2.9 V6 ECU mapping
Discussion
Has anyone ever had their engine properly mapped? I don't mean a Superchip, but a properly mapped ECU for the 2.9 V6.
As I understand it, the Ford EEC IV ECU is pretty well unmappable as it is a sealed system, so I am interested to hear from anyone who may have had a replacement or adapted ECU fitted to their car which has been properly mapped.
The reason I want it done, is that my engine will be bored to around 3.3 litres, with ported & flowed head, lightened, balanced and fitted with a fast road cam. To make the most of it, it will need to be properly controled via the ECU.

P.S. Estimated power should be in excess of 200 Bhp & 200 LbFt torque.

Paul,
Do you have a number for Power Engineering and an idea of cost?
A contact through friends in motorsport have put me in touch with Dartford Rebore who will be doing the rebuild on the engine and Baldyne Engineering at Biggin Hillare balancing it. (They do aircraft engines). The original engine hasn't been touched, so must by now, be less than TVR's 170 Bhp.
I already have one ECU mapping company contact number, but thought i'd see if anyone else had done it.

Paul,
I will contact Ferriday for the heads, they seem quite good.
Dartford Rebore do seem to do a good job by all acounts, and one of the guys there who runs the place is good friends with one of my best mates, so hopefully the price will be pretty good too!
Isn't life much easier with friends!!

P.S. I have found that the only company who can program the ECU once the engine has been developed is Superchips! They can do a full re-map and dyno on the rolling road for £600-£700 inc vat.
Power Engineering said they couldn't do it!
