rally car application
Posted: Thu Aug 23, 2012 10:29 pm
Hi everyone
I'm after some help and advice, and hopefully some services!!
I would like to install a standalone ecu into my rally car to replace the current GEMS plug and play unit. In order to do this I want a properly made engine loom to suit my locations etc due to using a magnesium rotated inlet and having some specifically located or changed items.
Now after having taken some advice and bought the relevant parts (DBW, coilpacks etc) the company who were going to build the loom and do the mapping no longer seem interested which is a shame as they seemed to talk the job. Strange in this climate a customer who has cash waiting but there you go!
I beleive I want to install the following,
Inputs:
Air Temp
Fuel Pressure
Oil Pressure
Water Temp
Oil Temp
Map
Crank Position
Cam Position
DBW throttle control
EGT
L2H2
I would like to drive new age coilpacks.
I would like an output to control cooling fans, water injection, als, full throttle gear change, launch control and ideally switchable maps to allow for different fuels.
Now I'd trade any of the above really to give a reliable install which will look after the engine! So basically I'd appreciate any advice on what I do and dont need, whether to go for an S6 (ideally from cost point of view) or S8 and indeed whom I should get a loom building by and mapping by, I've no aversion to travelling to have the mapping done. Also I have made car looms in the past but not ecu ones so even someone who would guide me in the making of the loom would be good as I need to get some forward progress on this project or it's going to end up another subaru breaking!!
Any advice welcomed
Cheers
