Extras? Needed For Motec M8 Ecu R32 Gtr To4z

[ish]

I am in a bit of a delema! mainly it's location,

I am about to purchase a PFC brand new but a Motec m8 Ecu has turned with all its codes opened> wideband, Boost control etc .

What else would i need to get this installed sensor / Loom wise and runing on my Gtr r32 twincam, To4z?

I bought an M48 brand new and needed a 3 bar map sensor kit, but never ended up fitting it, as it was another $1,500 to install and tune, so I sold it on and bought a power fc. The MOTEC is great just costly to get up and running.

[ish]

I will put this a bit different ....

The weekend has made Ringing around hard

to get advice So tomorrow a big phone assault...

If i have just the Motec m8 Ecu with certain codes added Wide band lambda, Antilag Control Etc !

What extra's as in loom and sensors will be required for the mechanic for the install.

i have just been reading horror stories where the motec tuner couldn’t get the awd going because he didn’t understand certain things so this freaks me out even more?

I am getting fairly frustrated with the local advice i am getting so now

the car will be taken to melb (300km) and am trying to get some background before i go ringing around and asking novice questions to pros

please if anyone can list me the parts and steps i will have to go through it would be a real head start so i can organize the workshop.

I have been looking through the Workshops in the maintenance section on the site .. If any stick out for this type of work Could someone please recommend thanks ish!

the powerfc will come out cheaper and give you 80% of the features you need at around 1/3 of the total cost. is there a reason you want to go motec? for a true rally/race car, sure motec is tops. for a normal street car i dont see as justifiable, given the cost.

paulr33 i undertand the features on each unit .. this is an ongoing intrest for me where the car just may end up on the track... I dont like back tracking and multiple modual's in the cabin really!

I am building a spare rb26 in the shed with forged pistons and collar upgrade ready to go in when this one fails....

everyone keeps telling me what i want upgrade wise when all i want to know i what will I need extra for my motec M8 ECU.

No offense guys , the comments are welcome but no one is answering the question!

[paulr33]

fair enough. so why do u want to goto motec? i would like to also, but like many others can't justify the 3k price tag to get a unit, and then it needs to be tuned and setup. its not an out of the box plug and play start the car and drive off unit like the powerfc is

[ish]

I want the motec for probably exacly the same reason you do paulr33 its the best !. If you read up earlier, the motec Ecu has come up second hand all enabled hence this Thread to weigh up and gain info.

The pfc is more of an option because of the area i live in and the local mechanics knowledge and would save me dragging the project to melbourne .

[paulr33]

right so what cost can you get the motec for?

how much for install? how much for the loom?

then how much to do base setup and tune

[ish]

hahah thats what i am trying to ask in this thread ...

Some installers like to make up there own loom. Ring Motec they'll answer your questions.

M8 is getting old now.. unless your getting is real cheap power fc is so much easier and will tune better with the 6 throttle body's unless your only after wide open throttle driving... Id be finding out what the m8 doesnt hav compared to the newer m400 m600 m800 series and is it as easy to tune as the new models...
