hmm.. dont assume that about the autronics..

I believe im one of the only ones on this board to be using it.. I am also probably the only one to be using the SM2.

AntiLag
Traction Control
Launch Control
FlatShifting
8 Injectors
8 ignition Outputs..

A small hp engine for autronics is over 800hp.

have a look on mlr, plenty of evo's use them (pnp boards IRC)

if you are 99 - 00 then they do a pnp board for your year.. They also mention one for the newer ones on the site.

Mark Shead at MADevelopments is the UK importer.. Top Service..

Its also not the same as the motec..

Mail me if you want specifics... or pics

Need some advice on which ECU is the best for my STI8

Currently running PPP but had many mods done and need a better ECU to control them. Heard the MOTEC is a rip off as the Autronics is much the same heard the ECU-TEK is a gem. Is anyone out there running with this.

Cheers
Jimbo

 

Jimbo - by the way, "ECU TEK" refers to EcuTek. It's the name of a bit of software used to reprogramme your existing ECU. The others all involve replacing the ECU hardware (and sensors?) as far as I know.

 

any good though ?

 

Which, EcuTek or the others?

Assuming you mean EcuTek - then it's as good as the mapper. It's just a bit of software that allows reprogramming of the existing ECU. You can get a "one size fits all" enhanced map called a Tek-2, or a completely custom map ("Tek-3").

The "Tek-2" map takes no time at all to install and is appropriate for cars with average modifications (exhaust, air filter).

The custom map involves adjustment of a base map so it takes best (safe) advantage of your own car's specification. It requires more of the mapper's time, and is therefore more expensive.

 

cheers fatman

ever heard of the delta ecutek

seems this looks good on paper

Jim

 

also if you want mapping of tek3 mail me..

 

Hello

Autronic is testing a completly new Ecu for the 02+models this will have more funtions,First to be avalible will be WRX then after STI in about 2 months or so,cost will be circa £1100+vat it will come with a base map.

Thanks Mark

 

Some links to documentation and/or demo software for several ECUs. Happy reading.

The spec of your car is vitally important - there is rarely a free lunch on power and torque without sacrificing emissions compliance, reliability, fuel octane restrictions, extensively modifying the breathing and cooling of the car, as well as using an adequately sized turbo.

Motec appears to have a very good name for race and road cars?
I run Motec for 2 yrs now and wouldnt change it for anything?

Cheers

Motec are an excellent ECu as stated above, there is also the GEMS ecu which also has a very good reputation.
Both are expensive but then again you pay for what you get

Tony

 

cheers guys ! Mark does the autronics work as well with the scooby as it does with the evo ?

 

oi James you ****** ,

didn't know you'd signed up, i was just checking that out for you.

Mark, does the autronics slot into place similiar to Lee's Tommi Mak,or are there differances

Do any of you guys know wether,

The chief technical design engineer for MOTEC, went it solo and created Autronics,

does this rumour carry any weight

also quick note what about LINK ecu's or one of the re-maps by powerstation,

[Edited by CTRnutter - 8/8/2003 1:12:25 PM]

 

autronics do a pnp version... see the site..

or you could just go slightly mad and fit an sm2 as I did..

David

 

I heard a similar rumour from a well respected source.. the man to ask would be ray hall on the autronics forum.

David

 

still like the sound of the deltaECU. If anyone has one in a STI8 Need your thoughts on this ?

Cheers Jim

 

Jimbo you already have an ECU programmed like this. All that will happen is that you could get it custom mapped to further modifications on your car - if so it should behave like standard but be quicker. Personally if you are not doing other mods I would just keep your PPP and enjoy the warranty. Make a custom map or standalone ECU worthwhile by doing the supporting mods for it.

thanks for the advice John,

But already got a few on it like straight through
hks rsk
hks sqv
also getting blitz nur r back box

 

You have a full decat on an STi8?! BIG boost spikes me thinks
Get yourself some defi gauges and look what your doing to your car (which wont be covered by a warranty as Subaru UK now strip engines which blow to see what caused it).

Tony

 

nope he's got the guages in the car already and the max boost shown is 1.1 - 1.2 normal driving it sits around 0.5 and flooring it sits around 1.2 and tails back to 1.1 apart from when the BOV goes off and it hits 1.3 and comes back down again.

the car has been fine, he's been warming it up before driving and cools it down before turning it off it goes out only on Wednesday for a short run and then goes back to sleep and only come out on the weekends the IC spray is continuously going every few miles in the heat and the car is behaving as it should
