The updated FK8 Honda Civic Type R Paddle Shift Package is based on MoTeC's successful GPRP-DI Package and is available on the MoTeC M142 ECU, it is a versatile and adaptable platform for the operation of this engine.

It is configured to run the Honda Civic K20C Engine with the addition of a paddle shifted gearbox using switched actuators. The Package allows for easy changes to engine tuning and hardware.

For builds pushing beyond factory limitations, the updated Package now supports optional secondary port injection, to build on the capability of the OE direct injection system. This opens the door to higher power targets, increased boost and reliable operation on high-ethanol fuel blends.

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

• Push button start
• Selectable Drive Mode including Comfort, Sport and +R using OE controls
• Direct Injection with high pressure fuel pump control.
• Adaptive Cruise Control with OE functionality*
• Engine speed matching (throttle blip) on downshifts
• OE dash functionality including warnings

* Refer to the Operation section below for details.

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. The following table shows compatible vehicles.

This Package can be used with the HONDA CIVIC FK8R 2017 M1 KIT (#11426).

• Paddle shift gearbox control for sequential gearboxes with switched actuators.
• Paddle Shift Input can be hard wired or received via CAN as either up or down switches or a single linear sensor.
• Optional lockouts for Neutral and Reverse selection.
• Up/Down actuator control, with preload times preceding the shifts and hold time to safely engage gears.
• Configurable Minimum/Maximum blip time on downshifts.
• Multiple gear shift modes such as: manual, automatic, fault modes, switch selection only, disabled.
