MoTeC M84 ECU

[jsws3]

Or you could use a Maxxecu and have a legend like jonus racing map it on a dyno through quattrocoachworks .

The m84 is a entry level ecu from motec not that there is anything wrong with it .

Did motec m84 have knock control?Maxxecu don't have .

I see, it plugs into an Android tablet. Sounds frighteningly expensive though!!!

It costs not much more then a m84 mate .
And you have the benefits of seeing what the engine is doing via the tablet with out having to mount any ugly gauges .

Motec is considered as a class of it's own. No offence to anyone.
M84 is entry level, does not have knock control etc. But if the car runs E85 or you map it quite conservatively in regards to timing, you do not really need knock control.

For cylinder-selective knock control on Motec you need a M400 or M800 series ECU and additionally either the knock module or for the M800 it is possible to fit a plugin into the ECU itself.

Won't be running E85, just V-Power, it's only a road car. M400/M800?!? this is all getting out of control. I simply went to VRS and asked about getting a hybrid turbo and a remap, now I'm in for a little more than that... my head is spinning!!!

[Error404]

May as well do it right first time, you'll end up doing that anyway

I simply went to VRS and asked about getting a hybrid turbo and a remap, now I'm in for Borg Warner EFR 6758 (though Will's just emailed me to say he may put on a 7163 depending on 'some results coming in next week'), MoTeC ECU, Wagner manifold and evo intercooler, custom 3" exhaust, uprated con-rods, sputter big-end bearings, optimised head with 3 angled seats, Bosch 044 fuel pump and motorsport injectors... my head is spinning!!!

Best thing to do is set a budget and a power gole if you can't budget for all in one go if that's the way you want to go save up and get it done all in one go so your engine bay will not have to be worked on time after time as some damage to paint work in that area may happen .

And look around and get plenty of quotes for the work involved .

Speaking to Will for 3 hours and seeing some of his work gave me a lot of confidence in him, when I rang MRC it was like talking to a pillow, showed no enthusiasm...

...just got back from seeing Jupiter Ascending with Kit... not helping with my state of mind...

This is some very sound advice, consider your goals and budget and make choice's regarding components accordingly, you want to get the work done in one hit as it saves a lot of time and hassle. However you already know this and you're actively seeking advice from some of the most respected I5 specialists in the UK. I have to say I think we have a classic case of spec creep here, billet RS2 and a remap, yeah right.

That film made very little sense, most of it was baffling, however I didn't mind paying a tenner to regard Mila Kunis for a couple of hours and she did a cracking job of offing Stephen Hawkins despite all manner of fire and peril (moderate).

I'm another who uses the MoTec kit. Supplied and fitted by Will at VRS, mapped by Dave Rowe.

Can't recommend those guys enough, superb advice and quality workmanship.

As for the MoTec it ticked all the boxes and entry level or not, it is more than suitable for our application.

Get it done and enjoy the results with a big grin!

[malncol]

yes motec is the go and with our aussie dollar the way it is at the moment definitely worth a look
iam running m800 with c125 dash and yes any real tuner should know motec
You have dave rowe on you side of the ball so you have a guru at you fingertips
thanks

Thanks for the feedback people, does anyone know about anything I mentioned before about the 'D' series displays and 'C' series display/loggers, as I said, is there any need for a 'C' series when the M84 ECU (or whichever) logs data anyway??

[SE_30]

I've retained my original dash pod. So I'm not using any of the displays. I didn't see the benefit of buying and fitting a display as its main purpose for me is a road car, with the occasional 1/4 mile & track events.
