Plus, once you add all the options you'd typically want such as Lambda and Logging, the value diminishes a bit.
Still, being a MOTEC, you know its a stable, well-designed unit which will make injecting the motors its designed for easy!"

I'm sorry wha?
I would have just gone with the m600. If you read though all of the Mx00 series motec units can control a rotary, on;y thier optiosn are more advanced and I imagien the ecu chip is more powerful as well. Especially if it isnt plug n play, what the point right?

This thing is half the price w/ the harness

it was mostly about the right product at the right price. I am on stock turbo at this point(big turbo in the works) , and I am happy to have an ECU that is strictly for 2Rotor. Before I found out my engine harness was fried, I was going to use Rtek, so I'd say this is quite the upgrade.

Funny, for the price of this thing, you think they'd give some mounting options. But we had to fab this little bracket for it.

Ah forgot.. Fd's don't mount to the floorboard, mines in the kickpanel. Haven't had any problems thus far though.

hey bro, i really dig that mounting. I am jeleous of all the engine bay you have!! At least I got something on the FD guys tho. I already got my sensors from motec. wish i woulda talked to you sooner. It was like 245 for tps, air temp, water temp, inj clips, map sensor.. i think thats it.

Thanks. That little stuff can really nickel and dime you to death. Since I have more time than money, I do a lot of checking around. Believe it or not, eBay is also a good source for some of this stuff if you know exactly what you need.
I'm hoping to get my engine running this coming weekend then dyno tune it on April 4th. I'll keep you posted.

i've heard that about ebay, but still dont really like it. definitly keep me posted.
does any one have any ideas about getting my thermocouple to read for the gauge AND motec?
heres what i got.

Also the Wolf autotune software is close to being done I think, Haltech has autotune software (though not publicly released last I heard) and Microtech is working on the same thing...

Couldn't get my engine started. Had fuel, had spark, didn't have compression. I knew the engine was marginal when I installed it, but some seals must have stuck during the year it sat in my garage. I pulled the engine & I'm about to send it off for a rebuild -- probably for the best in retrospect, but I was trying to save $$.

Setting Initial Timing with M2R
I came up with this procedure after talking with MoTeC West. I think it will work to get the engine running, since the timing light did confirm. Interestingly enough, my "better" Actron timing light didn't work, while my neighbor's el cheapo light did.
Setting Initial Timing with M2R:
1. Set pulley to 5ATDC mark (the first one)
2. Insert distributor by aligning marks at gear end.
3. Once installed the dissy should look like the image below
4. Set rotary split in ignition table to 5.0 around the area in question.
5. Connect timing light to T1 and align the 5ATDC mark with the pointer.
6. Leading Timing will now be set to TDC.
7. Be sure the CRIP is set to zero.
