I know my friend runs that on his Stealth, but I have never heard of it being ran on an FC. For the price, you could just get a Haltech.

So you just go out and buy something that is completely unknown to you? That's some strange logic. However, it will be interesting to see how it works.

It would take you about 10-15 minutes of internet searching to find out that nearly every standalone EMS on the market does this, and additionally lets you set the ignition timing.

BTW, here is the NZ website:

Hmmm.. Interesting.

Like I said, one of my good friends uses this on his Stealth. I did a cost comparison on the MAP ECU and the Haltech. I personally found the Haltech to be the better solution then the MAP ECU when applied to the FC specifically. If you do a dollar comparison, the MAP ECU is basically an SAFC on steriods. I have helped him tune with it though, and I will say this, the software is pretty good. I am going to link him to this thread, maybe he can shed some more light on this.

So what was your reason for choosing this product over the more common 2Gen RX-7 products like the S-AFC, E-Manage, Microtech LT8, Wolf3D, etc.?

While waiting for responses from current owners, what is wrong with you answering your own question, and stating why you like the MAP-ECU? After all, each response does bump your thread up to the top of the list.

I'm the guy that has the MAP ECU in my Stealth. I like it just fine. Works like a champ on my car...I can get my A/F exactly where I want it varying by 0.1-0.2 or so on the wideband. I went with it because my Stealth is OBDII and we have emissions locally. They hook up to the stock computer during annual testing so I can't go with a standalone. From what I gathered from J-Rat alot of you FC guys run Haltechs and there are alot of quality base maps floating around. Besides the initial install being more difficult the Haltech sounds like the path to take.

Nothing wrong with the MAP ECU...as far as I'm concerned its the king of piggyback fuel controllers. The thing that should make you think twice is that the Haltech is close to the same price and is well supported by the FC community.

now see thoses were the type of feed backs im looking for thank you TREVOR AND JRAT!!! Being i live in cal and have the emissions stuff , thats one reason im going with the mapecu, second even though i have the sc on my car, its not a full blow race , so i dont need all that other stuff. again thank you guys for your thoguhts , thats what ive been asking for out here, some people just cant seem to get that threw there heads, lol. thanks again .ps haltech is 1300.00 $ mapecu, this is 750.00 savings of 550.00 . i think the numbers speak for them self. thanks again all!!!!!!!!!

thanks again

The S-AFC sells for about $325, which is less than half the price of the MAP-ECU. I'm still confused about your criteria.

RX7FROMCAL

i have the safc, it does ok , but doesnt by pass the mass air flow on the rx7, the stock ecu with the supercharger, isnt cutting it. way to restrickive . the mapecu lets me get rid of that stuff. check out the link in my earlier post it will give ya more info. cyaaaaa

RX7FROMCAL

still looking for more people who run this type of ecu any help and thoughts will be great. thanks

I have been the moderator of the EMS forum for many years now, and I do not recall anybody ever mentioning the MAP-ECU. I would venture to say that you are the only person on this forum to choose this fuel computer, and I doubt that bumping the thread will help. You may want to ask one of the 2Gen forum moderators to move this thread to the EMS forum where it would get exposure to people with more experience with EMS products and/or other cars besides the 2Gen RX-7.

i have previous experience tunning a supra with a map ecu, i wouldt reccomend this deveice if you were to ask me. it eliminates the need of afm and runs a MAP sensor, you adjust the fuel map thru this device usign a laptop and thats basicly all it does. there is no timign adjustment. its just pretty much an afc that gets rid of the AFM. the afm is not a large restriction on a mostly stock car, so i dont know why anyone would run this and for someone who has a highly modified car i would reccomend getting a standalone. a microtech is a good cheap alternative.
