Maxxecu, someone that use this?

Hi i have a maxxecu race that i am going to put in my T2 S5. If someone runs maxxecu it would be great to know how it works, and if its works fine with the rotary engine 😊
Hard or easy to make a new harness? Never done it before, so it will be fun 😉👌

i think a couple few people have bought them, but not sure i've seen one up and running yet.

building the harness isn't too bad, its like installing a car stereo but x 4. it really helps to plan it out before hand.

I've used and supported them on installs. What are you curious about?

For a street or track day car they're currently at the top of my list for price vs performance vs flexibility, and when a client asks its usually what I recommend. I'm not a dealer but I'm not impressed with a some of Haltech's actual fabrication that I've had to do PCB repairs on, or the constant odd software updates. I'm not impressed with Link's software. An Adaptronic is....an Adaptronic.

I did not know they supported rotaries! Have you any experience using them with FD twins and all emission stuff?

Sounds good, its my winter project to wire it up along with bigger turbo, injectors, fuelpumps ++ 😊👍

No longer a rotary car, but I have a MaxxECU Pro in my FC. It's running a twin turbo LS and fully-integrated with a HTG GCU controlling a DCT gearbox. Maxx is currently one of the only out-of-the-box ECUs that can run BMW DCTs, but only the non-overdrive older models (for now).
I came from the Megasquirt world before MaxxECU and it checks all my boxes. It's fairly affordable, tons of I/O (Pro model), and very, VERY flexible. Their use of 4D table options on nearly everything is super helpful, as well as User Tables and math channels. There's not much you can't do with a little math and effort. My car is DBW throttle, blips on DCT downshifts, cuts and retards spark on upshifts, has cruise control, rolling antilag, CAN keypad.... Maxx has so many features, but they can be a little more difficult to set up than the MS3 I previously had.

They're easily flexible enough to be rigged with their configurations of soft I/O and physical I/O, but I personally have no desire to configure a map to do it, and I don't believe they see enough of a market to do it either.
