Running two maps on PCV? Even with Ivan's ECU...

Lumberjack · 05-06-2016, 12:51 PM

I am am thinking of leaving my aftermarket fuel processor in with Ivan's ECU flash because I will be reverting back to stock ECU occasionally and I want the ability to tweak either ECU. I will zero out map on Ivan's ECU however.

Anyone running two maps on their ECU?

The instructions are a little vague so I called Tech support and they said to connect switch to one set of inputs only. I believe the software must be configured with a default map? When you close the switch I am guessing it will go to the other map?

Why would you need to return to the Stock ECU? Just curious.

Availability of premium fuel in certain areas
I have a spare ECU - It's a control thing

No need to spend 50.00 on the P.C. switch. I got a On / Off toggle switch from Radio Shack for 2.00. Latter I bought a Marine switch from Amazon. Use 2 wires that fit into the PCV. When you plug your P.C. into the PCV. It will ask you what position you want for which map.

Not buying their switch and know you can use anything. My question is do you install the switch on one set of inputs (1 or 2) and then configure in the software? The manual shows only one switch hooked up and doesn't say which set of inputs to install in.

Note: I haven't used the software yet so perhaps that is why I am wondering.
