agree that mapping is also very important. One of the things many people overlook when upgrading and simply chuck a chip in that is not meant for the engine spec
not nice to see

so what are putting that down to? lack of maintenance, component failure, mapping? must be a reason for it.
defo not lack of maintenance, we put it down to componenet failure. a valve had snapped and decided to go exploring.

New engine has been fine ever since going in and that has been driven hard

Can you also run this with air injectors Stu?
Hi,
Yes the late greentop was closed loop as std, but obviously only worked with std injectors, once you swopped the program out for bigger injectors it didnt work as the algorythms addressed different memory areas for a 3bar map sensor and thus you had a car that would run quite high boost at lambda 1, so the old non green programs were traditionally used instead. I addressed this problem and have it working perfectly up to 1000cc. The bonus is that these cars are fully wired and equipped, so you just need to pop in a decent program and you are away.
good answer

i have the ecu in at work with me today, will pop it open and take some snaps and e-mail them over to you

the case has this on it, if it helps?

Corrrect, all that label tells me is it is a greentop and thus has closed loop catalyst friendly softwareinstalled as std.

All L8s are actually the same internally, only the chip differs...
