Stu,
Is there no OEM ECU that you have sufficiently hacked that is common and cheap enough to use as an aftermarket one for muchos cheapness that has all the features most people want, or is this the reason sticking with the Webber IAW?
I know someone that started to do this the the EEC ECUs, but he's too lazy to finish it (same as his engine monitors)

.We are in fact spending a great deal of time and money on one specific form of ECU at the moment, in fact, your mate Guido is helping me out with some translation from German to English this weekend. We should know all we need to know about that system by Xmas this year i expect and will open up a nice Niche in the aftermarket tuning arena as we did with Weber all those years ago. We all need a sideline to detract fro the drudgery of daily business don't we?
Thats the good news... for me.
The bad news is, its an EDC. So all you have to do now is guess what EDC means to figure out why its BAD news.

ok can any1 tell me If a cheaper ecu- dta or omex, is better than a L8?
They come with more toys- closed loop, launch control, ALS, dizzyless......
But are they as good/better than the STD ford management?
I have level 8 ATM but want all the toys and if I add them to my current ecu it will end up dearer than buying said new ecus.

I don't think its worth changing an L8 for aftermarket unless you have a mad spec?
Stus LC/ALS/Wasted spark are all easily enough fitted to the L8, plus you need no mapping, just a fuelling check to make sure everything is ok. If i can fit it - anyone can
I'm fitting a DTA S60 into my mates car at the minute and to be honest, while is not hard its a ballache to make everything look pretty, working out what way to route wires etcetc. the it needs mapped.
Fair enough the s60 has a lot of extras on it, but not enough to warrant changing to it if you have anything less than a spec Stu can do an off the shelf chip for...

It will do more things, but not as well.

I'd love a play with T6. Omex, Emrald, Gotech are the ones ive played with and are pretty poor for a road car imo. I've got MS on my s2 purely as i like the development aspect. It's running a totally std 1600 on Greys at 15.5:1 idle. There are something like 8 maps and tons of switches for the transient fuelling at the moment which means 100+ hours mapping really.

Alex,
yea sure is - not one ounce of trouble. Few mods like proper peak and hold low impedance drivers plus digital ignition drivers, but they're really only for experimentation purposes
