I'm doing a little project for fun, and just thought I'd like to share with the EVO community over here a sneek peak with my custom built adapter harness I built for the M800 MoTeC.

I know every here is nuts over the AEM EMS, but I want to share with you guys what professional motorsports has been raving about for the past decade or so.



It's about 90% done, still waiting on the CAN connector from MoTeC before I can build a map for the EVO from scratch.

The car its going to be on is an 05' MR, wr turbo, hks 280, hks cam gear, custom built 3 inch TBE, and 880 cc injectors. If the WR doesn't put out the numbers I'd like to see it will be replaced with a Full-Race turbo system.

This is all part of a larger project I'm working on writing about EFI systems.

sweet. yes, motec, if it wasn't so damn expensive, ultimate in EMS.

 

Yes, please keep us updated. Motec is one of the best EMS out there.

 

Very nice. Out of curiosity, how much did the M800 run you when it was all said and done? And what all did you purchase with it for that price?

 

Some info:

Before everybody gets excited, list price for the 2005 M820 is over $4k. Of course you'd also want the telemetry module, which is an extra $900, and more memory (so cough up a couple hundred more).

Nice custom built adaptor...I see you have a lotta patience to work out those wires. But then again..I'm one with little patience for sorting through the wires so I had Motec Queensland fix me up with a nice PNP connector. Has a box with the required connector to hook up to the stock wiring harness, all Raychem'ed.

So what options did you get with your M800?

Cheers

I have 1 meg logging, 1 channel lambda, and advanced options enabled. I also have a CDI-8 ignition system with mercury coils, but doubt i'll run them on this car since I wont be pushing that much hp.

nice adapter harness btw! is your car running yet?

 

we use the m800 to great effect . are units however replace the oe board .

 

Yhm

 

do you guys have all the codes for the MoTec?
(it would be the unit of choice)

 

download free from the motec web site . all you need then is a lead

 

Woah....nice!

Damn..sounds like you got all the bells and whistles...for a road car . Poor ol' me just running on a basic M800. Pretty pricey to enable what you've got but I'm leaning towards logging and advanced functions. Gotta save for awhile

My car's been running on the M800 for over 15 months. The adaptor harness was ordered together with the ECU. After seeing the amount of work that goes into fixing up the wiring harness..I'm glad to pay a couple of hundred to have someone else handle the work for me. CDI-8? Gosh..that's like major overkill. I figured something along the lines of the HKS DLI2 or Buschur's COP ignition will suffice.

 

Nice units, Just a little pricey for the average individual to use and purchase.
We have tuned with MoTec for a few years now.

 

This ECU and the CDI8 ignition is off my drag car. I was thinking of running methanol in the future, so that's why I opted for the CDI8. I figured that since i rarely ever drive my drag car, I'd build an adapter harness for the EVO8.

The MoTeC is a really expensive item, but throughout these years it has been one of the only products that have never disappointed me.
