Is any one on here running one of collins ecu's on there cosworth, just wondering what the functions are like on them coilpack,water inj...ect.
Was talking to Rapidcossie and he said AVA was mibi fitting one to his mates escos, just something i was thinking of as noone in scotland can map P8.

 

Sure i read somewhere that there direct replacement for the standard ecu so no messing with new looms.

 

ava mentioned this to me when i was in for a setup last month

sounds like a good item but costs a few quid

 

yeh think it does cost a bit, just trying to find out more about it first. Its just the fact of having to go down south to get the car mapped everytime the spec changes, when AVA is only an hour away.

 

just been on to there site and found out some details, looks like i will need to see what the cash is like at the end of the month

POWERCHIPS COSWORTH
HIGH PERFORMANCE
REPLACEMENT ECU
(8 injector capability, water
injection, water spray, antilag, launch control, shift light, distributorless ignition, Faster then Weber Marrelli P8 ECU, live mapping, comes with software, Fits inside std case, plugs
on to std loom.

Collins do know there stuff

 

AVA have spoken to collins regarding this and they will have one on trial very soon.

will be fitting it to at least two cars very soon if its any good

 

keep me posted then euan as my car will be needing re mapped next month, and the price for the trip down south, mapping and coilpacks are making this sound better and better.

Are these not the Secs S8 jobs under the Collins name?

 

Could well be seem to have the same sort of features, will wait to see how ava get on with the one they are going to be fitting.

 

I was at AVA on saturday with Euan to see about getting it fitted to mine.
Its gonna cost about 1400 quid for it to be supplied fitted and mapped.
Seams to have some good features too.
Im still at the runnin in stages at the mo after a recent rebuild but pretty sure il be givin the colins managment a go. Ill keep ya posted.

It could also be the GEMS implant boards that fit in the standard ECU case...

 

No it isnt. The S8 has more features at less than half the price.

The S8 will be available again early next year from a new company
that has bought the rights.

All will be revealed in a magazine article in the near future

 

SO HOW MUCH IS THE S8 ECU THEN AND CAN AVA WORK WITH THIS SYSTEM

 

Sure the secs is ment to be a prity good/easy ecu to map on so sure allan would manage to do it if he had the softwear, any idea on what sort of price it wil be from the new company Simon?
JAM:will wait till i get home from work on the 12th then give AVA a phone to talk about my options, either that or get it booked back in at MSD.

 

CAn alway buy my S8 ECU even cheper than the collins and its BRAND NEW !!!

 

what are all the features on the S8?
Anyone know if the new company that is taking over the S8 is going to give back up for the ones already sold.

 

Good news, Simon. How is the testing going on the windows software? Any closer to a release version? I am dead keen!!

Bump back up for SECS

 

Back up to try and find out some more info on the Colins ecu if there is any one running one?
Also for Simon (SECS)for info on the new S8, release date ect...?

 

i run a collins ecu in my 3 door
just over 500bhp but only had one mapping session so far by pts luton.

when i collected the car though i asked if my pectel 12 point ajustable boost switch still worked the air injectors and was told dont know!!

so i road tested the car and it nolonger has ajustable boost controll so it is running 32psi constantly

so i dont bother driving it when its raining

as for all of the features listed for the ecu i will probably only use half off them.

collins told me it would do lamda controll but its narrow band not wide band so waste off time.
wish now i would have saved my pennies and gone for a pectel t6 2000

 

 

Back up one last time to try and see if there is anyone else with experiance running one of these ecu's before i comit to one

 

im pretty sure im going to go for the collins ecu....keep posting guys???

 

well if i get my car back this week, might see if alan could fit and map it while im away back to work for 2 weeks.
Does anyone know if it will fit into any cosy ecu case(take it there the same) as im going to sell on my p8

 

been told its a straight swap neil,does yours go behind the glovebox like the 4x4 saph?

 

no they go in the footwell behind the kickplate but sure the cases are the same. Think the colins ecu has to be fitted into an original case, then its plug and play

 

Alan told me it deffy fits in the original ecu case mate

Jam

 

looks like i better get on the look out for a cheap ecu then, as the p8's go for too good money to start taking to bits.
So just to be sure does any one know for sure if the all the cosworth ecu cases are the same?

 

i sold an l6 for 50 quid...

they are cheap as chips now..an l1 will be even cheaper

 

yeh seen then on ebay for cheap Euan will need to speak to allan again towards the end of this week and see what the story is. would rather wait till i get my car back then get it booked in.

 

alan might have old ecu lying around?

 

yeh will ask him when i phone towards the end of the week, im away back to work in a week so idealy would leave the car with him while im away if they have storage space justnow.

would realy like to hear from other people that run this ecu first though as i know its pritty new.
