MOT Time Emerald ECU

[chrispitman]

Have any of you guys running the emerald with standard exhaust gone through an MOT yet.

Currently running de cat manifolds and decat dustbin. I Need to put the cat back in where's it best to put the lambda as I'm only running 1 wide band.

would put it just before y piece join as both banks shouldn't be that different and it's only to get it through MOT.
Got to do my y piece yet went through MOT without lambda connected at this years and it sneaked through

My 500 got through with nothing more than a slightly raised tickover.

What type of map were you running, the one created on the RR or a map running / setup via closed loop lambda.

There is a handout help sheet that Emerald prepared for MOT tests and Cat running.... mines on the back of the Cold Start sheet. Just had a very quick squint on the Emerald site but couldn't see it there, 'though it is online somewhere as I've tripped over it recently. If anyone wants a scan of it, I'll do one and post up or mail on.

Interstingly, the Cat commentry indicates full time running with a cat is not a problem (have seen it said it might be due to lack of mix 'cycling'

Funnily enough I found that cold start doc last night.

I have a question, does it matter where BTDC the crank sensor is mounted?

Not physically, because the ECU can be configured accordingly...there are some recommendations that are supposed to give the optimum results however. The JE kit is a neat solution for Serp motors

Cheers, what are the reccomendations?
I was thinking it shouldnt be too close to TDC mark, to give the ECU more time to calculate??

The default setting is 120deg and the recommendation is in the range 60 to 120deg BTDC, which is stated to 'give the most reliable gap detection'
