My ECU isnt communicating with the laptop.
Also, the software won't close without crashing.
I have wondowsXP.
any help here?

I think you're going to regret buying those DIS-4's.
To the OP...is your car running yet?

i got the radio shack brand serial to USB adapter (like the motec website suggests). It works fine now. Although, I am still having problems with the software crashing when we close it.
I am still hopnig to get some ideas on what to do with the EGT sensor. How can I get it to read on the gauge and the ecu???
Hey RETed. the car isn't running just yet. its real close tho. Hopefully by the end of the day.

ya, the phoenix!
all the gauges i got from this guy came with a reading on them. seems like what ever system he has them hooked up to went bye-bye. Once I sent a little current to em, they all relaxed.
I thought it was kinda weird too...
So how do i get my ecu and gauge to read off the same probe?

here is what i need to hook up the egt to the motec... http://webstore.o2simulator.com/inde...WPROD&ProdID=2
We've got the wideband feeding to the gauge and the ecu. it was pretty simple, just one wire that jumps over to motec from the AEM gauge.
The car is running. Its rich and the acccelorator is REAL touchy. We still need to adjust that. Over the next 3-5 days, we'll be tuning the car through all gears and load. But it is running and drivable.

well that's about the slickest marketing scheme I've ever heard of. that **** is SO SLICK, I;m gonna have to purchase it now!!! I am a consumer *****
Tuned with turbo hooked up tonight. With the wastegate rod disconnected we pushed 20 lbs of boost!!! that seems to create a whole new category of problems/challenges

Bacically, I am gonna just have to stay off the throttle in 4th/5th gear. Boost gets up there and the only way to really fix it, is to go big turbo.
We tune the car a coulpe times a week, just refining the maps and getting used to the way the Motec "thinks".
Pulls great under boost, no more than 12 AFR.
Water temps stay at 190 no matter what.
Its a little fat down low, in 1st and 2nd.
A little lean at crusing, in 3rd.
Start up and idle need some tweaking, but this ecu is pretty impressive. We are adjusting the start up and boost maps by pulling or adding timing.
We have also located the cold start assist menu. Not sure how to adjust it, but we're getting there.

thought ya'll might be interested in the HD racing wire wrap I got!!
It's called strech and seal. It's only 6 bucks a role, and took 3 (would've been nice to have 4) roles.
Usually, Turblown uses the military grade version of this. It isn't much different, but WAY more expensive. I also wrapped a little fiberglass tube around the section above the turbo.
Now my harness is safe.... AAAAAAHHhhhhhh...

What's to regret with the DIS-4s? I know that ignition cut on the ECU will be interpreted by the DIS-4s as low RPM, which will cause them to multi-strike (bad), so I have limited it to fuel cut only, per MoTeC's recommendation.

ya, the stock coils have ignotors attached to them. I didnt realize until i really inspected the coil. So you have to have an MSD box (like the 6A) in order to run the MSD coils.
I tried using the stock ignitor on the msd coils, but the leading coil is only ONE coil. That ignitor isn't strong enough to run two MSDs.
I picked up a stock coil (used) just for now.
With that and the methanol, I need to slightly re-tune the motec.

There has been some misinformation going around about exactly what the motec M2R is capable of. The motec website doesn't currently show the specs so we've put together a page specific for the M2R to clear the air and give the rotary community the ability to see what these ecu's are all about.
