Megajolt / Engine ECU question
Before I start looking in close detail I was hoping one of you guys might be able to cut down my search time.
Ideally, I would like a ECU with switchable maps. These being something like:-
Economy - Good fuel efficiency, motorway cruising, etc.
Town - A big reduction in horspower, maybe 300bhp or so. Just for heavy trafic / general use.
Country - Full wack 700+bhp (playtime)
This I was thinking could be on a rotary switch which would be selectable by myself and preferably whilst driving. I know there are ECU's with
this function, but does anyone have an idea which ones ?
Cheers.

All three are acheivable on the same map by fitting a throttle pedal that is continously variable between "on" and "off".

Current thinking is that this sort of thing is purely a gimmick for the "go faster" brigade.
A properly tuned map on a correctly setup engine will give you all of these styles of driving dependant upon the weight of your right foot
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want!!!

Thanks for all the replies, at least now I have a little direction.
I understand about the right foot but I am just not that self restrained, if the power is there I'm just going to use it. So if I can limit the
engine to 300 for general use its better for the engine, service intervals, fuel bill, points on the licence, etc. Then I can switch to full power for
the odd track day or sprint.
Danozeman, its a skyline engine.
Thanks again.
