Tiny Tim Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Is it possible to remap a Caterham supplied MBE 967 from an R300 (K Series) to a map suitable for a Vauxhall 2.0XE engine 🤔 Will a Caterham supplied ECU be 'locked' to prevent re-mapping. Thanks Tim Seven Goes Mad in Dorset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pikey Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 the one on my Sigma 150 was locked. jason  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 In the absence of an unlocking code, I would guess that Steve Greenald at Track and Road 07774 773824 may be able to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 If it's a bespoke K-series ECU it will not have the trigger pattern used on the VXÂ Â Let me know the software version and I shall check... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFA Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 The MBE ECU's have several areas of electronically eraseable storage.  One such are contains the map for your engine. You can erase this and load a new map even if your ECU is locked. If it is locked you simply cannot edit the map which is curently residing on the ECU. The next area contains the cmos microcode which gives the ECU its intelligence, rather like the ROM code on a mobile phone. This code also contains some configuration parameters which cannot be accessed via Easymap. One of these is the trigger wheel configuration. You need to change the configuration to the 60-2 trigger, or fit an external pickup and wheel to your engine.  If you speak to Steven Greenald, as mentioned by Roger, he has the software tools to reflash the ECU in its entirety. This will download the selected cmos microcode for your desired configuration. Takes him a couple of minutes so should not be expensive. Edited by - EFA on 13 May 2009 23:32:25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rj Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Tim As emailed yesterday, this is the bespoke K-series software. The only pattern supported is the 36-4. Might be possible to have the ECU re-flashed, but not a DIY job. /regin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Tim Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Steve Greenald has checked this out for me and apparently the MBE for the R300 cannot be converted to the vauxhall. Something to do with the firmware only recognising the K series trigger wheel. Seven Goes Mad in Dorset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
