So it seems Moates doesn't sell the road runner emulator gut-kit anymore. Is it only because the kit is temporary sold out or is it gone permanently? And if so, why?
If it is gone for good, has anybody some info about any good and affordable emulator as an replacement for the road runner?

Shoot them an e-mail and ask. I haven't heard back from them yet, curious as to what they say. I personally haven't gotten mine to work reliably yet. It works for the most part, but will shut the engine off after anywhere from 3-4 changes. It's a pain, but I can still get the job done. There are also different firmware versions that were sold, and I was told I have the buggy one. |

I gave up on mine. Never got it working.
And in experimenting, I think I managed to burn it out, since I can no longer load it.

I remember our convo about it back in the day. Any interest in selling it? |

OK, so the RR is kinda buggy and unstable. Pity. I think I have read the same thing you guys said from people that used the RR for tuning their LS1 V8s.
So does it exist any other affordable emulator that can work for our ECUs?

Sure but it is definitively AS IS As in, "it is broken, don't blame me if you can't get it working" make me an offer, including shipping, i'm in socal. You'll have to source the headers, I don't have spares. I'll include the ribbon cables though. PM or email me directly. |

Not that I know of, and I've been on the lookout. If you run across those threads on the ls forum again, could you pm me some links? Interested to see what issues they've had. |

yeah, I'm not sure that falls under the "affordable" requirement. it does however solve the "emulator" part of the equation.

That plus you'll have a tough time getting it working with a hacked winols... you'll have to buy the real deal or forget it. |

I've had my working since I worked with Moates and Tunerpro to get it up and running and the swap board made. Yes it is a bit buggy but on the whole works ok,
Need to make sure the ECU has the checksum turned off really, and you can need to reflash the eeprom a few times, but on the whole its ok. Plus very handy!
There is a version of tunerpro which supported 16bit emulation and also worked well with live logging that PRJ setup..
Shame the stopped it though
