Etec HO vs regular

[Laker]

Good question.

[Sam Baker]

Only one person I know has the software to do it and he races out at Blarney Island. MTS1 here on Screamandfly. He said if anybody wanted to race out there he'd map their ECU for them so I guess he can do it. Don't know what he charges.

[E-tec1]

First of all i never said that,secondly, the epa has not allowed it yet, so when i get the ok from powers that be, i may talk about it.i saw a post where u were talkin about involvement in racing was declining, yet u went out of ur way to make this project difficult to continue, make up your mind,thats ok, theres talk about making nationwide rules for this motor so the little blarney crew can continue with makin whatever they want up on the go.there may be one less boat out there next year too. good luck promoting racing

Who told you that? A name & a way to contact this person/s would be better. You have made an accusation here that requires proof.

What software?
Where did it come from?

You are 'Very specific' Sam. Time to fess up. or apologise.

[jphii]

I know who he was talking about, and I know that person WILL NOT do that to anyone's motor. There are reasons for it, and it really doesn't need to be discussed here.

[E-tec1]

Lets put this simple, any motor manufactured after 1998 that has any emisions sticker, cannot be modified in any way unless it is used in close course sanctioned racing, period.Mine is raced only,i know others are used on public waterways, Does this clear up the questions?????Lets not open up that can of worms.

Yep. BTW, I'm still waiting for a call.

For the moment we can still modify our motors in the Great White North

the "near" stock E-Tec is winning races against the modded 2.5's.

Sam ran JohnRudes and couldn't win then switched back to Merc.

Now we've got a guy running an E-Tec and trying help get feedback back to the factory so some of this knowledge may trickle down to us little guys and Sam bitches??

I have heard many, many stories about the tech issues at Blarney and still seems to be totally dependant on who you are as to whether you pass tech or not.

Have heard even more stories about how stock Sams motors are Give us a break Sam.

The guy is doing a ton of good for us old beat up OMC guys.

WTF good are you doing for anybody???

It's really a shame too because it's a great race with a ton of history that they try to keep the rules simple on so it's easy to keep the races going and then you get one guy raising hell.

"ONE" freagin guy has worked his ass off to get the thing figured out and now someone is raising hell and calling him a cheater becasue his fuel curve is re-mapped???

He's running a freagin fishing motor against factory race motors for christ sakes!!!!!

Leave the freagin guy alone, let him race and lets all keep our fingers crossed that BRP pays attention and helps him out!!!!

The EPA issue is a moot point really.

I mean everyone knows you cannot touch a post '98 motor unless you are racing it.
To my knowledge no one is checking motors here in the U.S. yet but we are all smart enough to know what is legal and what is not.

MTS1, don't give up just becasue of one idiot!! You've got a ton of fans watching what you are doing and are all behind you.
You need to give Al Stoker a call and ask him about the bull **** he put up with when he started winning w/a JohnRude!

Wonder if I can register as a part time Canuck eh?

[D5GT]

Ok, what should I do, I need (want) those extra 25hp (225 to 225 HO) If I go to local dealer, are they able to change mapping?
Does someone else this kind "tuning"

My question started discussion which I did not ment... maybe I should ask more specific: Can my Evinrude dealer change mapping from 225 to 225 HO? If we'll get along about costs..

For you knowledge, I live in Europe, not in US.

At here, we have many "gurus" who are mappin' car engines again, but 2 stroke.. they don't have any experience.

Sam, you want new people racing and supporting the sport but then your out spreading rumors and Lies like this about a new guy… The only reason to say untrue things like this is to upset MTS1 and his project. Your smarter than that… If not then keep your mouth shut!

In my opinion Sam has done a good job of helping to promote the sport. If more bracket racing was done then most of this bs would go away. I don't know what happened at Barney Island (sounds like some Barney Fife stuff to me) but I bet it wasn't bracket racing. I love to go to a race and see all manufactures there, but bracket racing cheapens the sport and helps more people get involved. Period. Were not the average boaters here, and we should be figuring out a way to get others involved instead of bashing each other and the manufacturers. Just my two cents. By the way MTS1, I hope you get that BRP stuff available to the rest of us. I might strap on an E-TEC myself. I've got plenty in stock.

Someone told me that a Canuck was an Eskimo Jew.

He has for sure... At times.
Then you have to mix the rest of this BS in..
