I decided to invest some time into Motec , getting up to speed on their products,
I had narrowed it down to
M84 -- Would be ideal but Lacks Knock control & Individual cylinder tables
M600 with SKM add on
M800 with SKM add on
M130/M150
From what I could see there is a big price discrepancy between 100 Series unlocked and the new M1 series with a GPA/GPR package, normally the latest tech is the most expensive ; sounded too good to be true but it is!
M1 Series
I downloaded the M1 Tune/Build software , straight away I felt comfortable in the Motec environment . First impression was a strong correlation with software development; coding parameters, custom modules to get the device to perform a function ; I presume you can do full-scale custom code modules? In what language I am not sure , what framework the M1 series is based on , .NET c# or Java .... ? Need to look into further
What I really like , I am sure whoever setup the Motec M1 Ecosytem has strong ties with Software development framework , redistributables i.e. redistributable packages (M1 builds / firmwares) ; these ECU's are generic in every sense of the word, custom firmware defines them for X model of Car, there is good scope to monetise your builds by selling on the firmware as a custom codebase for X model of car
So far I am playing around with different calibration modules , just took a look at the M1 Build software to create a custom package for the unit ; once you get familiar with the environment it will be a powerful platform to build upon! So far I am impressed , it is literally a blank canvas to work off!
