for Engine wiring and standalone ECU S124 V8 Turbo "Part 1"
After having the mechanical part of the car sort of ready. It is time for the electronics side. I have still a list of small things to do. But for sure on the line doing all the electronics there will come more to this now short small list.
So in this video I'm going to install the ECU. Also looking for the best place for the other electrical components. Like the relais, fuses and the ignition coil amplifiers.
I'm going to use the Maxx Ecu Race for this car. I bought set with the wiring loom and the lambda sensor. There is also a possibilty to buy this with a loom or incl a relais box. I have choosen to build my own relais box for the S124 v8 so i have more room to place it where i want.
The ECU is placed in foot support plate of the passenger side. This is then direct behind the floormat. it fit's in perfectly. i have to search a little for the right rooting of the loom and the hose and other wiring to this location. Because i have to be able to flip the plate out of location to reach it. When everything working correct this rare offcourse but is should be possible.
I have also placed the top of the dashboard back in the car. Which is much easier then most people think. It is only hold it by 5 screw's and 2 ventillation runners in the middle of the dashboard. When i put the glovebox internal in i can see there is enough room below the glovebox to place the 5 or 6 relais the wiring so perfect location .
At this point I'm going to have look what i need to order for extra wiring and components for the installation and in the next video we will return to this subject.
If there are any questions just ask

This is exactly the ECU i would like for my m113. An excellent choice! I totally agree with you firing both plugs! The plugs are at either side of the combustion chamber. Im sure there would be a loss of performanace sparking one side only. Its essential to fire both, good man! Regarding the timing, and one firing slightly before the other.... maybe.... but if this is true it'll be for emissions or something. Fire them both at the same time is much better odea than finding an ECU with 16 ignition outputs!!

[@JMSpeedshop]

Yes for sure 16 . Maybe motec

My turbo m113, only one sparkplug is firing in cylinder. No problems

[@opelgarage6945]

I also have same ecu. I also use different coils.

[@lozl]

@@opelgarage6945 I'm.sire it runs fine. But I'm also certain that there is more power in it if you fired both. It will burn the charge in around half the time. I appreciate you might not need more power with forged induction but there is definitely more power if you fire both plugs. I will test it when I get mine. I have a rolling road I can test this and be certain.... in a few years when I get the m113 project going

[@opelgarage6945]

Yeh. I think is better to use both. @@lozl

[@phongnguyen007]

I have the whole M113 brand new engine assy, wonder how much you paid for the electrical parts for it to run.

[@JMSpeedshop]

Ecu is about €1400. I think . Got some parts for the fuse box. + Ignition amplifiers. Connectors. Let say around €€2k max

[@phongnguyen007]

@@JMSpeedshop Thank alot for your reply, appreciate it. Still gathering as much information as i can before decide my shopping list. Great content sir

[@flashback6939]

which maxxecu are using (sports or pro) and can we use the same setup with the m113k engine and if yes what else would be needed and one more thing just amazing 😍 loved ur work especially on 190 e

[@JMSpeedshop]

Im using a the "race" and yes same setup is possible. Just put a NA intake on the m113k blok and it is the same as NA 5.5. But with lower compression ratio. Offcourse some other internals. What do you mean what else is needed

[@flashback6939]

i meant to say if something is need for supercharger or these components will do the job@@JMSpeedshop

[@JMSpeedshop]

That depends how much power you want to run. There are examples of people run 700-800hp on stock 55k Engine

Interested to see how this standalone unit works ,reminds me of the “hillbilly hammer” on @Bicylindrico channel , go check out what he’s done with his m113 it’s got a nasty set of cams & its carbureted ! Also how much would the m113 rods & cylinder head studs be $USD ? I’ll be removing my m113 engine from w163 ASAP . I’m originally only doing head gaskets & timing chain ….. But I’m also thinking about doing a complete rebuild while I have the opportunity with the motor out & it’s age/168k miles , it would be nice to outfit this m113 engine with bigger rods & rod bolts , cylinder head studs , maybe some cams & , bigger injectors / TB . Also some nice engine jewelry like a VRP billet crank pulley / billet water pump / idler pulleys & tensioners , to bad they don’t have Long Tube Headers for w163 . Edit : that paint job on the intake & valve covers is stunning , almost make it look less “old” ha ! 👏

[@JMSpeedshop]

Thanks . Have a look on jmspeedshop.com. For pricing of the parts. I have the valve covers and intake powdercoated. I will have a look on the channel you mentioned . Thanks 👍
