The MINI R56 2008 N14B16 package is a fully programmable replacement for the factory fitted ECU in MINI R56 models.

• Fully integrates with these original systems: direct injection, stability, dash (partially, see Vehicle Compatibility), power steering, ABS, and purge canister. Lambda control is supported with optional LTC and Bosch LSU4.9 sensor.
• Pre-configured sensor calibrations for Original Equipment (OE) sensors and engine triggers.
• Pre-configured control of primary (Direct Injector) fuel system.
• Optionally configurable secondary (Port Injector) fuel control with a tuneable balance table. Only saturated (high-ohm) secondary injectors are supported in this hardware. Peak-hold (low-ohm) secondary injectors are not supported.
• Pre-configured reference mode for engine synchronisation and control of 2 camshafts with tuneable inlet and exhaust timing tables.
• Pre-configured physical settings for engine displacement, fuel density, stoichiometric ratio, fuel pressure, and primary injector linearisation, which allow for simplified engine start-up prior to tuning.
• Pre-configured CAN messaging for OE systems including ABS / VSC, dashboard and power steering.
• Pre-configured control of 2 OE coolant fans with temperature thresholds.
• Pre-configured transient fuelling compensation using physical modelling of fuel film for direct injectors.
• Pre-configured wheel speed detection via CAN from OE ABS system, allowing gear detection via engine speed / wheel speed estimate.
• Pre-configured on-board knock control for each cylinder using the OE knock sensor (optionally can be configured to use up to 4 sensors) and selectable centre frequency.
• Pre-configured camshaft control for inlet and exhaust cams.
• Configurable boost control with single wastegate actuator. Single and dual solenoids supported.
• Configurable anti-lag for single turbo variants with ignition timing limit, fuel volume trim, ignition cut, fuel cut, engine speed limit, boost aim and throttle aim tables.
• Configurable closed loop alternator system for PWM field winding control. OE MINI alternators are not controlled by this subsystem, and will default to 14.0V.
• Gearbox position detection via sensor or engine speed / wheel speed.
• Gearbox shift request via up shift switch / down shift switch or gear lever force sensor.
• Gearbox shift control with ignition cut and engine speed matching.
• GPS acquisition and logging via CAN or RS232.
• Intercooler temperature and spray control.
• Lap distance, time and number via BR2 or switched input, with split and sector options.
• Configurable launch control with tables.
• Race time system with tables for ignition timing trim, fuel mixture aim, boost limit, and throttle limit.
• Engine Load Average channel with tables for engine speed limit, ignition timing trim, fuel mixture aim, boost limit, and throttle limit.
• Engine run time total for engine hour logging.
• Configurable security for multiple users with differing access options.
• ECU CAN Receive from a defined ID base address for data reception from MoTeC devices.
• 6 configurable driver switches, 4 rotary switches and 6 CAN switches each with 9 positions that can be simultaneously mapped to launch control, pit switch, anti-lag, traction, race time reset, engine speed limit maximum, throttle pedal translation, fuel volume trim, ignition timing, fuel mixture aim, boost limit, traction aim, and traction control range.
• Pulsed tachometer output with configurable output pin and scaling.
• Transmission pump output with transmission temperature threshold and hysteresis control.
• Traction control with tables for aim main, aim compensation, control range.
• Optional channels for additional sensors via input pin and/or CAN message, including:
  • Airbox Mass Flow, Temperature and Pressure
  • Ambient Pressure and Temperature
  • Air Conditioner Refrigerant Pressure
  • Air Conditioner Request
  • Boost Pressure
  • Brake Pressure Front and Rear
  • Brake Switch
  • Coolant Pressure and Temperature
  • Engine Oil Pressure and Temperature
  • Engine Crankcase Pressure
  • Exhaust Pressure Bank 1 and Bank 2
  • Exhaust Temperature (EGT) via TCA Thermocouple Amplifier, Generic CAN, or E888 for Collector, Bank 1 and 2 Collector, and Cylinders 1 to 4.
  • Exhaust Lambda via LTC, LTCN, or PLM for Collector, Bank 1 and 2 Collector, and Cylinders 1 to 4
  • Fuel Pressure and Temperature
  • Fuel Tank Level
  • Gear Position
  • Gear Lever Force
  • Gear Neutral Switch
  • Gear Shift Request
  • Intercooler Temperature
  • Steering Angle and Pressure
  • Transmission Temperature
  • Turbocharger Speed
  • G-Force (acceleration) - Longitudinal, Lateral, Vertical
  • Wheel Speed Front Left, Front Right, Rear Left, and Rear Right

To load the package onto the ECU, the M1 Licence - MINI R56 2008 N14B16 (part number 23069) is required.

This product includes CAN messaging for basic OE vehicle integration. It caters for OE vehicle systems such as power steering, ABS, starting systems and dashboards. Not all OE dashboard functions are reproduced. Tachometer and speed are supported, while dash warning lights and fuel displays are not.

This product offers configurable closed loop alternator control for PWM field winding control.

When the M142 ECU is installed according to the included wiring pinout, this package mimics most aspects of OE operation as follows.

A wiring schematic is included at the end of this datasheet. The components required to make up a loom based on this schematic may be purchased from MoTeC:

• 41212 – IGN4
• 65044 – Connector, 34 pin key 1
• 65045 – Connector, 26 pin key1
• 65067 – Connector, M142 34 pin key 2
