Go-Tec Advice.
Spoke to Jamsport today and decided to buy the go tec mfi ecu and loom in kit form.
Just wanted to speak to someone else who has used this on there rs turbo.
Any info would be great as im new to the aftermarket managment thing
Cheers

Was considering this if I can get it as a kit rather than supplied and fitted as I like to do my own work as being a pinickety sod I trust very few people with my car (which is in no way a reflection on JamSport, it's just me)

More satisfying too

Thats exacly what im doing.
I have most of the bits needed to fit it and tbh i dont fancy paying Ł1600 for somthing fitted for me when i could easily do it myself in a day.
I'm just getting the ecu and loom with cd-rom and data cable etc fit it in the car using a mix of frst efi bits and bobs.
Then just going to buy a base map from them to get it running.
Extra mapping/tuning can take place at a later date.

You'll need a Map Sensor, Injectors, Sierra Alternator pulley and CPS, Seirra Alternators, EFi inlet, Adapter plate, EDIS, Coilpack, leads etc...

Only thing is i dont wanna use the sierra bits.
They sit fuckin rubbish, look rubbish and i cant be bothered to drop the engine out.
There must be another way.
I think you can use a cossie cps bracket off the sump? I fuckin hope so anyway

Will Gotech onlly run the cossie pattern crank speed sensor?
Surely it can run 36-1?
Out of interest, how much is a Gotech ECU without fitting from Jamsport?

What is a 36-1? Is that a trigger wheel? And how would it work?

The MFi and MFi Pro both have built in MAP sensors, and if you are keeping the standard distributor, you don't need a crank sensor as the hall effect in the standard distributor works perfectly.
If you are using the Pro and want coil pack, you will need to use a crank sensor. The easiest option rather than messing around with Cosworth bits is to have your block drilled to accept an EFi CVH crank sensor, then use an EFi flywheel. Much neater and a lot more reliable.
You will of course need to either swap to an EFi inlet with a spacer plate, which in my opinion is not the best way to do it, unless you swap for an EFi head at the same time, or get Jamie to convert an MFi inlet to accept EFi injectors and fuel rail, which is what my engine used.
Let me know if you need to know anything else.

Just re-read your previous post, and if you want it done with minimal effort (i.e. without dropping the engine out for machining) then my advice would be to keep the distributor. This is how mine ran for ages and it works perfectly, the only reason we swapped to coil pack is because we upgraded to the Pro ECU so we could run launch control and full throttle gear change, and it seemed like a waste not to make use of all the features

Hi,
When i made my setup to fit cosworth management (weber marelli)
i looked at the route of flywheel trigger for crank sensor, except in my case
it would not be 36-1 setup. drilled the block with a template from a efi cvh.
then, changed my mind and had a disc made as per my instructions, and fitted a bracket to the sump for the crank sensor, if you do a search for trigger disc's you will find someone, or have your own made. i did have a company in my favourites, but lost when my pc last crashed.
Regards Dave R.

It the Basic MFI system that allows you to connect that way, I was using it on my 166.6mph motor.

What do you get with the Go-Tec ECU features wise. I'm not after a whole load of toys just something that will work and allow me to iron out the nasty flat spot as I shift from 2nd to third.
