To all pro/home mappers
i want to learn how to map cars with a possibility of changing career at some time in the future.Im not entirely sure if this is possible.Is there any literature or courses/qualifications?If i changed careers can i specialise in mapping cars?Im gonna try and map my own car to start with,when ive found out enough about it.Any info would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,pete.

my advice is not to bother, at least not just mapping alone. It's very much hands on, experienced based learning, and you will probably make some costly mistakes along the way.

Dave Walker has written a book "Engine management"
its published by Haynes and is about £18 with the emerald software with it.
its as good a place to start as any.

Go for it there's not enough mappers out there....this is a good start:

It will give you an idea, get ALL the gauges Knocklink, WB, maybe EGT you wont need them all eventually but while your starting. The E-manage is an excellent system the only caveat is its piggy back, I have heard the standard ecu "compensates" for it after a while though when the engine's not doing as its told.

Keep an eye on ebay for cheap e-manages.
The one i've looked at came direct from the US, forget the company name but as usual it was much cheaper than the Uk suppliers could do it for.
Never heard of PerfectPower, as for Unichip i'd go for the e-manage personally.

Mapping your own car is a good thing to be doing, but a career in mapping is what I was talking about Re not bothering. Your own car is a good start, and then you can move on to "willing victims" this is how most of us started. But you do need to think about blowing peoples engines up, verses getting good results, it's a fine balance and takes time and practicle experience. Even the most experienced mappers will learn new things.
