Motec ECU

Has anybody got experience of a motec ecu on a 20Vt engine conversion because my emerald one is crap. Are motec ones any good?

 

pm golfboychris ! he has a motec on his 20vt with some very good results

 

Whats up with your ecu then?

 

is it the emerald ecu that's crap? or the guy that fitted it/set it up?

 

iv e had no problems with my dta and i think golfboychris is more than happy with his motec

 

On the same subject has anyone used the Omex 700 on the 20vt?? i was looking at , seems good on paper. I like there other stuff

 

Nothing wrong with emerald. I get good results from mine.

 

I always hear people sl*gging off certain ECU's, because the car its on doesn't make the same power as another car.

I.e. on motec youll get better results than with emerald, or DTA maybe.

But would somone actually explain what differs beetween the ECU that would make one possible of creating more power than the other ?

It's all down to the mapping, you could have a monkey mapping standard management, (which i'd agree is better than Emerald) or, dave walker mappping his own emerald system... Which ones going to be better?

 

TSR said that they had so many probs
with Emerald, that they switched to supplying
Motech units with their conversions.
Local tuning Co Owen Developments have pointed
more towards a coil pack problem.
Dubsport originally mapped the car. The car has
gone to Owen's 2day, will get the verdict
later in the week [:^(]
Probably gonna cost a few quid!
Otherwise it's spot on, apart from the
lack of traction!!

 

why not see about getting the emerald mapped by emerald?



if you want to bin the emerald i would happily buy it off you for a pittance while you spend on a new EMS


but you would find you'll be happier and save money with your emerald mapped well by someone who knows the system

 

i've ordered motec WHEN i get it TSR are very slack!!! there had the money on the 28 of november and i still don't have the goods, they said it might be another 3 weeks [:^(]

 

we didnt bother with the coil packs on mine we're running coil and plug leads

 

Ive got an emerald mapped by dubsport.

197bhp 186torque. Am i gonna have problems?

 

i'm not sure if it is the ecu yet, that's the worse case scenario. Dubsport said i had about 200 bhp.

 

I've got 210bhp with 230ft lb torque with emerald. Floaty what is the problem with the car as you didn't say.

 

Steve D, did you have your car remapped at some point ?

 

Yeh all sorted now.I did have a pinking problem.

 

Steve d there is quite a difference with your power figures to mine- do you think mine hasnt been mapped correctly?

197bhp 186ft lb

 

mine was mapped at stealth and its running 220bhp 225 ft lb

 

i'm well chuffed with my motec ecu,

i think it'd be wise to try and get your system re-mapped first tho before spendin getting it swapped over.

i was chuffed with mine,

314bhp, 357lb/ft (i'm on K04 tho)
