boards- these are a board to go into the webber ecu's, eg anti lag boards, boards for W/I, boost pot's ect ect
t2- a ecu designed for formula fords, now modified to run turbo engines ect its a very good little ecu with everything needed for a basic road car engine
t6- like t2's big brother, this ecu has anything you can ask for really ! it also is a awsome ecu and we use loads of these !![](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/roi.gif)
pectel monitor- a monitor to see what your engine sensors are doing basically, it does revs, boost, ect, act, tps, ect quite a bit, you get versions that can do oil pressure, egt ect,
im sure most of them were made to work with the webber ecus but you can get versions to work with t6 ecu
t2 will not work with it unfortunately though although the secs monitor you can use
hope that helps a bit

Is t2 a bit basic in terms of features,
switchable maps
closed loop
single cylinder injector mapping
anti lag
water injection
coil on plug
how many load sites per rpm on each ecu?
etc etc what else I would use can t6 do over t2
sorry for questions you have probably answered a
million times lol
low impedance
switchable maps
closed loop
single cylinder injector mapping
anti lag
water injection
coil on plug
how many load sites per rpm on each ecu?

low impedance
you would want t6 in this case
t2 is far more basic
t6 will do low and high impedence
switchable maps
closed loop
single cylinder injector mapping
anti lag
water injection
coil on plug
all done on the t6 fella
the t6 you can put in how many sites per how ever many rpm you want iirc i might have have some screen shot pics i will post if i can find
the only thing it dosnt do is fly by wire throttle if you wanted than, anything else im pretty sure it would
you would need to have a 36-1 pront pulley
and cam trigger set up would go nice
![Big Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
basically the t2 is simple, boost control fuel pumps and rev counter are the 3 inputs we use on a road engine you can mix and match for others but im sure its only 3 rather like autronic iirc
t6 has alot more

What would u sugest then for 3 different sorts of budgets?
Cheep - fast road
middle - road -track
expensive - all out
Not just cossys but in general?

L8 with or without pectel assistance is an amazing ecu on its own without a doubt, just alot of people want the messabout factor of being able to fook their own map(s) up !
but it is down to if your chosen tuner can map the marrelli systems, if not you could end up spending more money in travelling than paying for an ecu that he/she can map locally (if you constantly need changes)

Same as most cosworth parts in general or anything associated with them, to me it was a good price as i said will do everything i need, think proper looms retail at 500+ then the NTK lambda's for 250ish and pulleys and other sensors, it was a late ecu and basically used for 1000 miles, Was also my tuners advise to go for T6, that was enough for me.

To clarify the difference between a Pectel Board and a Pectel ECU...
Pectel did NOT have anything to do with the original ECU, that was made by Weber marelli in Italy and as std incorporated a lamp output that was capable of sending out flash codes to indicate errors. IE: 10 flashes = CTS. ok?
Pectel, are a company that (i believe) formed in the 80s and soon became masters of the Weber marelli Ecu systems and their affiliated soft/hardware. Back in the day, the cosworth was fast becoming the engine of choice for fast road and motorsport but the hurdle most couldn't overcome, was making the ecu's run the modified engines PROPERLY.
Pectel designed a system that would allow people to map it easily, with a DOS based mapping interface. They perfected the mapping and run software and it worked flawlessly in the ecu. The run software like any other, is the "Operating System" that runs the hardware that you know as an ECU. PC buffs can liken a chips software to their motherboards BIOS.
This is where Pectel differs from a company like myself, we will make the existing run program do what we want it to do by adjusting its maps and calibrations and then burn the modded program back to a chip, Pectel cleverly designed a whole NEW run software system that bore no resemblance to the original at all and could be adjusted map by map using the mapping software they supplied to their customers(Pc buffs.. a bit like the difference between, Award and AMI bios. Both totally different, but with the same end result)
What pectel then had to do was protect all their hard work:
The mapping software (Called IEMS for L1 = 8 and IEMS P8 for P8) was simply that, a software program that would be ripped off in no time. They programmed a dongle for the parallel port and that would ward of most thieves, but still made it a one time only purchase, not exactly business idea of the year, so what they did then was, back in its day, quite unique...
They altered the mapping softwares "Save" program so that when you had finished your maps, and saved them ready for burning to a new chip, the program "Encrypted" the file so it WOULD NOT run in a marelli ecu.![](http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:passionford.com/get/forum/images/smilies/icon_smokin.gif)
How did you get it to run?
You bought a "DE ENCRYPTION" or "PROTECTION" board that would translate the encrypted message from Chip to ECU. This hardware was copyrighted and only available through Pectel. Now they had a viable product and every time someone made a new performance chip with their software, even if they had ripped it off, they had to purchase some hardware from Pectel before it would run an engine. The board is now widely knows as the Pectel Board.
Ingenious.

Don't' take this as a dig but why do you insist on using such exotic parts when really there are plenty capable ecu's available for far less ?
Life Racing ecu is no more than something to sound uber cool on spec sheet, the car and what you potentially plan to use it for do not warrant it IMO and that could be said for many ecu's and their features. Cars that run such Ecu's tend to be money no object builds, the best possible components used throughout the car making it vertially bulletproof, if you think the rest of the car is upto that standard then maybe its worth considering but otherwise its not.
Don't get me wrong though IF you really can afford to throw that sort of money at just an ecu then fair play go for it, personally I'd use something that will more than manage and keep the rest for other parts the car maybe could do with.
Just my 2p's worth.

lol t6 for pub talk
imo its completely wasted on anything less that a wrc spec'd car, or a car that actually needs all those aux inputs and outputs.
or again if you need individual cyclinder trim to accomodate the pub inlet![Wink](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
dont get me wrong its a great ecu, jsut think people buy it because its the thing to have, rather than because it suits their needs
