Cheers, i’ve been reading some of your posts on here and seloc and you know more far more than i ever will about ECU’s/wiring etc so i’m glad you approve!
Agreed, i had an AIM PISTA MXL in the last car and that is a superb dash and the only reason for a new one is the stack dash failure but now the motec is here, wow!
Although as i had a Syvecs S6 before we were limited on inputs so a dash conecting via CAN BUS would have been better.
I’ve seen you mention you might be getting a Syvecs ECU and i can’t recommend them enough, my S8 had an issue during the first mapping session and they sent a brand new replacement, plus now they do a plug & play Exige S2 variant though your car looks like it might need a GP version if you’ve messed with the loom.
So yea syvecs is a pipe dream today, but new loom is designed to be trivial to swap ems out.
I’d go for the not yet released S6+ as it has a dbw hbridge onboard as stock. Also whole my car looks like an exige, it’s actually a 2003 elise with a Honda swap. Suffice to say very little of the shelf for it.
I noticed you reference the S6+, hadn’t heard of it but makes sense, a few extra inputs and the DBW Hbridge, for someone with the technical know how such as yourself syvecs will be a whole new playground.
Plan is to add the flex fuel sensor next to enable a mix of fuels, rather than completely drain the 100 litre tank or when changing fuels the sensor will help correct the map if there is still residue.
It was a close call between the two of them! but there is quite a difference in size and that ended up being the determining factor, MOTEC C125 is 134.5 x 103.9 x 20.2 mm whereas the AIM MXG is 237 x 127.6 x 26mm and i wouldn’t be able to see the whole dash (mini iPad: 200mm x 134.7mm).
Motec is up and running now, the Syvecs CAN addresses conflicted with the dash and anyone going down the same route feel free to ask for our configuration as it took several hours to crack thanks to Paul Blamire and 3 hours of support from Pat (Syvecs), so a big thank you.
lol
Was a Raleigh burner for me, probably where i got the buzz for modding, still have the scars from when an unbreakable Z-rim broke.
Good nostalgia for a Monday cheery up!
As you know, its always a question of priorities and as its now likely i’ll just be doing a couple of events in various competitions as we just haven’t had the seat time the pressure is off a little. Having said that it also finishes off the car nicely too so really pleased.
Disaster, bottom end has gone on the dyno, gutted to say the least.
Wasn’t there and not got full debrief yet but from what i understand was not even being pushed, joys of motorsport i guess.
Cadwell was booked for tomorrow and obviously Anglesey next week so a real slap in the face.
