Curious what does the stand alone offer that ecutek doesn't? I thought ecutek had full vvel control and everything no? Not boosted so probably has no effect for me but

For a bolt on car ECUTek is more than sufficient, it's a great solution. The MoTeC isn't targeted towards something like that. This targeted at F/I builds that want to take advantage of full control of everything with great precision, superior speed, etc. Full time lambda control, full time closed loop boost control, closed loop launch control, closed loop traction control (not a queer ignition timing retard -- this is the most retarded way of doing any traction control, especially on a turbo car, pun intended).

Once I get further into the features I'm programming in, I'll have more details.

Interesting. So how does it handle traction control? Also closed loop traction control, would traction control be active regardless closed or open loop? Doesn't the gtr have closed loop boost control?

Sorry if I come of as questioning you, I am curious what all this means/how it functions vs the Oem/ecutek route.

Thanks.

It's a driven target based on non driven speed and does not use throttle nor timing retard to control it (which both methods suck horrible). Closed loop in that it's got a feedback.

The GTR has closed loop boost control but it's a completely different ecu/car.

It's an advanced stand alone -- I could go on for days. I've spent years and years tuning OEM ecu solutions, some better than others. Some can be pushed quite far even. However none will ever touch what a good stand alone. And yes there are a lot of bad stand alones out there, lol.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by it's a target driven traction control with a feedback. So in other words my wheels are slipping what happens now? In a conventional system it cuts timing and throttle to cut power until traction is regained, what does the stand alone do different to regain traction?
