 M3DK Engine Management system  

The Emerald M3DK engine management system handles full 3D mapping of both ignition and injection on normally-aspirated and turbo-charged engines. Its easy programmability and flexibility in adapting to existing engine installations and sensors make it a particularly good choice for people wishing to convert to mapped ignition and/or injection.

The pricing of the unit is very competitive and support both pre and post-sales is available. The calibration software will run on any Windows 32-bit platform and is provided free with the system. There are no hidden costs. The software is intuitive to use and DIY mapping is entirely feasible. We can offer a full calibration service if required on our own rolling road. We have many maps available to suit a wide variety of configurations to get your engine up and running easily.

Power and innovation

The system will take inputs from a number of OE distributor types including those converted to run with an optical trigger. The ECU can be configured to run as a full distributorless system using a number of crank trigger patterns, including the Bosch 60-2 (Vauxhall/GM, VW, Porsche, BMW), 36-1 (Ford Zetec/Duratec), Honda and Rover K-series.

The system is fully plug-compatible with the Rover MEMS system as fitted to the 'K' series Rover unit used in the Caterham Seven and Lotus Elise. The software provides 32 speed sites(up to 15,500RPM) and 16 load sites with tailored load site grouping, allowing super sensitive mapping around part throttle to improve drivability. The injection software provides the same number of load sites and speed sites, and also allows for cranking enrichment, acceleration fuelling adjustment, cold start correction, water and air temperature correction to both fuelling and ignition settings and Lambda sensor feedback. Map trimming can be done both 'on the fly' - dialing in timing and fuelling settings while the engine is running, or on a download basis.

M3DK units incorporate a shift light, user-tailorable soft and hard cut rev-limiters, tacho drive and tacho tell-tale.

The software allows the ignition and injection maps to be presented as surface contour graphs which greatly enhances the visibility of the calibration settings.

All M3DK kits include a comprehensive illustrated operating manual, ECU loom plug and pins, wiring details with pin-outs, comms lead and full operating software.

We have used the M3DK to good effect on a variety of different engines and have a library of maps for these engines in various states of tune, particularly the Rover 'K' series as used in the Caterham Seven, Lotus Elise and MGF.

Other notable engines include Golf/Audi 1.8T, Golf 8/16V, Ford Crossflow, CVH, Pinto, Zetec, Duratec, NatAsp Cosworth, Cosworth V6, Peugeot 205/406 8v/16V, Rover V8, Jaguar V12 and Vauxhall 8v/16V.
