Anyone any experience with the self-mappable Mines ECU, how effective they are, where you can get one and whether there are any alternatives?

Never seen a mines one you can map yourself.

There are a couple of options. Greddy Emanage (not a true ECU but a piggyback thing), Apexi Power FC, any aftermarket motorsport system if you can be bothered doing the wiring, Ash's Zemulator (EPROM emulator with PC front end), or wait for the free Zcontrol to be finished.

Thanks for the info

 

I got the Mines ECU reference from an article in "Japanese Performance" mag where a guy had fitted T28 turbos, 555 injectors and this Mines ECU which apparently maps itself (I assume it reads all the sensors and itself works-out the optimum fuel metering). Power output was quoted/measured as 457 bhp at 0.95 bar (or thereabouts).

 

Do those mentioned do the same or similar and what are the experiences? Plus the obvious question ... what is the "Zcontrol"?
