I know someone who can. Phil. But we gotta get the S/C done first.

In fact, Phil has already run a excelusivley Motec controlled Renesis at the drags way before this thread started. About 2 months in fact. And remember this thread was started 12 months ago. It is way old, but probably a good time to ressurect.

I need to talk to Phil about this again - he is a Motec dealer, and knows his stuff. But last time we talked about it I though it wasn't possible to run the M800 in conjunction with the factory unit for some reasons I don't recall. (Bad Hymee!)

Cheers,
Hymee.

Dr. Phil is good. Hymee I faintly remember that Dr. Phil was talking something about the drive by wire system and MoTec was it???
I will search all the thread tonight.

Too bad I'm living in Melbourne :o and cannot afford him flying down.

As most people says the Piggyback/ECU is as good as the tuner himself. You really need to talk to the tuner beforehand.

I wonder if Dr. Phil can fly down to Melbourne with a MoTec in his hand carry baggage.

Taka

You could drive to Brisbane or send your car up by train :D AND BY THE WAY..... Dr Phil, and Hymster are copyrighted names so desease from using them or pay a royalty fee :p

Also i am sure that if you purchased a S/C SYSTEM MOTEC WOULD BE HAPPY TO TUNE IT TO THE s/c for you at a price in Melbourne .

cheers

The factory ECU has to remain as it controls a number of items like most of the dash etc.! an M800 would need to be spliced in to the existing loom (like the piggy back ECU's are).

AFAIK, the M800 is designed to be used in conjunction with a factory computer. "Splicing" it into the existing loom is what they do with a, ahem, simple, harness. That is what they already have for the M800 and some cars like the Subarus. It still is an expensive option!

Taka - Don't worry. Phil freqently travels interstate to tune customers vehicles.

Cheers,
Hymee.
