Back, been so busy not had time to come on forums recently. Never had a January like it. Anyway...
In my world, my definition of live mapping is one where any change I make is instant and does not require a reflash or re-program of a rom chip. Nistune is live mapping, running emulators is live mapping, programming an eprom testing making changes erasing and programming again to test is not live mapping.
Flash re-mapping is not 'live' in my books either, as it can take several minutes for the flash to be burnt before it can be tested.
Hope that makes sense
I sell type 3 boards for about £210 ish, if you come to me and I supply and map I fit them for free.
If I supply the whole package Supply fitting mapping dyno, road test and engine setup etc comes to £495. This is the same for Nistune or Non nistune boards that need rom chips programming simple because those cars take longer to do.
For remapping nis-tune ECUS is £150 + dyno.
For remapping non Nistune boards (rom boards like the PLMS and others) is £200 + dyno. They are more as they are a ball ache compared to nistune - especially some of the Jap boards.
Hope this makes sense
