Motec

Leglessracing · 01-28-2015, 05:43 PM

Hi everyone.

Does anyone use any motec dashes or ecu's?
I'm looking at either a cdl3 or c125 dash and to go along with it the possibility of a m800 ecu
Would like to see some of your opinions into it!

Is that like a motec system exhaust? To make your spoon engine sing?

I'm not looking for info on a exhaust, this is ECU related

Yea but hector is slow, he never gets away with the money.

I looked at the m800 very hard to run my supercharged S65 powered hot rod (http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=947904), but ultimately by the time you add the MOTEC license fees and necessary add-ons for data logging, fly by wire communication, etc etc to get where you need to be, I decided the Cosworth Pectel SQ6M and ICD plus digital dash was where I wanted to be. Just had my first start and thrilled so far.

Thanks for the link to your post! I'm not super charging at the moment so hopefully it will be not a huge task. I've done a lot of tuning with Motec and have experience with the m800 so hopefully it won't be too bad to use

I have a M800 but have yet to tune it. I found it used out of a ex World Challenge BMW with many of the features unlocked. I think it would have been $9500 retail but picked it up for $3500 used. It should work very well for my needs. (e46 M3 with a S62 swap)

I have a nightmare experience with M800 on an Evo 9.

Cold start in mornings are extremely terrible. Can't fire up the engine without giving at least 5% throttle. This was then adjusted but now the engine fires up first time every time but idle at 2000rpm for a few secs then climb to 3500rpm.

Engine stalls as soon as I come to a full stop.

Turning AC on or steering puts load on the engine which result in idle hunt.

Could be a tuner issue but having tried 3 different reputable tuners and spending weeks in workshops to nail coldstart, I honestly doubt so.

No problems with Autronics. Took less than a day to tune with no issues.

For a racecar M800 would be great but for street cars, its advisable to get something else.
