I've got an Ant chip in my B28 and it runs very well. I'm just wondering if:

1) Can you live map / rolling road map Motronic
2) If so, is it worth doing?

I quite like the idea of keep motronic as it works well and is very reliable but I'd like to be certain that the mapping is properly optimised. I've spent a few years umming and arring about megasquirt or Emerald but haven't managed to talk myself into spending the money!

Jazzman - Contact ShepsEvo3 on this forum, I'm pretty sure he can live map motronic systems now. His garage is on Castle combe doorstep.

I built a M20B28 first using AFM + Ant chip and the later went MS. With MS i gained 5bhp and more torque cannot remember how much but the engine started, idled and ran much better in traffic / normal driving with Motronic than MS after spending one day on dyno.

Hope this helps

not yet no, maybe this year :D (I have this slight issue with no roof and the UK having crap weather, so the last two rolling road event I had planned to go to were drenched :lol: )

Oh well, just curious to know what power your engine build made... especially with chipped motronic. :)

Some time later in the year I'll see about getting some numbers when we have a stretch of good weather.

Would have been funny to take it out in the snow but I would probably :cry: if I hit anything!

not yet, one of those things I plan on having done :) I've been thinking about having a live map done as it seems to be running a little rich.
