Performance Motor Research MAP-ECU2
 

Ok, so this is the piggyback i'll be running in my MX-5 ("miata":jerkit:). I've already bought it, so i'll be using it regardless, but I was wondering what you pro's think of it. It seems like it's got everything you could want...

* Fuel control and Air Flow Meter replacement
* Timing control with +/-30 degrees adjustment. Full timing advance and retard control of up to eight (8) channels for Distributor, Group Fire or Coil On Plug configurations using a 20 x 19 (380 zone) table.
* Two (2) complete sets of Fuel, Timing, Auxiliary Injector, O2 Adjust and EBC tables selectable using a dashboard mounted switch.
* OEM O2 Sensor Adjust 26 x 19 (494 zone) table allowing control over Air/Fuel ratios, even in Closed-loop mode.
* Auxiliary Injector control using a 20 x 19 (380 zone) table.
* Electronic Boost Control with ten (10) zones every 1000 RPM
* 0-10,000 RPM. 200 rpm increments 0-2000, 500 rpm increments 2000-10,000 for Fuel and O2 Adjust tables. 500 rpm increments 0-10,000 for Timing and Auxiliary Injector tables.
* Built-in MAP sensor, +35 PSI. Pressure scale is user configurable using a MAP-CAL.
* Frequency based Speed Cut Defender (SCD).
* Frequency based Speed Adjust
* Voltage based Fuel Cut Defender (FCD)
* Launch Control - Target RPM and Clutch Switch input.
* Two Complete (2) maps (Primary/Secondary) for Fuel, Timing, Auxiliary Injector, O2 Adjust & EBC - selectable using one of the configurable inputs.
* Support for optional external MAP sensor input.
* User selectable pressure scale configurations
* Plug compatible with current MAP-ECU harness.
* Three (3) multi-function high current switched outputs configurable as follows:
• NOS solenoid drive
• RPM>0
• Pressure Switch
• RPM Switch
• EBC
• Auxiliary Injector


* Upgradeable software stored in Flash memory that can be downloaded using MAP-CAL. Does not require removal of MAP-ECU2 from vehicle.
* More horsepower and torque by removal of the restrictive factory air meter and control over timing.
* The ability to use the stock ECM to control larger fuel injectors and/or performance upgrades.
* Alter OEM Air/Fuel ratios, even in Closed-Loop mode, for improved gas mileage or power.
* Retains the daily driveability of the stock ECM which is usually sacrificed with a full aftermarket engine management upgrade.
* Real-time tuning using Window™ based MAP-CAL2 software supplied with the unit.
* High-resolution 494 point Fuel table (0-10,000 RPM and -10 to +35 PSI) allows fine tuning for performance and driveability.
* Ability to run different fuels or performance levels using two (2) completely independent Fuel, Timing, O2 Adjust, Auxiliary Injector and Boost Control tables switchable on-the-fly.
* Built-in display and logging of key engine parameters such as RPM, Throttle Position, Boost Pressure, Airflow, Timing Adjust, Auxiliary Injector Duty, Boost Control Duty.
* On-board support for display and logging of popular aftermarket wideband Lambda sensors/controllers.
* On-board programmable NOS window activation switch can also be used to turn on other accessories at set RPM/PSI points.
* Faster and stronger boost with the on-board programmable Electronic Boost Control (EBC) using solenoid control of the wastegate.
* Fast and repeatable launches using the on-board programmable Launch Control.
* Removal of factory Fuel and Speed Cuts using the on-board programmable Fuel Cut Defender and Speed Cut Defender.
* Compensate for wheel size or gearing changes with the on-board programmable Speed Adjust.
* Drive a Shift Light or alter VTEC™ point with the on-board programmable RPM Switch.
* Single unit can be used for Naturally Aspirated or forced induction applications with user selectable pressure scale configuration.
* Simple upgrade from MAP-ECU using the same 16-Way harness and ability to import and convert V2.1 and V2.2 Fuel tables.
* Simple piggy-back installation only requires 7 wires to operate with no major re-wiring of OEM components.

Sorry if that's too much text to digest. Well I'm not really.:fawk:

So is this good? bad? lacking important features?
Intelligent discussion/appraisal?

never heard of it.

Was searching for info on here about these on Miatas. MAP ECU is big in MKIV Supra community. I used one on my BL67 MKIV. I'm thinking about using one on my Miata to take a road less traveled. You can toss the AFM, it's nice. The newer ones have timing control and other cool features but I'm not sure how much more expensive they are.

you gotta find someone to tune it cuz nobody here will be able to help you.

If you can get a base map from their forums, that will be a start. It has a follow-me function where it plots the cells on the fueling table that the car is using under boost. I had a good base map and took it locally for tuning (you adjust cells in the fuel table and watch your afr's, pretty basic tuning) so I didn't try tuning myself. I may give it a shot and post up about it. I'll be running the BEGI FMU and a Walbro 190 for a little while first though.

At first when i saw every thing i thought it was the greddy e-manage ultimate seeing how it dose 95% of the same stuff i just dont know if it dose any form of 2 step. If i were you i would look into the greddy same price and also you can get a plug and play harness from boom slang. plus there are people here running them that can help you out on tuning your car.
