MAD on here is the only UK Autronic dealer....

Dont be silly maytee, most people who deal with RS's and tunning Cossies etc.. will be able to mapp Weber. There is not a 1 Tuner i know who cant mapp weber, but if you ask them about after market management they will give you a different answer.

Weber has been around way before the cossie years and has been used in many cars from Lanica's, Fiat's, ducatti and Cosworths!!!

In fact i think that its the after market software you will have trouble getting mapped to its 100% As for downloading the software and doing it yourself ........NAH... PAY THE PRO's

I stand by my statement....

The software on an aftermarket ECU is far easier to get hold of than the prehistoric webber stuff....and doesn't cost. The aftermarket stuff is designed to be EASY to use where as the origional equipment (Marrelli on Cossies for example) is meant to be hard to stop you messing with it....

Who can map Webber Marrelli then?

As for downloading the software and doing it yourself
What are you on about? Who suggested doing it yourself? I merely mentioned that the software is readily available for free on most ECU packages....

In fact i think that its the after market software you will have trouble getting mapped to its 100%
Why would there be any problems mapping an aftermarket ECU? Tuners have their preferences so are obviously going to be biased to what they like. If they can't map a system that is designed to be easy to use then should they really be mapping?

Obviously that is nothing compared to the prehistoric Webber Marrelli system!

Good old Webber is the best thing since sliced bread....

What do you intend to do with the S1 ?

I have an aftermarket ECU fitted which easily adjusts to give me a choice of running conditions. Thats simply all done by loading in a different "map" via my laptop.

The essential base running map is very very similar, but I then have different maps to do various different things. I may turn on the "fuel on over-run" option which will give me the flames out of the back if wanted it to (very very rare). Im more likely just playing with things like at what temperature the fans cut in. If I go to an event that is tight and twisty then the fans can be called in to switch on at a lower or higher temperature as required. I have maps which wont fuel the car at all above certain revs and use this as security.

At least I dont have to keep going back to my tuner everytime I want to switch about - so thats one option worth considering if your looking at that sort of thing.

The cossie management will work and it will keep your car running well if mapped correct, but if you like learning and developing and want some toys to play with then think again.

Then there is always the Megasquirt and Megasquirt2 that will do everything mentioned above and cost around 100Ł.

I have just spoken to someone who has the whole lot for sale very soon, Paul Ripley off of here, he's going down the pectel route so has everything you need, and it's from a running engine so has all the mapping done, all you'd need is the final check on the mapping to suit your car!!
