ECUs... whos running what?

So the MGF is still running a bit rich (understatement!)...

my lotus garage have a spare GEMs ECU from a 190bhp k-series motorsport elise which they used to have...
they said they would do me a good deal on it...

question is does anyone run a GEMs ECU, does the wiring loom on a Late MGF fit it?

anyone got a pic of a late MGF wiring loom ECU connector (dont have the MGF with me today)

Hopefully gonna get the GEMs unit and take the car to Torque of the Devil for a full custom remap to make the most out of it and ensure that the cars running good without killing the gearbox and a nice flat gentle torque curve.

Cheers!

I'm running standard mems3 so :dunno:

All this torque of ECU, Mems3 etc confuses me...

Seriously, Good luck to you Ozzy and all others who mod their cars, I really mean that.

Mine is for driving, bog standard and I LOVE IT like that!

Looks like the Mems3 unit is compatible with both Emerald and GEMS ECU's...
Just hoped someone on here might be running a custom ECU to make the most of their Mods...
will keep you all posted...

Hi Ozz
I use a dual map DTA unit, so I can have a traffic friendly map and one for full perfomance.

Thanks Chris, where did you get that from, and who did the mapping? what was the rough cost?

I got the ecu from Ric Woods Motorsport, and mapped it myself, cost me around £450- £500 if I remember correctly quite easy to tweek on the fly with a lap top.

have just been offered an elise trophy race cars Emerald ECU as the driver is upgrading to a Track Days ECU for better data logging!
hope he comes back with a good price

Emerald ECU purchased £450 whish seems reasonable as its only 16 months old, comming off his car in 3 weeks, so just need to keep the miles low on the MGF till i can get this fitted and re-mapped.
Hopefully that will sort it all out!

A bargain mate well done

also another stroke of luck, Dave Andrews who did my head and Cams has an emerald map for same spec engine, but with a 52mm throttle body instead of my 48mm (which im keeping as it gives better torque which is better for the auto)... so mapping should be about £90+vat on a rolling road... (about 1hr) which is great

also bought a 4.0l V8 jag yesterday which is going to be stripped down to go into the Lotus Excel so good news all round yesterday!
