Default MAP-ECU 2 Released!

http://www.mapecu.com/map2.html

So I've been trying to decide between a MAP ECU and AFC NEO for tuning my stock twin'd 1JZ. I went to the mapecu site today to find out the new MAP-ECU 2 is now available. It's intriguing with its full timing control.

Does anybody have some insight into this new unit?

Its was said its very similar to the original MAP ECU but with some extra features such as timing control and more readability/tuning.

Overall I think it'll be a great product provided you have someone around your area with the know-how of operating it.

It will be a good product, But there is only a select few who have tuned a 1j with Mapecu successfully. So find someone with the knowledge

I have the MAP ECU to run my T67 1.5JZ. The setup and software are VERY easy to use. There are only five wires to splice and its relatively small so its easy to mount. The tuning softare is simple. My tuner had never heard of the MAP Ecu when I brought it to him but he is proficient with AEM and the Power FC. Anyone with a basic tuning knowledge can pick up the MAP Ecu in no time. We had my car idling and street tuned for 15psi in about an hour and a half.

MAP ECU
I can only imagine that the MAP ECU 2 is even better.

What was special about using the MAP ECU with a car that already has MAP instead of MAF? The instructions mention something being different since the MAPECU will not need to emulate the OEM MAF signal.

I agree... MAP-ECU was created to replace a MAF. COnvert a Karman signal to a MAP signal. But 1JZs are already MAP based.

Its not just to get rid of the maf, that was just a benefit you get right off the bat. Map ecu's are pretty popular for their price and are supposed to be easier to install on jdm 1j/2j motors. The map ecu 2 now has a 2 step, and full timing control. It also has its own built in map sensor that will probably cut down the install time even more. From a general consensus, most supra tuners around the country recommend a map ecu over an safc or somthing similar.

Nothing special really, there are just a few things you do differently in the software setup vs. setting up a MAF car. It idles and controls my 780cc injectors just fine.
