This Plug-In Kit provides a complete replacement for the factory OE (original equipment) ECUs for the Lamborghini Huracan or Audi R8 engine. Using existing wiring, the original fuel system and sensors, it delivers convenient installation with fully programmable control.

Two M142 ECUs are supplied, one acting as a Master ECU, in which all common tuning adjustments are made, the other as a Slave ECU that takes commands from the Master, together providing full functionality plus Engine Torque Control and additional features unique to these vehicles.

Along with fuel, ignition, throttle and camshaft control, this Kit also supports other OE ECU features, including:

• Push button start
• 7-Speed DSG transmission integration with tunable shift cuts and blips
• Direct injector with high pressure fuel pump control, and secondary port injector control.
• Optional boost control via wastegate solenoids or servos
• Air conditioner control
• Variable speed fan control
• Map switching from driving modes (Strada, Sport, Corsa) and from cruise control buttons / stalk
• Fuel lift pump and coolant pump control
• Cruise control
• Integrated electronics for OE Lambda sensors
• All OE dash functionality including warnings

The Package contains the base calibration and all settings for the sensors, direct fuel injectors, port fuel injectors, ignition coils, knock control, throttle servos and camshafts. They have also been calibrated to match the OE factory fuelling, ignition and camshaft phasing. This saves a significant amount of time by shortcutting the setup process. Users can begin tuning to their desired power level right away with the assurance of a safe base tune that is equivalent to the original vehicle.

Included are many ancillary features commonly found on race cars, such as anti-lag, driver switches (e.g. pit switch, launch enable, boost trim), gearbox control, knock control, intercooler sprays, launch control, coolant pumps and traction control.

The product fully integrates with other MoTeC devices, providing pre-defined CAN messaging for all current Displays/Loggers, LTCs, E888, Video Capture Systems, GPS, ADR, BR2, PDMs and SLMs.

This product includes CAN messaging for full OE vehicle integration. The Package caters for OE vehicle systems such as power steering, ABS, starting systems and dashboards.
