hi folks, whats the difference between the two, sorry if its a stupid question but tried searching and nothing

 

The P8 you can run closed loop as standard,also has the facility to run a wasted spark set up,it already has the driver board installed in the P8 but you will still need ignition amp,leads etc obviously.P8 is a faster processing/moitoring ecu,cleverer than the L8 but P8 are renown to have problems from time to time.I'm no expert just what I have picked up on as I looked into running a P8 on my car,I have L8 at the moment.
Your best bet is speak to your tuner/mapper as a few top tuners would prefer to use the L8 set up.I hope this helps.

Thanks.Lee.

 

cheers matey

 

so u cant run wasted spark on standard 2wd ecu?

 

Yes you can run wasted spark with l1,l6 and l8.
Just need driver board ,coil pack, twin ign amps. ,loom and ht leads.
Msd do the lot with diy instructions for Ł400

 

iv gota p8 for sale if anyone needs one

 

If u can run wasted spark on standard ecu then what are the benifits of spending all that cash on l8 p8?

 

L8 and p8 have the ability to run closed loop as standard

 

Sorry mate but whats closed loop?

 

upski!

 

Luke,closed loop is when the car will run at lambda 1 which is perfect fuelling at cruising speeds,air fuel ratio reading 14:7:1.It's standard on late sapps green stickered L8 and the escos p8 ecus,If you go onto motorsport developments website,take a look at the closed loop article that Stu has written,it will all be explained there for you.I hope this helps.

Thanks.Lee.

 

do u know if motorsport dev prefer l8 or p8?

 

Luke they prefer L8 m8.

Thanks.Lee.
