Picking up a Type R in a few weeks which is run by one of these ecus now i've looked at their website SimTek Performance Engine Management BUT i've a few questions that the answers don't seem to be on there.

1: Does it have active Knock control rather than just flashing the CEL?
2: Does the ecu have to be returned to Simtek to have ALS put on it (i.e. is it software or hardware)

cheers Paul

 

Near sure the ALS is a software change, your installer/mapper can do this.

Dont know about the Knock control.

 

ALS is a software change iirc

At the minute Simtek only flashes the CEL, but knock control is coming & is a software upgrade.

 

Good ECU and there are an ever growing number of mappers on here who supply/fit/map them.
Anti lag and launch control is an option and down to what is specified by the original purchaser. Adding it after the event is not an issue.

 

thanks people
