M42 Engine Map (DTA ECU)

[Minimayhem81]

Bit of a long shot but has anyone go a basic start map or values I can use to get my M42 running on my old DTA ecu?

Thanks Neil

You'll need to get a map with the correct firmware version (there were three) or it will either idle badly or not run at all.

Do you have the original BMW chip number?

Yeah I have the current ECU I can open this up if needed, but I can't confirm this is the original ECU for this engine would it make any difference? ( idles like a turd at the moment so could be?)

I don't mind if it runs badly as I will tune this out eventually as I'm converting this to throttle bodies... Just wanted a starting point as I can't even make it run as a standard engine yet.

I can supply a 318is bin (binary) file via e-mail for a small fee.

How would I use this on my DtA? The file type it opens are .MAP files...

Most software editors will allow you to convert between the various file formats - do you use TunerPro or similar?

[Minimayhem81]

I currently use the DTAwin software.

Does it not allow you to convert .bin files into .map ones?

[Minimayhem81]

Not that I can see...

[Speedtouch]

Isn't there a dedicated forum that you can visit for .map files?

Maybe I'll have alook
