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.
