Best & easiest "ECU" to use ??

[turbodriven36]

I just bought a crashed Gen 2 Hayabusa , I plan on transplanting the motor and electrics into a Project car (Formula one style) , I plan on running a turbocharger etc , basically a PRO-STREET application.. And I am not all that familar with the lastest styles of ECUs out there... Who makes the best and easiest one out there to use and is not Toooo expensive if that term applies !?!? LOL Does the Power Commander , Megasquirt and any of the other control Spark & Fuel delivery , any of them plug & play , or do you have to re-wire everything ??
Please ...... any and all help is appreciated !!

Why go after market ?
Flash / re-map the factory ECU.

Because Boostbysmith's ECU Editor is dirt cheap, plug and play, and has free software that is constantly being updated and improved. It does everything!

+1 best there is and only $208! If you want to know your speed check out the Speedohealer from Healtech. Boostbysmith and many other companies sell them, for about $115. They have alot of features including swapping bike engines into cars.

With this unit can you adjust your speedometer for different gearing used ???
I was wondering if there was a program to do this..!!!
Thanks !!

Yes you can. You can switch guages, gearing, bike to car, top speed recall, lots of features. Does alot, I'm sure alot more than I know about it. But it is perfect for your project if you want accurate speed, regardless if you use the Busa's factory guages. Check out Healtech's site, or just ask Smith the deatail's at Boostbysmith.com, his ECU Editor is the best way to go for the computer.

problem is he will need an ignition module(ignitor) from nlr as the gen 2 ignition isnt strong enough by itself to make the biggg power
yes the MS that i told you about will power the ignition no problems

and sorry i havent had any time to look at the vavle stem size on the vavles
if anyone know what the size is of the stem of the int/exh valves that would be greatly appreciated if posted here
Thank you

Smith's bike is a turbo, he'll answer any questions for you.

a friend of mine ran out of power at 400 or so HP on a gen 2 ignition wise
greg know what i am talking about
this gentleman is looking to make 500-600 hp and the gen 2 ignition wont handle this without an ignitor or some form of boosting it aka the NLR Sim

Heyyyyy..!!!

I am "NO" gentleman !!

motec stand alone ecu, everything you need in one box see htp performance

 

[smithabusa]

ecu doesn't do anything with speedo signal, can't correct it with ecu, need a seperate device for that. Agree on big hp stuff you will want an ignition amplifier like the SIM, seen a number of gen 2 turbo bikes have issues at big boost levels blowing spark out. Mine made 356 with no problem, but guessing much over that and it might start getting upset and need stronger spark.

Apart from the four grand you'll end up paying for it by the time you're done getting ripped for 'upgrades' for lambda extensions and such.....

What is 'best' is not going to be 'easiest' anyway, so what is your preference?

If you said 'easiest and cheapest' then there is only one option and that is to modify the stock ECU with EE and Greg's interface kit. Best would probably be something like a Life Racing F88, Pectel SQ6 or one of the higher-end Marelli systems, but configuring these to run the engine can be quite difficult and time consuming. MoTeC doesn't have the sophistication of any of the above and the software is a bit clumsy too.

If you are looking for 500-600 bhp and are able to build a motor to that spec, you'll probably already have a preferred system anyway. If someone else is building it for you they'll probably have a preferred system that they use themselves on the dyno to develop their engines. That way the file you end up with in your ECU should work well with the motor that's been built.

If you're fairly new to it, stick with the stock ECU as it is sophisticated enough to do a very good job indeed on its own. You will of course need EE and the interface as mentioned already unless you take your motor and ECU to someone who will do it all for you professionally.
