Yeah, but at least the plug and plays are cheaper than the standard M800.

 

Sorry for butting in but can you get FD Harnesses already made up or do you need to Mod the Motech Harness into the stocker?

I need a EMS at the moment and have been put off the PFC so my options would be a Microtech or Motech? TBH i'm thinking along the lines the Motech is a more stable EMS so may be better spending the extra??

The only thing is i'm a little put off using a stock Harness? I don't know about every one else but mine are getting brital and already damaged two on my last rebuild so i'd have to buy a new stock loom to cut the Plugs off??

Also is the M600 the one to go for on a Turbo'd 13b FD?

Cheers.

 

One of my main original reasons to going to standalone, but not a PFC was my brittle stock wiring harness.

You don't need an M600 to run a turbo FD. An M2R, M4, or M400 will run it as well. The M2R is more in the league (price and performance) of the microtech and haltech. I wouldn't necessarily reccommend a MX00 series ECU unless you are very serious about the performance of the ECU.

 

right on, that is the same reason I got my M2R. My old harness was hard as a rock.

 

I have an M4 on a single turbo setup. I live in southern Michigan. Any good tuners in my area that you guys recommend?

 

i was under the impression that the stock ecu on an fd was pretty decent. I know of a few FDs that are built and all they use is the PFC. what would you need the motec for?

 

Hi..


Does anyone have any experience running Motec on 13b PP motor?

 

Your best bet is to contact Roger Mandeville @ Mandeville Autotech. He has extensive experience tuning and setting up P-ported motors with Motec ECUs.

 

Thanx but got one who are tuning the motor, but was just woundering about positiv and negativ experiences on running Motec vs other brands..

 

Take a look at the Pectel SQ6. It is a BEAST of an ECU in terms of hardware, features, and datalogging. It has a lot of advantages over the M800. Pricing is comparable, but it includes more standard features like 2 built in widebands, 2 built in egts, traction control, and lots of logging memory.

 

I probably will run the Motec system, because he who is going to map the motor has tuned motors whit motec before..
Don`t think he has ever done Pectel, and I don`t want to be the one paying for him to "try" to map it.. If u see what I trying to say..

 

so im just doing research for later use...but anyone here have personal expercience with motec? also how do you like it so far?

 

i'm looking at the motec unit.. $4k for the ems ... ouch! (this is why i'm looking only)

 

i know what you what you mean. thier pricey i would post a link but im on my psp..but does that include the harness/connectors? some models dont include harnesses...

 

You can always get the Motec M2R, I heard it's in the $1,700 range. I was planning on getting one but lack of support around here in my area is discouraging me.

 

You live in CA? There has to be a zillion dealers on the west coast. You do not need to go to a rotary shop. You would probably be better off going to a non-rotary shop actually. The guys in the Porsche/BMW world seem to understand the fundamentals a lot better than most but not all of the mail order turned tuner shops currently in our community. Go to Motec USA and ask for dealer in your area.

Keep in mind the price of the ECU does not include the harness. I would budget another $700 in materials and $1,000+ in labor for that. Also, you will probably want to unlock some of the options (wideband ect) and each one costs a few hundred. The M2R unit is cheaper, but it is based on the previous generation units. I think it is worth getting an M400 or M600 instead.

 

To add to CMonakar, Justin Nenni comes to SoCal for group sessions with the supra guys once or twice a year, and he is a GREAT tuner, and im pretty sure he can make your Motec go.

 

yea im looking at the m400, but im not worried about labor..ill be doing the wiring....i wont be doing the tuning...but i am not cheaping out on a tuner for i think the one whos doing the tune decides whether your engine lives or not (assuming everthing else is done correctly)

 

...or a Microtech system from Rene (61620B)...much less than Motec....he also has Haltech experience.

 

PM Stylemon

 

maybe the last resort...

 

We are a dealer and can get you setup.

 

sweet finally someone here....ill be sending you a pm..

 

I bought a Motec M 400 from Gotham Racing,is not installed yet.
With all the accessories is almost 5k.....

 

i got qouted about the same......
