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??

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

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

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
