Re: 285whp??... Haha, it's back - with 320whp!!

I think the motor is worth less if it doesn't come with the ECU as its important to get the power from the engine.

Can LAN's ECU be used with this engine?

Probably something that's more tunable like the Hydra Nemesis.

Agreed, but the ECU adds another $4000 US on top of the engine's price. It is literally brand new, and only has dyno time on it.

I think 5k is a steal for that engine. If i didn't already have thousands in my already build very close to completion I'd give him a call.

Newsflash: Jack has decided to not only keep his H6 powered Impreza, he is going to start racing it again. Selling the Motec ECU and going with a Megasquirt to help free up some funds. Updates on Facebook (via EFI Logic).

How much does he want for the motec ecu? Or is it already claimed?

If we had some base information for the megasquirts, that would open up a wonderful option for us. I, for one, would love to use a megasquirt, but I don't have any base maps or any thing to get started. Like setting it up to use the stock sensors mainly. So try and get him to post up that information for us.

Not sure if the Motec is claimed or not.

As far as the Megasquirt, I can pass along any info on the sensors of course, but in terms of a base map: it would be useless unless you had the same cams, same compression, and the same injectors.

Do you mean why did he stop running the car? Lack of money, and he was getting married. A few years later his home life has stabilized, he is making a bit more money, and misses racing.

He switched to the Motec after running just one event on the old Autronic with the new engine. One event is a misnomer, he never even finished that event because the ECU fried.

Nearly $5000 later he had the Motec ECU and the wiring bits, but no money to run the car. So it sat. By selling the Motec he frees up a bunch of money.

Any kind of starting point would be great. At this point, we really have nothing. But yes, the main thing is getting the sensors calibrated correctly.
