MAP
 

Hi,

do you think it's ok to install a new ECU and eliminate the MAF and use only th MAP? I have a my98 euro gt, I need a new ECU to do a remap so I was thinking in buying a 2nd hand LINK...

Bit basic by todays standard but cheap and it does the job.
Link on mine for a few years now, done pretty well considering.

Bad points of a link...
Having to wait a few secs for it to "sort it'self out" before cranking (just wait for fuel pump to prime) or else it wont start.
Idle is a bit hit and miss as there is no lambda control.
There is a knock count... but it isn't used to retard anything so if it's going to go tits up it will..
It has a annoying cough / jerk that's impossible to get rid of at one particular rpm point even though the two load sites are only one digit different it still coughs :rolleyes:

Your best bet if it's a first step on the mapping ladder would be ECUTEK if the ECU is compatible (round maf with two torx screws) (unmapable ecus have a square boxed MAF.
Why do you want to get rid of the MAF anyway?

my MAF as a square box.

I still don't have problems with the MAF, but a new one costs almost €500 and for €450 I can't get a 2nd hand LINK. that's why I was thinking in buying the LINK, this way I don't need to worry about MAF problems...
