Volunteer wanted: 75/ZT 1.8T owner to visit Emerald (Norfolk)
Hi guys
I'm after a bit of help that will hopefully benefit anyone with a 75/ZT 1.8T that wants to move over to a fully integrated (including can bus!) plug and play aftermarket ECU. Here's a little background to the ask... I'm in the process of installing my forged K turbo engine (standard crank though) and the tuning capability of the standard MEMS3 ECU doesn't appear to be up to the task of 350+bhp. As a result, I've been looking into ECU options - however, the biggest stumbling block is the can bus. To that end, I've been talking with the tech department at Emerald and have sent them a spare ECU to tinker with. From their investigations, it would appear that the can bus used is the same as a BMW E46 / Mini going by the minimal bench test he has been able to carry out. They are quite confident that their K6 with can bus emerald ECU will work as a direct replacement to the MEMS3 ECU because they've already written the necessary code into their product for the E46/Mini. To be 100% sure, they would like to plug into a running 75/ZT 1.8T. They won't need to tinker or change anything on the ECU, they simply need to take live readings. My problem is, I don't have a running ZT/75 1.8T to pop with down with. With that in mind, would someone be so kind as to go on my behalf? Their address is as follows: Emerald M3D Limited Unit 6 Norwich Rd Industrial Estate, Watton, Norfolk IP25 6DR Let me know if you've any questions and if you can help. Cheers James
