New: MoTeC M150 PNP for Nissan R35 GT-R

A very exciting new product out this spring is the MoTeC plug and play engine management system for the Nissan R35 GT-R. It is available for 2007-2012 model year vehicles in all geographic areas. There is a different kit depending on if the vehicle is left hand drive or right hand drive.



MoTeC's Nissan R35 GT-R plug-in engine mangement kit is a fully programmable replacement for the factory-fitted engine ECU. No rewiring is necessary; the kit plugs into the stock wiring harness using the original sensors and fuel system. All essential original equipment (OE) functions are maintained, including dashboard, traction control and gearbox systems.

Some of the exciting new features of this game changing system:

  • Fully integrates with stock systems including VDC traction control and transmission, and complies with OE system requests.
  • Torque limiting delivered via throttle and ignition control
  • Engine load calculation based on MAF, MAP, throttle position and boost pressure, or a combination of these, to provide optimum results in all situations.
  • Full cruise control capability
  • Integrated fully tuneable DSP knock control on individual cylinders
  • Tuneable individual bank closed loop lambda control
  • Boost control integrated with torque control system
  • Launch control integrated with torque control system - torque and engine speed limits can be defined for launch.
  • Rolling launch control/anti-lag useful for roll racing
  • Additional 10 position switch for VDC gain - adjusts severity of VDC events
  • Additional 2 position switch for switching maps: boost aim, engine speed limit, fuel mixture aim, ignition timing, throttle pedal translation
  • Integrated 250 Mbyte of logging memory
  • Includes level 2 data logging - 200 channels at up to 200Hz. Upgradeable to 2000 channels at up to 1000Hz
  • Data analysis via i2 software
  • External fuel pump output for closed loop fuel pressure control
  • Sensor fallback - if a sensor fails (e.g. MAP) alternate load sensors are used
  • Additional sensors may be added via the breakout connector. Multiple EGT via TC Amp/E888, GPS inputs, etc.
  • Fast ethernet communications

Kit includes the following parts:

  • M150 ECU
  • Nissan R35 GT-R adapter box
  • Nissan R35 GT-R breakout loom
  • M1 adaptor stub looms
  • RJ45 communications cable
  • LTCD-NTK dual lambda to CAN module
  • NTK lambda sensor and extension loom
  • Air temp sensor
  • Fastening velcro

Supplies will be limited and demand very high, so get your orders in quick if you are interested in the highest quality and most powerful engine management system available for the Nissan R35 GT-R!

FY Racing - Rally in the 100 Acre Wood Recap

The second round of the Rally America championship brought teams to Salem, MO area featuring beautiful scenery and fast flowing gravel roads. 

FY Racing was in attendance with their Subaru STi featuring a new engine package, sequential gearbox and a host of small upgrades. Motorsport Wiring Supply had John Reed on location to provide MoTeC systems and technical support for the team. In addition to the existing MoTeC systems in the car, we debuted the new MoTeC mini color display in the car, and it got a lot of positive attention and reviews from those that saw it, and performed flawlessly during the entire event.
 
 

Tuesday and Wednesday were testing and shakedown. Weather was cool but sunny and clear, things went smoothly and the car was quickly all dialed in and ready to rock and roll. 

Getting the car unloaded and ready for shakedown:

Thursday brought recce for the crews, but more dramatically it brought a storm dropping ice and snow on the region. Teams scrambled to get snow setups together (and some teams were unable to even get to the area on time due to the weather). Just getting around the stages in normal cars for recce proved to be challenging enough.

Friday morning brought the start of competition, with the roads being mostly snow and ice reminiscent of SnoDrift Rally. Adam and Jordan of FY Racing got off to a slower than expected start due to a lack of boost. It was traced to a hole in a intercooler pipe coupler in the first service, but not before taking its toll on the stage times and leaving them on the wrong end of the top ten. Once the Subaru was back to full song, the guys started taking back time in chunks, working their way into the top five in the difficult road conditions.

Saturday brought sunny but cold conditions, with road conditions similar to Friday. Snow setups were still the way to go, and Adam and Jordan continued on with a trouble free run and good pace to be running as high as 4th overall. As the day progressed gravel started to show on some of the repeat stages, causing a high rate of wear on the snow tires. With all the snow tires heavily worn, the team made the gamble at the last service to fit gravel tires to the car in the hope that there would be more gravel than snow. Unfortunately the temperature dropped quicker than expected once night hit, and there ended up being a lot of ice and snow remaining on the last stages. The loss of grip caused a backwards slide through the field and we ended up finishing 8th overall. Not the result the team hoped for, but sometimes to make gains gambles are taken and you can't win them all.

Overall the Rally in the 100 Acre Wood was good for the team. The car performed well with Adam and Jordan setting some solid stage times. Everyone is looking forward to round 3, Oregon Trail Rally in hopes of a pure gravel event, one which the team has performed well at in the past.
 
Motorsport Wiring Supply is pleased to be hosting FY Racing at our home event. Be on the look out for some special deals as this event draws closer! See you in May!

Nissan Connectors - In stock!

We are pleased to announce we now have some hard to find Nissan connector kits in stock. These fit the popular Nissan SR20, but may fit many of the other Nissan models as well. We have the CAS sensor connector, TPS connector and coil connectors. Very often these are cracked/broken due to heat, or the termainls are loose fitting and worn out causing intermittent bad connections and headaches. Replace them now with brand new pieces, with crimp on terminals (no pigtails to splice in). Or use them in building a brand new loom from scratch.

We have plenty in stock now, but the supply is finite and once they are gone it may take a while to get more (or they will just not be available any longer).

Connector kits include the body, seals, terminals and lock.

Announcing MWS and FY Racing partnership

Motorsport Wiring Supply is pleased to announce a partnership with Adam Yeoman, owner of FY Racing and driver of the #425 Subaru STi in the Rally America championship for 2013. The car has been fully wired using supplies from MWS including: MoTeC electronics, Deutsch Autosport connectors, Raychem DR25 and shrink transitions, mil spec wire, and much more.



We will also be providing support to the FY Racing team at each round of the championship. John Reed will be doing programming, data acquisition and lending a hand where needed in service.

The car features a MoTeC M880 ECU controlling the engine, along with a MoTeC SDC2 programmable diff controller. Power management is via two MoTeC PDM16, with driver and co-driver inputs provided by dual Racegrade 15 key CAN keypads. A MoTeC ESDL3 with 16Mb memory provides a cental point for data acquisition and CAN functionality, creating a very powerful and integrated system.

The PDMs have been programmed to maximize reliability of the vehicle in the tough conditions found in rally. The car has dual fuel pumps and the second pump is automatically brought online by the PDM if current is outside the normal range. Should battery voltage start dropping while engine is running, the PDM starts cutting non-critical loads such as extra lights. We have also programmed it for "autostart" which allows a quick hands-free restart in case of a stall. If a stall occurs, simply push the clutch in and jab throttle to WOT quickly (within 10 seconds of stall) and the PDM will engage the starter automatically. This allows the driver to keep a hand on the wheel, or be selecting first gear in a sequential box while quickly firing the engine. The list of features goes on and on.

The teams first outing this season was SnoDrift Rally based in Atlanta, Michigan. A winter snow rally, it offers both tricky conditions for drivers and crews along with very demanding weather conditions to test the equipment. All of the MoTeC Systems and wiring performed flawlessly, in temps as cold as -16 degrees F. A steady and measured drive, in spite of a puncture and issues with a rear axle, netted a 5th place in class after two tough days of competition.
