my new ABS kit in my F40, and more things

Next 9th of March, we test the car in Circuit again.

The program is check the ASR function, fine tuning the different maps (Race, street and wet) also check the ABS function when the two functions are working together.
Check the robustness of the new Engine Map.
Check the robustness and confort of the ASR intervention.

After the test, we explain the results and the impresions of Mr Franciso. We hope to achieve total satisfaction of Mr. Francisco......

 

I´m not sure, if this time is the first time that one F40 in the world is equipped with ECU MOTEC for manage the engine. After read the last posts, we understand that some people think that we installed a Data aquisition Motec in our F40, but this is not correct, We install a MOTEC ECU for manage the engine, this ECU provide us different options and solutions.

ASR Function, is one of the options that we use of MOTEC. ASR Function (Anti Slip Regulation), is a very interesting function of traction control that we want to for our car.

Data Aquisition: is other function available in this ECU, for the moment, we use the data aquisition only for check the correct setup of ASR Function. is clear that if we are interested in use the data aquisition, we have a different posibilities like channels 0 to 5 v, temp. channels, etc.

Our project is focused in to improve our F40. The main points are: Safety, dynamics. Mr Francisco, is a great fan of his car, and likes to drive frequently in Public roads and sometimes in circuits.

These are the reasons for install a ABS function and ASR Function in his car.

 

This is a fascinating journey.
Thank you for the documentation of all your wonderful work!

I am afraid not! We fitted my LM with Motec and we took the software from another LM, still racing, which has also been running Motec for a while. Great project.

 

Francisco, I have 702 whp (~825hp) at 21psi (1.5 bar) on stock compression (7.7:1) on 93 US octane (~97 RON in Europe) using an M800 ECU. I think Tim's car makes similar hp using an M800 too. The key to big hp on these engines is large primary equal length headers and tuning.

Great project! Keep the updates coming.

 

Gents!!!
Yesterday I was driving for first time our F40 after install the Motec ECU. The car is fantastic, the engine is very powerfull and the engine curve is in line our requeriments.

Now, this engine setup is very good because the balance between power , engine torque, and vehicle weight it´s ok, and with the new engine configuration, the gear change are more fast.

Yesterday, I tryed only one time to activate the ASR function using a basic map, only for to know how much I can help this system, the feeling is very good, but we need to try a lot during the test and tune the ASR map.

 

Awesome work!

 

Yesterday we test the our F40 for check the ASR performance and fine tuning the setting scale for the perfect performance depending of the driving conditions (Normal, Sport, Race and in dry or wet conditions).
During this test we can feel all the potential of the new engine map (+12% hp & +13% engine torque).

Now we have a very good and funny car, we notice the fantastic results obtained in terms of safety increase, This car has never been able to drive safely during acceleration and braking. Now is possible to enjoy of our F40 all the time, in public roads, circuits, etc., you choose the driving demand level, only adjusting the selectors for ABS & ASR functions, very fast and very easy, is possible to set the ABS & ASR control values before or during driving... you decide.

Mr Francisco Vilas is very very happy with the results and i think is the first time Mr. Vilas really enjoys driving his F40.

Don´t stop more your car in the garage !!!, don´t worry for the safety, today we achieve to cross this critical line..... believe me, now can you really enjoys of your car !!!

 

Francisco, any feedback on your Black Series SLS vs. your F40?

 

There are at least another 2 with motec 800 series in the UK that I know of.

Great thread

 

Great pics and thread. It's great to see the more technical aspects.

 

Looks like a lot of money invested! Well done and thanks for sharing.

 

Sounds like a lot of fun. Take care mate.
