catastrada Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I plan to upgrade my standard K1.6, year 2004, so the ECU is EU3. I bought BP270H cams ("old shape"). I bought a pair of Vernier. If I understood right, the ECU has to be "remapped". CC can do this for 150£ + P&P + VAT (including immobilizer re-synchroinization). Does someone knows what CC is modifying to the ECU and if somene else can do the job ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie adams Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 i have just had this done by cc at the same cost. they will need both immobiliser fobs, ecu and immobiliser unit. it is expensive but definately worth it. i dont know if anyone else can do it ............jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I would think not. As part of the ECE approval the ECU has to be protected by a code... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catastrada Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 I'm not sure but it seems that it is not CC who remap the ECU but PTP. I asked them and they answered they can do it, for 125£ + VAT + P&P but answered that BP270H cams have the wrong lift and duration 😳 So I'm a bit lost now as I know that many K engine are running perfectely with these cams. I beleive I will send my ECU to CC then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinwhitcher Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 With the BP270H cams we are all running Emeralds ECU not Rover ecu, the emerald can be re-mapped Martin MW 51 CAT Superlight No.171 now known as:Superlight DVA 207 Edited by - Martin Whitcher on 1 Mar 2006 08:58:17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 That might not be so easy for Catastrada as he is overseas. The standard remap for him is probably the simplest option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinwhitcher Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 just thought is the 270 profile the supersport cams? if so them it will be ok Martin MW 51 CAT Superlight No.171 now known as:Superlight DVA 207 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 In my experience the BP270s are very tame and run happily on the stock ECU provided the timing is right. Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catastrada Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 Dave, Thank you for your input. When you mention "stock ECU", do you mean "stock remaped ECU" or stock ECU without any remapping (mine is EU3) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 dave either means stock EU3 ECU or stock EU3 SuperSport ECU if it is the later and you need one, they pop up on ebay form time to time... My MSN Space and Blog - Syndicate Using RSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Richard Price Posted March 1, 2006 Area Representative Share Posted March 1, 2006 270's are similar to the Piper 633's that I've got - Mine ran fine with the stock ECU - the only thing being that max power was very close to the 6800 rev limiter. I swapped to an SS ECU last winter that liberated a few more revs (800), but I don't find I need to rev that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catastrada Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 Valuable info That's why my initial request was to know what is done during the "remapping" done by CC. In other words, what are the differences beetwen a stock ECU and an SS ECU, except the rev limiter that is higher? Thanks Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Bowler Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I thought I saw something about a change to fuelling with the SS ECU change. Plus activating the shift light. I've fitted 633s, verniers and 52mm throttle body with standard EU3 ECU and it runs OK. Idle is a bit lumpy, but I quite like the noise. I was thinking I'd need the extra 800 rpm, but, the car seems to run pretty well, and if, as Richard suggests, I won't get much (if any) more power with the extra revs (it would just be easier to keep it in the power band) I think I might save my money (or put it in the Emerald fund).

jamie adams Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 i had the dave andrews k13a upgrade which saw an imediate improvement in all areas and was quite happy, but dave recommended the ecu upgrade which made a real difference particuarly in the midrange. i believe the k13a head is mainly cams so the ecu upgrade may help.

catastrada Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 I now need a SuperSport ECU (EU3) 😬 Either I send mine to have it remapped or maybe someone has one in his garage and can make me an offer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 The K13A is head and cams... An SS ECU will raise the rev limit and will improve the idle and mid range a little. The cams are close enough to the SS cams for it not to matter, an SS ECU or a stock one should be fine provided the cams are timed correctly. oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
