Has anyone tried to Scan or maybe even flash a Mercury Racing (Boat) motor with EFI. I have been thinking that it would be just amazingly hot to be able to work with those engines on EFI Live.
EFI with Mercury Racing Motors?

Won't work.
2005 Silverado Duramax LLY - EFI Live Tuned
1969 Chevrolet C-10 Pickup - Turbocharged 5.3L/4L80E - EFI Live Tuned
1975 Avenger Jet Boat - 6.0L/Berkley pump - EFI Live tune in progress
Ive wondered about this too, I know the ECMs the Mercruiser sterndrives use are different than regular LSx ECMs so EFILive cant do anything with them. Are you talking about Merc Racing outboards, like the OptiMax XS? No idea what type of ECU they use...

2013 Sonic RS Manual - 1.4L I4T E78, tuned, turbo mods, etc.
2008 TrailBlazer SS 3SS AWD Summit White - LS2 E67/T42, bolt ons, suspension, etc.
2002 Chevy TrailBlazer LT 4X4 Summit White - 4.2L I6 P10, lifted, wheels, etc.
The new MEFI5 controllers are just an E67
I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.
Hmmm, didnt know that. I know it was asked earlier about the MEFI4 and it was said EFIlive wouldnt support them. But if the new ones are an E67 then it can probably be done, wonder what OS they use.

They were using a Motorola 555 but I'm not sure what they're using now. PCM 07. Not sure what that is?? The E67 maybe?Originally Posted by ScarabEpic22

I am also interested in using EFI Live to interface with a Mercruiser engine. I'm starting a project that needs to be based on the 8.1L platform and Mercruiser engines seem to offer a durable package for hard use requirements.
Unfortunately I have found that I have needed a Tech 1/DDT or the Mercury computer system to simply read codes. Alternatively you can get a Fast/Autronic standalone or Arizona Speed and Machine piggyback to make changes. One other option is to have whipple setup the computer. They apparently have the ability to change the stock mercury programming on some motors.

I have the 496 HOs in my boat and they run well. I think the processor is the moto 555. IT SUCKS when the guardian sets in though. Nothing worse than having only 90% available power when you are in a poker run.....

Have you guys been to - http://www.mefiburn.com/
Talk to Bob there, he should be able to set you up to at least the MEFI4B.
Cheers,
