Is it worth going Emerald Ignition?

[brummiewedge]

Has anyone gone this route, and what did they gain?

[trackcar]

funnily enough i'm doing my megasquirt on my V8S right now, gains should be braodly similar .. so watch for an update in teh next few days, assuming it's poor little 107k mile engine doesn't protest too much

Hope you are having fun with you new RR Jules

Megasquirt has the advantage that you can map it yourself and there are many custom maps off the shelf.

I think Daxcobra has it.

I spoke to a guy about a fully mapped ignition and fuel system. Seemed mega expensive, but you could try them. www.dtafast.co.uk/

I would be intersted in the results if you do go this route.

Megasquirt is of serious interest due to its cheap cost and high end functionality and the fact that it is evolving all the time.

The 520 uses DTA and the system is excellent.

I never had any problems with the emerald Joolz fitted to my Chimaera, in fact im considering sticking on the tuscan now...

Any kind of mappable ignition is a good route to take regardless who makes it!! not perticully needed on low compresion engines but an absolute must on modded engines!

I've been running an Emerald for about 6 years and it been great, easy to set-up and use, still evolving ( The latest can now map itself to a target lambda map) and you'll gain mostly in the mid-range and drivability probably about 10-15Bhp on the mid point but it'll also remove a lot of the mystery about any electrical faults as you can talk to it at any time


Alternativly as a really easy installation you could just buy my car.....
