PeeWee Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 (edited) In all fairness and not being nasty here but we have a section dedicated to all these questions here.This often covers various makes of Ford (sometimes non Ford) so feel free to use it as such. I also removed all the pics you put in here (same ones you have in SUYM) again because we have sections made for purpose.

Stu Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I don't know anyone who can live map the ST170 ECU, apart from Ford! I'm not saying it can't be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNDQ Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I don't know anyone who can live map the ST170 ECU, apart from Ford! I'm not saying it can't be done. I bet they cant even do it more than likely used someone else to develop the maps then just locked the ecu's. I cant see ford using a mappable ecm on a 170 it wouldn't be worth it as it wasn't used in motorsport etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Ford can live map all their ECU's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNDQ Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Ford can live map all their ECU's. Im sure they prob can as they didnt map them selfs but i bet they wouldnt do it thats for sure, i would also think the ecm's are fairly limited to what they can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
