Ok, I have been reading other threads about Microtech, Power FC and other ECU managements. To those that already have MoTeC installed, what are your pros and cons about it? Yes, I already know that the installation cost is high, and I am considering to have MoTeC - installation to be done by Tilbrook - into my:

R33 GTS25T 4door series 1 - JUN BL 3" turbo-back, TurboSmart hi/low, HKS FCD. No FMIC yet.

Silvia PS13 SR20DET - JASMA 3" turbo-back, Boost bleeder. No FMIC yet.

Do you getting better fuel consumptions and more power gains, and by how much kW?

Are there any problems?

Does the MoTeC do away with the AFM?

Are you using the MoTeC Pro or the MoTeC Clubman series?

Would I be better off to install only the cheaper MoTeC Clubman, it's about $400 cheaper and less featues than the Pro?

Any other feedback info would be appreciated?

Motec will do away with the air flow meter, although motec is a really good ecu with many fetures it will cost a heap to fit. Why not look at a cheaper ecu that will still do the job, Haltech is one of the best and has all the fetures you will need and would be alot cheaper than the motec.

Iam tossing up whether to get the stock ecu remapped of fit a haltech, this is the only aftermarket ecu i will consider because it is not overpriced and has alot more fetures than the cheaper ones eg closed loop for better fuel consumption.

How much cheaper is the Haltech, and who in Adelaide will install?

In the meantime I will look for the Haltech link.

Does Haltech have detonation detection, so if you had to use lower grade ULP petrol in some towns where PULP fuel is unavailable, MoTeC will adjust the timing to compensate for this?

Sorry to disappoint you, but motec doesnt use any detonation detection.

i have wired up and prgramed a m48, onto a 1.6L turbo capri engine i have on a engine dyno, lots of fun playiong with it.

As far as the AFM goes, it will. Go that is, you need a 3 bar map sensor for any forced induction engine.

The M800 gives you closed loop operation, set at any A/F ratio you desire, but evn that doesnt use a knock sensor.

Remember, you get what you pay for, if Motec wasnt the best, they wouldnt be in all the touring cars.

Hey kjb_r33,

I will have to check this out with Tilbrook, as he said to me two weeks ago that MoTeC will adjust the timing????? You would be right that "you get what you pay for"!

Hey RS500,

Will search for some links on the Autronic SMC! The name Autronic sounds fimilliar, do they make cruise controllers as well?

Hey Clint32,

Thanks for your info on AFM. I have looked at the Haltech link and will check out with some of the installers!

Graham:uh-huh:

i went to a motec seminar about 8 months ago, and i asked why they dont use knocks sensors, they said because the knock sensors cant distinguise engine knock caused by detonation from any other shock wave going through the block. Even factory setups well retard timing for no real reason. Even shockwaves from Suspension are enough to cause timing alterations. The best way to set ignition timing is ona dyno to start with, then on the road, using the data loggin capabilites...

Hey kjb_r33,

The advise you have just given to me seems to make a lot of sense regarding the knock sensor, because my Silvia is having a problem with surge type problem for the last 18 months, and it is still not fixed even when the TPS and the Knock Sensor has been replaced. This is the reason I am upgrading to MoTeC in the Silvia, and will make sense to upgrade my R33 for better power gain and fuel economy.

Thanks for your good advise.:uh-huh:

there are heps of installers in SA for Haltech, yeah the Motec is probably a little better but is it worth it for the extra $$$, you wont get any more power or drivability, one of the main bonuses in the Motec is its data logging ability but it in not much help on the road.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
