To be honest - I wouldnt go there - my friend had his Fury (which I fitted a Mazda V6 in , same setup as mine) and he spent four hours on it , and
finished up with what looked like generic `four valve' map.......................the fuelling was all straight lines right across the map , req.
fuel was set at 18 (mine runs 8.2) , and while it `OK' and made 206 BHP , cruising MPG was around 20 compared to 38 on mine , and he claimed the
fuel pressure was dropping off at full throttle.............
In short.............not impressed at all .

Hello Everyone!
Please let me put the record straight,
The V6 referred to was fitted with 2 sets of motorbike throttle bodies, the car came here running on 5 cylinders at best, the problem was traced to a
faulty linkage on
one side of the engine, i balanced the throttles and modified the linkage FREE OF CHARGE.
We proceeded to map the car for the next couple of hours, it was clear that there was another problem as we started to map the top end of the rev
range at full load, so
as i normally do i fitted a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel line so we (the customer and i) could monitor the fuel pressure at full load. It dropped
off at high RPM. So it is a FACT that the fuel pump was weak or a pipe is restricted in the fuel system.
This may also be the reason why the map looked odd as i was effectively compensating for low pressure during mapping, but until the pump was sorted
its impossible to tell.
All the above was witnessed by the customer, the engine made good power considering the exhaust system was wee poor, the customer went for a test
drive and was VERY pleased, he commented it was the best it ever went.
The customer was was over the moon, just like all my customers! If you know the customer (i dont have is number) and he is not happy i will PayPal a
FULL refund to him directly.
i have fitted megasquirt ECUs to tractor pullers, microlights, drift racers and a drag racing landrover (fastest in the UK) to name a few.

Hi, i have not used Emerald before, but have used most others(DTA,MBE,OMEX). To be honest all aftermarket ECUs perform the same function, i like
Megasquirt because its adaptable and reasonably priced.
I friend of mine (who rents my dyno from time to time) uses Emerald on Nissan 300XZ's. He has been working with Dave Walker to make a PnP kit for
the 300.
I'm happy to map an Emerald, no problem!
