Motec M800 Tuning Problem

gtr's been in at the tuners for 2 weeks and I think they are stumped... they showed me some data logging and at WOT the line zig zags up and down about 300rpm and constantly adjusting timing like its getting a dodgy signal but can't any... one theory is noise from unshielded wire ( not keen on that one as all I've done is change turbos and wire up stereo, which they don't think could be related ) they're at the stage now where they're about to pull the whole wiring harness out to check all the wiring??

theory 2 maybe corrupted software on the motec... so their fix is to maybe wipe software and reinstall ,, then have to start from scratch with whole tune ???

is there anybody who has had anything similar to this with a Motec M800??.. I realise this is probably a bit vague but thats about as much as I understand :)

we're waiting to hear back from Motec at this point, but any help would be great.

yes, 24 slot trigger disc mounted in the factory cas fixes it. The motec looses the signal when the 360 slot nissan one becomes a blur at high rpm. We had our own custom made and works a treat even at 11500rpm.

thanks for help guys, some of the symptoms on the motec site are the same and everyone seems to be pointing at the factory CAS not being up to the task...

Hi Jonn, its the same one you go to....I'm not on here to bag anyone, just thought I'd put it to the collective knowledge on here and it looks like they might have nailed it.... we'll see what the boys at the shop reckon about this tomorrow.

want to get the car the sorted, track days and night coming up soon, see you up there ?

Excellent. I was wondering which workshop as I know of another car in Perth with an M800 and they might have had some answers for you. Good to hear it's all sorted.

I'm not sure on more track days with my current car as it's up for sale but if no one comes up with the cash then I might sling some 1000cc injectors in it and retune. If I do that then I want to take it back to the track and have a blast.

Did I hear that your other car got pinched??

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
