Can somebody recomend me a good standalone ecu. lm sick and tired trying to remap my MP3-2 ecu. Was on the dyno yesterday for remap nr.2. Everything looked ok on the rollers, but this morning the cold start was way to rich. Did run the engine warm, taked all the plugs out and cleaned them. Then l replaced them and drived 3-4 km and took them out and they had started to be black again.

Dta Smile

But depends what your mapper preffers, cold start is slways a little tricky unless you have done several engine builds along the same kind of spec.

Another vote for DTA, although I'm biased as I run one. Yes

Never had any issues with the DTA units, but as Welsh says, coldstarts take quite a bit of time to fine tune usually.

DTA here also. I was impressed with the amount of features the bottom of the range S40 offered.

    I use one as the Super High Boost setup is different to the normal low/high boost layout, therefore you can't use the standard ECU anymore.
    Plus the DTA is so easy to use and you get more accurate results from it. Yes

    I tend to use Omex on all of my car's, Good system and easy to map plus allot of people in the UK at least knows the system,

    But as always use the system your RR likes to use, knowledge base helps allot

    I've used KMS MP25 on MI16 engines, not that expensive and works really good.

    DTA for me too, had an S60, now got an S80. Software is dead intuitive, you could literally work it out just by messing about with it for a while. I didn't find the Omex software as good, but have used their ecu's before with no issues. There is a DTA forum too with some knowledgeable people on it which also helps!

    And yeah, cold start is a pain, even more so with big throttle bodies as air speed is so low on cranking, and then as soon as the engine has run, even if its just for a few seconds then you can't do it again for a good hour or so. I used to start mine, check plugs, alter map and then come back a few hours later and try it again, took ages to get it right.

    My coldstart isn't perfect, but it's pretty good and I'm happy with it. Just takes a few more cranks than normal to fire and then runs sweet.

    Mine would be a bugger to start unless I pressed the throttle a bit, as soon as it fired it was away but starting from cold with a closed throttle just wouldn't happen. (I was on Omex but that's a symptom of mapping not the ecu)

    I can start mine from cold with the throttle closed, but it just takes a few more cranks than it did when it was standard. Yes
