Work with tfsi from audi?

[@otavionascimento381]

@@boscovich11 it doesn’t work yet with direct injection. The only one that works, as far as I know, is Motec, but it’s very expensive. There are people running EA series engines with 2 injectors per cylinder, direct and indirect, with the Fueltech ECU in parallel to the original ECU. This is a TTRS running like that on KZbin. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqDJmIGPlNiYi5o

[@tntbiriba]

Proudly made in Brazil!

[@ttiization]

It's good to take notice that Fueltech was born in racing. This is real performance, proven with the fastest FWD cars in the world in Brazil and some of the fastest RWD cars in the world in the USA. Also it's street proven, with thousands of street builds with loads of features that include even flex fuel capabilities. So you can run any blend of E0 to E100 with it. This is the dream of any one that wants performance in Brazil

[@Jeeng1986]

Very Proud of my country for being able to supply such good and compact ECU. I have seen many 1.8 and 2.0 liters 4 cylinders engine reaching 400cv using those ecus down there in Brasil! They also have “entry” level products... a bit cheaper and also packed with goodies and features!!!

fuel garbage

[@negativeindustrial]

I could really use this in my MR2 turbo. I’m just starting the restoration process and my gauges now are a mess. I’m using my phone for speedo ATM. From my background with the identical Celicas I already know there is tons of HP/Tq hidden in Toyota’s ridiculously rich stock tune also.

[@kemosabe8313]

I am very interested in this unit. Just curious about how to wire that up for my R32 gtr...?? Im sure its possible

[@hpa101]

G'day Sean. Yes, would absolutely be possible to install into an R32 GTR. I'm not 100% sure the factory RB trigger pattern would be supported at the moment, but you'd be best to replace the original optical sensor with either a lower tooth count pattern disc, or a variable reluctor setup, as they interface much better with aftermarket ecu's in general :-). If your OEM wiring is in good shape, build a harness that extends it up to the gauge cluster, install the fueltech, and you'll be away :-). - Zac.

[@kemosabe8313]

I am actually switching to a platinum racing trigger system and ignition system. From what I've been reading on the Fueltech it should support what I'm trying to achieve

[@Aseutester]

Does any ECU maker do a 16 Sequential injector with 8 sequential of ignition ??

[@hpa101]

This Fueltech unit can handle that :-) - Zac.

haha yes ECUs are at the point where prices only really go one way now. There's always some risk but you can find some good deals on secondhand units as well from time to time. Just make sure whatever you get, FuelTech or otherwise, is supported by your chosen local tuner if you're not tuning it yourself =) - Taz.

[@romuloeduardo1547]

Actually, yup, FT450, FT550 and FT600 are totally compatible with flex fuel sensors.

[@robdehar2356]

How would this compare to my AiM mxg 1.2 display

[@andrevaramos]

Same functions and more. Didnt know your display, so searched for it. It can be configured to display different info and has datalog capabilities. Fueltech is a full standalone ECU, so the display (also fully configurable) and datalogging is just two of its many features. You can also add traction control, wideband, closed loop correction, timing control, suplementary injectors, dwell x tension and many more. Apart from really traditional motorsport ECUs (motec and syvecs come to mind), fueltech (and other similar standalone ECUs such as Octtane, Injepro, Pandoo, Megasquirt) are probably the next best thing for people in the racecar business, since you can basically change anything about the way the engine works and adapt to any settings required.

[@SnowyOwlPrepper]

What is ECU? And why have one?

[@ThaG001]

Electronic(or Engine) Control Unit. It controls most/all the electronic inputs and outputs to make a vehicle's engine run.

Nearly 5k aud for the full kit

[@hpa101]

Yes the exchange rate isn't the best for you guys at the moment either so that will fluctuate a little. There are a lot of quality ECUs on the market though, so if this one isn't for you there will be another that ticks the requirement boxes I'm sure - Taz.

Yea because this is a Brazilian product the manufacturing cost isnt cheap and sending over to Autralia isn't cheap either

[@overbuiltautomotive1299]

2300 usd yea ok ill pass not thats its not doable its just that as a tek nerd i fell like its a bit to high priced just like most things when one thinks about it do they sell motherboards or screens so as to fix it wen crap happens? ill bet not at all or if so it will be a division of price as a whole AKA high asf knowing the parts cost very little to moderate to built it just pass and stick with megasquirt and more of open source projects i can use any old tablet for screen is it fiddly yep but at over 1000 cheaper and does the job and is repairable via hard parts schematics etc its a long term maintainable unit .now if it was priced at 550 to 700 usd at most be a winner i guess

[@hpa101]

Yes every product is not for everyone one, there are pros and cons for them all for sure. A unit like this does have some distinct setup and wiring advantages over adding an extra display and logger, but if you don't need those advantages you don't need them. Remember this is essentially 3 different items in one, ECU, logger, dash display. Sometimes though you do trade off saving money for spending extra time setting things up. Some people would rather trade that money for their time to spend it on other things instead. I think if you manage to break the screen on this though in a race application, it's probably the least of your worries for what else on the car is damaged 😉 - Taz. PS: Note we don't sell any ECUs, and everything has pros and cons, even if it's yours, ours, or someone elses most favourite solution for their specific application.
