Good ecu ?

I don't know much about motec ecu's so has anyone had any experience with them

RickDraper

Its as good as the person mapping it.

So if the person mapping it is good at mapping multimap setups with throttle bodies so that they do a series of maps with one for each 15% of throttle angle it will suddenly mutate itself to be as good as them even if it doesnt have that option when it comes out the box?

Wow! Thats truely amazing.
Well, either that or you are talking shite and it actually has its own limitations like ALL ecu's

RickDraper

Most ECU's are quite capable imho it just depends how good the mapper is and how well they know the systems.

Got a set of Det cans and now he thinks he is a god...

Ive not used one personally mate, and I like to stick to things I have firsthand knowledge of.

Motec in general has a good name though, and proper motorsport pedigree.

i done a small bit of mapping on one a few years ago, and just found the software was a little fiddley, i cant really remember why

Mark Shead

Not much wrong with them, But the options and programing cable will break the bank.

Seriously overpriced, software not overly user friendly, although that said, I havent used the very latest incarnation yet.


And it wont make your car any faster than using an ecu half the price....or cheaper.

What features does the M800 specifically offer, that makes you think you need it ? That a cheaper ecu wont do.

Dingy

Its on a car that I am looking at, so just doing a bit of research.

Not interested in whats best and whats not etc just if its a decent ecu.

pa_sjo

Yes, it's a decent ECU.

GaryEvo

its a great ecu ive had one in mine for years and does every thing you'll ever need

as mark says options and programming lead arnt cheap plus if its locked may need returning to motec to wipe it

MikeR

It is used alot on Evos, i think Simon Norris uses it a fair bit, Christian from APT will have had some experience of it as Gary had it on his Evo,

I looked at it but it is very expensive comapred to the likes of Autronic etc

over here they wnated 5k to switch from standard managment to Motec

StephTell

Had Motec in Nissan GTI-R rallycar, never had any problems but never had to fiddle with it either (wouldn't have known what to do anyway), had a cableconnector for laptop and dial to switch between mappings if I recall correctly.
Car was running TB's, STOOPID cams and high comp.

stevieturbo

Without a doubt, the M800 will do pretty much anything you want it to.....just at a price.

It is a very good ecu. But I wouldnt be rushing out to by one.
