can anyone give any insight on this, is it good?? Or should one choose another standalone??

[nervas]

it's expensive, there are more others at better price for 5cyl with direct ignition. but you should talk to people who will be installing and mapping it to you.

Great system,altough because of its age there are now better ones out there.
You will need an "Ignition expander" to drive 5 coils ,and also igniters,MoTeC has no built in igniters.

If you have the money go for the M600 or even the M800,much more flexible systems.

I can say they woth the money if you are involved in ECU tuning.

ok

because i can get one for 14 000,-Nkr with trigger wheel and 3plated clutch.
with harness ready for 5cyl car. Used on a 470hp s2

M48 is ok for 3B cos of single coil...

M800 is better way for multicoil setup like ABY/RS2.

Expensive stuff MOTEC but does seem to get good reviews and has been used to good effect on same highly tuned I5T engines. The Dialynx hillclimb/trachday shorty conversion is the most well known one that comes to mind.

Strongly suspect 034, VEMS and others will be cheaper from new. Choose wisely... I have no idea how much an 'NKR' is worth in real money

[urquattro-island]

ehh

well Nkr is norwegian krowns... 1 900gbp...

we called um norks when we went.

we chuckled a bit about spending titties

Not as funny as having 'SEKS' in your wallet when travelling to Stockholm

[urquattro-island]

so

are you guys saying this is too expencive and that i should move on??

[GazzaG60]

its about what will work best for you.

if this is a tried and tested good solution what is the reason it is for sale for?

motec have always produced good stuff but it doesn't have the best reputation for ease of setup. im no motec expect so maybe somebody else.

wouldn't mind some "SEKS" to go with the "NORKS"

.

I thought only Motec registered dealers were allowed to make ECU changes...as long as you're happy with their tuner rather than your own.

[urquattro-island]

haaa

is this true, one can not map on his own??

[Flat on my back]

.

Quick email to Motec should confirm...wasn't the Dialynx car at Brunty with the Motec techy doing his stuff. Article was in Audi Driver a while back.

Can be programmed if its not password protected.
You can download the program for it for free.
M48 can also run 5 coils ,no problem there either.
Its also very important which options are unlocked,everything like Overrun Boost,Traction Control,Wideband Lambda,has to be bought.
But yes,the M600-800 are much more flexible ecus in every way.
You should also check the serial of a second hand unit (by emailing it to Motec),if its stolen or not.
