Im building a 2.1 zetec turbo and i needsome advice on management. I was going to use megasquirt but then i read a little on gotec. What route would be the best to go down?

 

The best route would be a decent ecu, like Pectel T2.

 

Im running gotech, very good ecu, not sure why it wouldnt be a decent ecu? Does everything you could possibly want, and you can map it yourself easily.

 

im running a pectel management with pectel wrc loom mate, spot on.

 

The main resons im opting for these ecus is because im running mfi and i want a reliable and want to run a safer engine with a good map. What gotec ecu are you using and does it have the same features as the mega squirt. Aslo are there any gotec or megasquirt friendly rolling roads for mapping. Are they quite easy to map yourself if i have never done anything like this before? Im fairly confident in doing things.

 

Well you're not gonna be running MFI on a 2L, are you?

 

Il throw another brand into the equation..

Read up on Emerald K3 ecu's I recommend that route.

 

they look pretty good. not a bad price aswell.

what about dta ?

ive got an ecu for sale

 

is anybody running an emerald ecu?

 

Gotech has everything you will ever need, i have the most basic ecu they do and its very good for the rs turbo, jamsport will fit and map it for you if you want, the ecu comes with a base map on and its very easy to go from there just plug your laptop in and start adjusting. My local rolling road took about 2 hours to get used to the software and thenn started mapping my car, said its very easy to use.

 

cant agree more about the gotech got it on my series2 and its well reliable and comes at a fair price

 

I run Emerald on my car and ran it on cvh and now the zetec turbo

 

jamsport r the leading suppliers of gotec management.jamie can also work to customers specific budgets.well worth it mate

 

the first step I would take is find a mapper you like and trust, then listen to his advise based on experience as no matter how advanced any engine management is, you will find its performance is only as good as the mapper.

I run cossie management myself, which you may not have considered which is very effective and popular

 

How about a nice Omex system?

 

I have now second rs turbo going on with megasquirt v 2.2 package.
I think its great for its price and easy to map.

 

Nice and Omex in the same sentance can only mean one thing... sarcasm

 

Could also mean you sell Omex

 

im running gotech mfi on my drag car , recently ran 153kw atw at 1.5 bar boost on a dyno , not bad considering i used an egt and af meter and about 5 hours on a quiet piece of highway - hoping to get it to gotech about 5 km's down the road from my house for a proper setup when time permits. its really easy to use once you get your head around it

 

select a tuner near to where you live or one that you want to use
ask them what systems they can map
then go from there

 

none of the gotech ecu,s are mfi

 

I would say Nira i3+ I´m going to use on my new engine..

 

Its Gotech Micro Fuel Injection

 

megasquirt

 

I run Emerald ecu, very good ECU.

Mine has been mapped by Dave Walker who is Emerald along side Karl.

To be honest it depends on who you choose to map your car as it is that person who will be working with your ECU.
