Looking at changing ecu on my mk2
Currently an old mbe 967

Xe engine 280bhp jenveys
Coil pack cossie crank sensor

Was thinking pectel t2
Or basic dta

There's literally LOADS of good ECU's out there.

It all depends on what you're requirements are but I'd suggest a DTA S40 / Omex 600 / Emerald K6 as good starting places.

Pectel T2 is a bit old hat TBH and isnt in the same league as newer, more modern management.

I would not recommend the S40, go to at least the DTA S60. It's better featured and has datalogging. But it wil certainly run it fine, do sequential box etc etc

But as said. Who will be fitting and tuning it ? Is it basic you want, or something fancy ?

If you arent fitting and tuning it yourself, make sure there is someone handy who is happy and competent with whatever ecu you choose. Although the DTA's are very easy to use.

Was going to suggest S60 but it seemed with the spec the OP had posted..

Jenvey TB's
Coil packs

he wouldn't need any functions approaching that of the S60. For basic fuel/spark, the S40 can do that all day. I agree that if you want to play with lambda, logging, traction etc then the S60 is the man for the job.

Again, OP needs to tell us what he wants to do with the ECU and car and whether he wants (or indeed NEEDS) to be exploring more advanced functions like those mentioned above.

I will be tuning it myself
And won't need anything fancy even in the future just somthing simple and bit more up to date

stevieturbo

The S40 would do it. But I'd still say S60 if for no other reason than the datalogging, which can help tuning and diagnosing problems.

Ive heard a guys name, Henry Roy up your direction who might be a dealer. He has a couple of base maps for Hondas with the DTA software.

Failing that, Martin Fox, mefmotorsport is very helpful and good prices

andrewg

Yeah I know Henry he knows dta's fairly well
Think it will be dta I go with

Q milne has dta in his new mk2 although didnt look at what one it is. Think mate has a spare never used s80 for sale but might be a bit ott.

Andy what features and outputs exactly will you need, I can tell you what the t2 can and can't do as it is basic, but may do what you need as it simple to run. As your used to the pectel software

stevieturbo

I know you say now you just need basic...but it's always nice to have a little future proof built in. And as I say, I consider datalogging as an essential if it is available.

tarmac terror

I agree with what you say 100%. i have a Syvecs S8 in my Skyline GTR and its a phenomenal piece of kit!!

If the OP is happy with his current engine spec and use of the car then nothing more complex than fuel/spark management is required. Theres no doubt In my mind that he would surely benefit from closed loop lambda control/ knock sensing/ logging, hell, possibly even traction control but if he wants something that will do the job and not cost lots then the difference in price between S40 and S60 isnt really justified IMHO.

It is worth it for the datalogging though. S40 doesnt log.
