some info require about syvec ecu

[B13 JUS]

hi all i'm new on here,
i've bought a evo 8 which has a syvec ecu, not 100% sure if its a s6 or s8. its a complete ecu not just the board so i presume it was s8 from the pictures i can find of both ecu's, but i'm unsure??
can it be a s6 ecu if its a complete unit not just the board?? mine has 8 switchable maps if that tells you anything?

i've downloaded the software to connect the ecu to my laptop, i had a quick look last night but i couldnt work out how to compare the maps on the ecu. there is 3 different maps 1.6bar 1.8bar and 2.1bar
do i need to have the switch inside the car in the correct position to look at that map then change it and see what the other map is?

how do i save the maps thats on the ecu to my computer?

if anyone can help that will be great.

If connector has 70 pins it is S6, and if 88 it's S8.

I think if ya connector the laptop it's got either Dev S6 or S8 in the box at the top of the screen

Look at the screen shot here n you'll no wot I mean

Have a look here for a basic guide to the software suite

i've got this, but it does'nt tell me anything about multiple maps, if i save it as in the manual.... i take it, it will save every thing from the ecu?

i would like to know how to get onto 1 of the maps to adjust it and save that map by its self?

The "maps" are all saved as part of the one CAL (.SC) file.

Basically there are 4 base fuel (injector timing) tables and 4 ignition tables, which are selected as wished for each of the 8 (or 12 for newer S8 firmware) calibrations. Each calibration has loads of other things that can be adjusted relative to the base tables, such as MAP target offsets etc, and/or that can be enabled/disabled on a per-CAL basis.

Best is to load up an example CAL - or your own of course - and rummage through it!
