Motorsport Electronics ME442 Wire-In ECU

Description

The ME442 Wire-In ECU is a feature rich and future proof four, six and eight cylinder injection engine management system. Built from the ground up using the latest control strategies means a modern, powerful, VE based ECU, with enhanced feature set including closed loop boost, in-built Wideband Lambda Control, DSP Knock Control, on-board data Logging and VVT control – all in a compact form factor. Massive IO means the ME442 can handle anything thrown at it, and custom tables means any specific algorithms required can be easily derived.

The ECU comes complete with Plug+Pins, or, there are an array of Plug-In harnesses available in the store.
