I just switched/reversed the 2 plugs that come out of the box that plug into the coil harness. One is for 12v (red wire plug) and the other is the coil signal wires. Just switch the plugs.

Tuner pro is super easy to navigate! Im not an expert by any means but after many different changes in my map I got the sled totally rideable in no time. You can do percentage changes, or value changes to the fueling cells on the map... Or at least thats what I did and my sled came around really...

update on the box and the tuning. For as far off as the base map was for me, it didnt take long to get it rideable and making full power runs. It wasnt rideable the way it was originally with the base map, super lean all the way through. Ended up adding 140% across the entire fuel map (10 and...

Is anybody running one of these fuel controllers on a turbo nytro? I have one and I really like the simplicity of the box and its capabilities but was given a base map and it was a mile off. I got the sled to run and get on boost but trying to get the fine details of the map is proving to be...

Is it the intercooler blowing off at the throttle bodies or the charge tube going into the intercooler coming off? Does your charge tube and/or your intercooler inlet have a bead rolled in the end or a weld built up around it to give more bite on the boot and keep it from blowing off?

Yeah works just like it supposed to on my nytro. I could make a bit more boost with it on my apex, 6-7psi It only makes about 2 psi on the nytro. Most people activate their LM and go WOT, if you go about 1/4 throttle then slowly ramp up to 100% throttle I could get my apex to light up and...

got it figured out, Per the MSD instructions it states when the key is switched on the red LED will light up signaling that the coil harness has power on the 12v side of the two wires. The box did exactly that. Then when the engine starts the light should go off. Mine stayed on. I ended up...

I have searched and havent found the answer to my problem. I had a msd LM on my apex. put a motec on that so I figured id put it on my nytro. All the threads with running it on a nytro say to leave the one pair of plugs open and unhooked. When I did that and turned the key on I got the power...

Yes, it was stated that it would be the marine version so water wont be an issue with the M130. Still going back and forth with details between the two ECU's so its not fully decided yet on which one ill go with but Will thinks its a no brainer to go with the M130.

So I had to reach out to motec USA, told them I cant get ahold of anyone of their dealers who does the apex M400 setup. They referred me to Will Hunsberger @ secondstreetspeed. He's been replying to my ?'s via email very promptly but hes talking me into the M130 ECU claiming its their latest...

Also what about blowing out spark at higher boost levels? Does the motec help this issue in any way? Or is the stock stator/flywheel/COP still the weak link? Whats the ballpark limit for boost levels and blowing out spark on the apex?

I feel like im pretty knowledgeable, definitely dont know it all but pre ignition happens from enough heat generated in the combustion chamber upon compression to ignite the air fuel mixture without an ignition source from the spark plug itself... how will backing off ignition timing prevent...

Great info guys! So with motec am I going to be doing my own mapping for adjustments or how does the support side work for making changes? I can tweak a fuel map here and there but some of the more complex stuff I would be needing some help for sure. And isn't the deto sensor and extra add...

At what power point are guys having to close deck the block for cylinder support and keep them from getting pushed out of round from high boost?

Appreciate the feedback! I figured the motec on the apex would be more of a factory wiring plug and play setup. I just was hoping that getting rid of the bulky factory wiring and complexity of it would be an easy option to be able to remove if running the M400. Its not a make or break thing to...
