I thin kyour all wrong
Majority of sensors are two types on Jap cars Denso - toyota or Misubishi
Majority of aftermarket decent ECU's haltech microtech and the rest. When oyu order them tell them the engine it's set up to read them sensors.
my microtech needed nothing other then being told it's for a Mazda F2T it's sesnors are the same as the BPT
The difference between MS and the rest is development support.
I get support from my installers and tuners- anywhere anytime.
If iwanted to move my LT8 to a new car I'd call microtech ask if it can be done send the unit for change of sensor reading and then reinstall.
90% of units are all the same in the way they are installed in the same model car.
It's more dependant on the car it self.
For - example, What is the major difference between the sensors of a F2T and FE DOHC. NOTHING. major- crank angle - Map (you add ) TPS and injecotrs are al lthe same
now go to a SR20 - it's the same except for injector impedence I think it was.
It's when you have to add other issues - VICS or VRIS control the mazdas Vtec in honda or intake timming on the the RB25.
This is where development makes a big difference. It's where a bigger table of mapping is handy - more enrichment points - more adjustment.
Anyone - how has driven a Micotech'd car that's got alot of quick air flow variation will always find a minor flat or fuel spot.
But same engine on Motec you won't find it.
Factory usually uses Airflow meters to avoid such problems.Or they use the autotune type setups.
Turk - you note cost. End of the day - Everyone is playing with bomb effectivly here.
But when you consdier adding such a turbo setup - it's like trying to run it with out adjustable ECU. It's a waste
You don't always need to go hi tech to get it done.
It just depends on whats required
Tuners don't like some owners playing with it because they stuff it up. Then they don't like paying to get it fixed.
Reason I like adaptronic is you can just swap files on over on the laptop with ease and you can go back. All the big systems run similar. But you pay for the ease.
Microtech's are biggest sellers not just on cost but because it's not special cable - just program but it's avialble from microtech.
Beside here in Aus you can only tune in place on a DYNO. Why would any compnay sell there product to public if they don't have dyno. Tuning is not hard nor are any of the ECU's to use in terms of tuning. Maybe EMS - but I have not touch one its Autronic Haltch microtech and adaptronic.
Megasquirt is unit that does the job for some, what it lacks for be is control
In that people who assemble it. Not hard -hell I've done Computer Enginerring I'd sleep through it. But only takes one solder to fail, and your race day is gone.
That's big reason it's not used.
ECU failure is a very rare problem for most people who race. It's the cost and control used that it is that way.
If here in aus we didn't have such a large range and option available to us, we might be using megasquirt more often. Sure our tightarse Kiwi brothers like that stuff, the answer is in the price. But haivng seen some of there so called super great cars they are nothing on stuff we run here.
