Thinking of buying one, mainly like the idea of being able to constantly upgrade without buying new chips. However would like advice about some things is it possible to upload a standard stage 3 map to the ECU to start with? Is the mapping cost the same for a ecu like this as it would be to have a chip live mapped? And finally if I did go for one where is the best place to get it mapped close to bristol??

 

i am getting one off secs if simon actually lets me have one he can read then copy your old chip to start with then improve it

 

Thats sounds just like what I need to start with

 

do u want it this year or next year or just sometime in the future

 

I have had no dealings in the past with Secs and am prepared to give anyone a try despite what others have said on here. I have seen a number of posts regarding him and his products and all of this has been considered. Therefore if I decide to get one and end up waiting ages then you will not see me complaining on here.

 

the software even comes with a "get you running" stage3 map that you can download off the website (its got a silly low revlimit n stuff tho)

i'd expect it'd be same price (if not cheaper) to map the S8 than a cossie ECU as it's easier for the mapper.

 

But then if i was to fit the relevant lambda sensors could I not tweak the map and raise the rev limit gradually while keeping an eye on the fuelling?

 

Anybody got any experience of this ecu? not looking for waiting times etc would like to know geniune pro's and con's

 

Speak to Simon himself at the next club meet mate

Clever man and very helpful

 

I was planning on it if I can make it, but would like some impartial advice from people you have used them, I may give simon a ring and see what he says

 

The ECU is sound,m8 of mine had it fitted on his small turbo escort runnings 803s and hes well chuffed there worth it and as u live nearby you need to make it to the next Group meet..

 

you wont be dissapointed it does every thing all the latest ecu s can do and
more ive got the latest version on my rs turbo will be getting it back anyday
harveys mapping it at the mo u can map it your self if your got a laptop
im leaving to some one who knows what there doing


ps thanks simon for coming up to harveys so quick with the ecu
top respect to ya hope i didnt cause to much bother

 

Rich J S2,
No problems - Your car looks pukka and its well converted !

avengerpenguin,
If you want a demo anytime, drop me a PM or email and I will meet up or you can
see it work on at least 5 cars that are in our RS local group.

Things have changed alot over the last 3 months and as my customers
will testify, things have changed for the better.
Even some well known traders on PF have and still are using my products including
some well respected people/tuning companys and even on non Fords.
I suppose people like you will never let go of the past or give anyone a second chance.
I think now I have proved my worth to the majority of people who have had
dealings with me and as you have never or ever likely to be
a customer of mine you will never know.

 

Spoke to Simon today, very helpfull and friendly chap

Saving up my pennys for one of his S8 ecu,s for my track car when they come out next year

 

I've got one, works very well. karls going to do some tweeking to the map and Simon says we should be able to use boost control and lambda controlled part throttle fueling and stuff as well!!!

Coolio

 

mmmmm maybe i might fit it to my escort???? (once purchased)

maybe i could adverise for you simon

though people might confuse my escort with a lawnmower

 

how does it compare to gems ?

Im just about to make a decision on management

 

i didnt think gems liked forced induction?

 

I'd get SECS, Autronic, Pectel T6-2000, or Motec myself.

 

nah mate gems is one of the best management systems out there, most of the uk rally guys run gems on cossies, scoobs and evo;s

autronic is another easily available option to me porkie, what you running ?

 

 

bbigman, youre right i just checked the website n its a different ECU i was getting confused with

 

nice one do secs do all the install and a road mapping session ?

 

no they dont bbigman, states that on the website.

install is piss easy a 5 year old can do it (its plug n play)

 

yeh cool jim, I take it it uses all exsisting sensors to monitor the engine then, autronics etc will use new sensors that comes with the ecu which need to be installed.

cheers jim

 

Yep it plugs in and runs
he can suppy you with a good map for greens as well but u do needd to get it set up on the rollers
