Hi there,
I have a Lancia Montecarlo fitted with throttle body fuel injection. It’s an 8 valve twin cam, normally aspirated engine producing around 200 bhp. It has been running on an Emerald K6 ecu, but current changes have highlighted an issue that this old tech is unable to cope with and has proved impossible to map at low load and cruise. The reason is down to a very low vacuum reading (0.23 Bar).
Each cylinder is ported for a 4mm tube, joined and baffled before running to a 3 Bar map sensor with links to fuel pressure regulator and brake servo.
I am looking to upgrade to the Atom x and need to know if the software is able to read small changes in MAP? I see there is an option for a 1.15 Bar sensor, which will reduce the range but will it be enough?
The engine itself is good, with 175 psi across the cylinders and no air leaks anywhere else. Cams are fast road type and do not have a large overlap - for some reason just low vacuum.
Thanks in advance and look forward to any help you can give me.
All the best, Darren
