hiya all,
Been having a load of problems with my flapper engine.
Finally after a mega trouble shooting session...i am left with the ecu
The 14CU it think, but its been rebuilt via lucas a few years ago now and has LRZ123 on the box orginially from the sd1 vitesse.
Need to know what options are available as regards re-building this unit.
Is it worth rebuilding standard, or can it be modified for tuning purposes.
I know the chip is ferranti and none adjustable in my ecu.
I need to know before i decide what to do next for fuelling.
thanks
scott richmond

If you read this
http://www.vintagemodelairplane.com/pag ... ECU01.html
you will see that the Range Rover/Land Rover unit actually runs in a vitesse system but with a possible idle speed problem that I'm sure could be adjusted for with the idle screw and /or mixture control.
There are a couple of these on EBay at present.

They do not normally fetch much money (20 to 30 quid) so its worth a punt and if you find that either it wont run your system of your existing unit is ok you can sell it on or keep it as a spare.

hiya,
yes sorry for the mistake.
I've just brought a range rover flapper ecu from ebay.
At least it will be another component to rule out if nothing else.
Need to try and my car running for the rest of the year...if possible...
As its getting me down not been able to get out in it.
Think my longer term plan, maybe next year will be to ditch the flapper efi and swap over to something a bit more tunable.
I dont want to go for far, just would like a decent running engine, which i've never really had with the flapper type efi.
thanks
scott
