Motec vs Power FC?
- Thread starter Sweeny
- Start date
launch control, traction control, anti- lag as an option, i think its got the necassary software to control water injection too, oh you get the cold start problem aswell.
it is one of the best for the pulsar tho, and those who have it love it.
the FC is a cheaper alternative with all the options you would ever really need, its just not as versatile as the motec. for the money you'd save tho, i'd say get the FC, its more than capable.

My fc has launch control, anti lag is also an option but it needs the software to switch it on.

vpulsar cheers for the pm dude!
It was Daz at Jon Noble that suggested that i go for a motec and not a power fc, coz he knows of the mods on my car and said motec would be a better choice for my spec. and setup.
I have phil cavanaghs old motor, so its got a big spec. inc. nos. and runs quite crap on a unichip.
Think i'll ring Ian at hiteq in the morning and see what he suggests.
I dont mind savin for the motec tho.
Cheers.

There's also Autronics to consider-meant to be even better(than both) but more money(than Gems).

i think the autronic is one of the best on the market ,
but at the end of the day the goal of an aftermarket ecu is to optimise ignition timing under ALL conditions and same with the fuel map .
and most of the aftermaket ECUs will do that ,all the extras are just toys and rarely ever used
im going for an unknown ECU just to try and do things a differnt way ,ill probably fail on the way but ,i dont want to be the same as evveryone else lol
life would be so boring if we all had power fcs ,sard this ,and hks that
think out side of whats allready been done

In the case of the motec and power fc.purplemonster said:think out side of whats allready been done

The reason it's been done before is that it works well and get's very
good power gains, On my car just fitting the motec and front mount
gained me 70lb's of torque and 60 bhp, I don't think just wanting to
be dif is a good reason to spend a lot of money on an unknown :roll: .
He should look at all the option's out there and get the best one for
the mod's his car is running not be a test mule for an unknow product
just for the sake of it, oap-r is running a power fc at over 400bhp and
2 bar, I have been in his car and it runs very well
.Don't take mine or anybody elses word for it on hear talk to people that
fit and map these systems and make sure you get the best for your needs.

Greddy emanage is an option I am looking into as well.
Abbey Motorsport can map them right through the range as well as your timing and fueliing can be optimised to the set up you have.
cheaper than power FC and motec and adequate for road use.
depends on what u want and how far you want to go.
Motec is the nuts but costs as well.
autronic is not cheap either as I spoke to MA developments in Maidenhead about it...you ar elookign at 2k plus mapping!
ouch

Found out today that the motec m4 is £995+vat plus fitting plus mapping costs.
Daz at Jon Noble gave me this price!
But it depends on how long it takes on the rollers, coz its about £65 quid an hour :shock: .
I reckon it will be in the region of £17-1800.
I will probably go down this route, as i think i have a standard afm, and a motec doesn't need one.
I was quoted £795+ vat for a power fc plus fitting and mapping, plus about £200+vat plus fitting for the afm. This works out more than the motec. :?

My fc with mapping (and a new set of sparks ) came in at around a grand. Well pleased with it, got bigger injectors, rail and afm sitting here waiting, keeping it all the way...
