I don't know much about mapping so I have the following question:
Is it possible to read the chip from a L8 ECU and then copy the maps and adjust them if required so you can programm an aftermarket ECU to have the same programm with out dyno-live mapping? (offcurse with all the engine sensors the same as before,same injectors and only difference would be a coil per plug setup).

 

It would be possible with the right equipment, but I wouldnt advise it, as if for any reason the aftermarket ecu has a difference reference point (like one being leading and one being trailing edge on the sensor or something like that) it could end up wrong.

I think you would be better off just mapping it properly rather than trying to guess your way to a map from looking at an L8 chip.

 

what chip said,
plus processor speads may be diferent

 

The problem is that this programm is very good (it's made in UK) and economical that's why I like to "copy" it because with the live mapping I don't know if it is going to work correct (I know that live mapping is surely better but to be honest I don't trust anyone to do it here...)

 

what ecu are you using?
there are so many variables you need to look into before doing this tho,

 

Wright now I'm using a L8 ECU with a custom chip for the specs of the engine. I don't know yet what ECU to use but I'm close to a DTA S80 in case of a 8 injector setup in the future. I heard that DTA is easily programmed... Any other ECU options? I heard good words for Emerald ECU in this forum but not sure if they can drive 8 injectors and 4 coils if it is needed.
