Default I know this has probably been asked before, but mapping...

Following on from JohnnyB's post about megasquirt, this has got me thinking.

I would like to ultimately map my own car.

I think i'll buy a shitter of a car with EFI and attach the megasquirt to that.

Now, as you're all aware, i know little / nothing about mapping.

I want to learn though.

I am going to read Stu's Mapping essay.

Does anyone have any pointers, or should I give up?

don't give up, you have to start somewhere, but from my limited knowledge on it, i would say be prepared for a very steep,long learning curve.

i think a course at college/uni would be beneficial though

good luck

there is a few books worth reading,,, one wrote by ben strader, (efi101.com) and one wrote by dave walker

you really gotta understand why you are mapping in numbers before you can go out mapping! there is millions of books that help you understand engines
