stand alone ECU and wiring. what you got?

[RuskiWeldFab]

Hey guys.\
After having some minor imoboliser Setbacks haha been trying to convince myself that i DONT need standalone ECU and wiring and custom interior loom but my brain says one thing and heart goes the other way. or vise versa who cares. #BECAUSERACECAR
so been looking at kits to make my life a little easier, what you guys think of this? http://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/clio-2-ph2172/clio-2-ph2172-engine/dta-s40-wiring-loom.html
anyone run it?

or Omex600 was another contender.

I’m running an ME221 setup , uses the OE loom , not really what your looking for as your having loom issues .

The omex ecu’s & looms that I’ve fitted in the past , I’ve done omex ecu spliced in to OE loom and I’ve done Race Loom fitment also , and obviously the race loom is far easier to work with .
Again I kinda mixed the two looms as it was a road going car and needed all its bits and Bobs like sensors and gauges to work .

For you i guess you’d be doing the custom loom job as it’s #BecauseRaceCar .

 

[RuskiWeldFab]

Yeah want to get rid of the problematic UCH all together! Even tho, that car will be road legal, it will only be on the road to and from the track so don’t need any creature comforts like cold start, etc.. have you ever come across S40 ECU kit for Pure? The link above

Good luck getting rid of the uch. Even with standalone, it's not easy.
I also have ME221

 

[barnesautos]

I haven’t no , not seen the ecu before .
Similar money to Omex as well .

Why do you say that? It will be if you bin the lot and run things like lights, turn signals, wipers etc on custom wirring. Stand alone will control the rest. Correct me if I am wrong. Please

Has complete wiring for F4R. So almost plug and play. That’s what makes it so appealing to me.

I had the immobiliser issues and brought the Gen90, plugged it in and it started right up.
Thought I’d mention it incase you decide to save some cash as I was looking at custom loom etc before taking the chance with the Gen90

Oh haha. Will Gen90 not run turbo?

 

[Sigmamark]

I run an Omex 600 in my race car. Anything else I need (fuel pump, brake lights, rain light, wiper and headlights) are wired separately.

That’s the set up I am thinking just not sure on the ECU. Yet. The pure-Motosport one is very appealing because of the included harness. What harness do you have?

It sure would but it was collecting dust. And since my turbo came with piggy back controller, I thought for now (before I go high boots forged engine) I’ll run with stock ECU

I’ve got an Omex custom loom, which just runs the unit with ITBs. I bought the unit complete with the loom, which was originally piggy backed onto the stock ecu, but when the race team fitted the unit, they cut the original looms out and threw them in the bin!

Dta S40 on my car, get rid of everything and start again, easiest way. Obviously that loom that nick at Pure motorsport does is just the engine loom you’ll still Need to re-do everything else. One other thing is you’ll need a new dash/instruments as the oe won’t work without the uch and Ecu.
All electrics live under here now and dta is under the scuttle.

Hardly the easiest way.

I just bought an me221 plug and play ecu. Unplug old ecu, fit me221...easiest way

Is your car running it's full potential yet?

 

[scullyg40]

Just send your standard ECU to EFI, and you have no more immobiliser issues and you can delete your UCH.

he's not doing immobiliser delete on the phase 2 yet and it's not that easy to bin the uch and keep the stock ecu and everything else.

But you’ve still got the uch so is pointless that’s the weak link in the chain imo.

and the standard wiring and dodgy connectors!!

 

[DYL4N]

Im looking at fitting my DTA S40, im guessing ill need to rewire all switches, rev counter etc again

Thanks for this. Thinking cartek pcp + dash2.
What you running for the Dash?
You mind if I drop you a PM if I decide to go that route? Cheers

Why is the uch an issue? Never had a problem at all...

Well if it fails cant you just buy a new one?

I'd rather do that then remove alllllll the wires lol

Not when you’re sat in the assembly area ready to race you can’t!

Fair enough matey

 

[oldmanmille]

Dann2707 - when you plugged in your me221 did you do any setting changes or just fire it up?

If it’s been run in another car , it’ll prob run straight away .

If it’s a brand new unit , the base map will need loading along with the firmware . Then it’s off to the mappers after that .

How good are these ecu's?.... as I will be doing a turbo conversion pretty soon.SJ.

And how does it compare
