The key to making any of this work is having the appropriate calibration files. Merc ECU's are password protected so you cannot upload them. Therefore you must have the correct file to start with, then modify it as desired.

a bit expensive but looks ok to me if just as a data recorder. bought one and will advise. smitty... we talked a while back about coatings and you said when you had your motor apart you would make a decision on whether or not you felt they were worth it.... anything on that ?

I'd like to know if it would allow me to go into a mefi3 and tewak it or not,I e-mailed the seller,waiting for a response. I'm working with rm builder on modifying a mpi top end for a n/a motor and this would allow me to dyno it locally,Smitty

Like Bobl said you will have to erase the merc file and have a base cal file to start with or one that someone else has come up with for your engine combo, then fine tune from it.
Or you will be starting from scratch making a cal.
Smitty I bet Tyler put a password on your ecm, your going to need that to do any recalibrating, I wouldnt think the tuners will give out the passwords ,thats were they make there$$

As stated previously, you cannot simply go into the Merc files and modify them. You need to have a program to upload after you delete the Merc program. The Merc programs are password protected and need to be deleted to access the ECU.
That is going to be the hurdle to over come with any system.

Seemed too good to be true. I see that they are listed as "Out of Stock" on this software on thier website.
Stevesxm,
Please let us know if you are able to get a copy and how it works. I would buy it in a heartbeat if it does what they say it does (although the beta thing scares me a little).
