Hey guys,

I thought I would start a dedicated thread for this question instead of hijacking my own build thread.

We are building a Sports Sedan and have an RB power plant we are building for 500+rwkw.

Question is...... Haltech or Motec?

Already have The Haltech PS2000 and Racepak Dash.

But some people have been saying go Motec at this stage.

Thoughts?

Money is definitely an object!!!

But I just don't want to skimp on such an important part of the engine package. Sounds like Haltech is the go from what ! am hearing though!

I personally don't like motec because every time I have anything to do with them they give me the shits. But if you want to look to the future running fly buy wire throttle has a world of advantages over mechanical throttle. Motec will run this well haltec not. That's just one advantage. Motec will also work with haltec dash just takes a bit of work

Haltech have just announced a new ECU that has fly by wire support, but not sure if it does traction control. The motec has more features, but are they features that you are going to use? They will both control the engine the same

Have a look at Syvecs, I'm running the S8 on my 34 GTR street car

http://www.syvecs.co.uk/

They where the first and are the most used stand alone on the R35 GTR and the ECU that comes with the alpha kit

Just another option

Did you wire in or make a patch loom up??

the single greatest advantage of a Motec, is they're exceptionally updateable.

my tuner bought his Motec in 2001, and he just gets an email from Motec saying updates are available, he says yes and gets them via email,

so his 15yo ECU is on par with a current M800

I would love a Motec, but can't justify the extra few thousand that is needed to go that way.

Do yourself a favor and look at KV8 EMTRON, we have just finished a Sports Sedan (recent championship winner) with one. Unrivalled input output count, real traction control and launch control not just a listed minimal feature. Its well known in serious motorsport circles as of late.

in built 3 axis accelerometer

dual CAN

on board dual 4.9 wideband

on board dual knock

fly by wire

auto blip

auto change etc

16 aux out

14 analogue inputs

12 digital inputs

Just an unbiased suggestion, we tune and fit everything with Haltech elite being my preferred solution for everything except full race stuff as it is not quite fully featured yet... give it a year or so and no doubt all the features will be released and it will be comparable. With the haltech you also dont have anywhere enough input outputs without buying a lot of expansion CAN products.

We are looking at EMTRON as the premium product that was reserved for MOTEC customers in the past... the EMTRON is fully featured out of the box so NO need to PAY to UNLOCK.

    • @robbo_rb180 I already have a NEO head on the shitbox 😎 Just needs beehive springs so I can rev it past the 8600 rpm limiter, then again pointless too, turbo is out of puff lol. Wen da gods let me win lotto eh?
    • Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm. 
    • My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
    • 'sif the error will be that low!
    • I do know where there is a fair few 😉
