Anyone know if there will be a Apexi commander style screen for the Simtek ecu's ?

 

in the pipeline, still

 

When/if this happens, I'm there!

Also, I heard rumblings that they're gonna add a OEM-type knock correction ign timing adv/ret feature - anyone know the sitrep on this too?

 

I think this will do the business

 

Something id also like to add to mine

 

That's really clear and rather nice.

Does it monitor knock too (is it that row of lights at the very top)?

Can it be used with ANY ECU?

 

I think it can monitor knock - this is the simtek site it came from & I think it can only be used with their ecu's

 

That pic above is not it or what it will look like.

I spoke to simtek at the piston heads show and he showed me one of the screens they are making. It's a bit like the motec units but the hole screen can have images on it.

They said that they are looking at making two types. One will be like the psi3 unit, a din unit and the other will replace all your clocks just the motec units and have everything on it u need, all so maybe touch screen for both of them?

The main thing is don't expect it this year, it was in a very early stage from what i was showen.

All so saw how the Nos control works UUUmmmm nice

Ash

 

so if that isn't a replacement dash, what is it?

 

I just mean it is not that unit that is in that pic.

All so if you look at that unit it only has sections of out put(if u get what i mean)

The unit i was showed, the hole thing is a screen, So can show alot more, (Understand)

 

I see.. I thought it was along the same lines of the Motec unit.. DOH!

 

The biggest problem you have Jon is that you were on the wrong website.
SimTek Performance Engine Management is the correct address for SimTek.
The screen has been developed and used, but hasn't been put into mass production as yet, they are busy developing 2 other ecu types at the moment.

 

oops... my Google skills fail me again

 

One of the great plus points about SimTek as a company is their accessibility.

Last year I wanted to run a new age ICV & TPS in conjunction with a MY99 ECU. ECU was dispatched and was back on my desk within 3 days! Job done


Jase.

 

Jase, don't Simtek also sort the Gp.N/Gp.A rally boys out, hence the reason why they're no doubt 'used to' short lead times/quick turnaround jobs, etc.? If so, then us mere mortals benefit big time - as you have illustrated (not that you're a mere mortal, you understand )

Fantastic service goes a long way in one's perception of a company's corporate 'face' - it accounts for sooo much IMO

 

Absolutely. SimTek have had great success in the rally circles. It was also announced at the Autosport show that they will be supplying (& mapping) the Pirelli team in next years BRC (and quite a few other teams too!). They have also had interest shown from a certain Japanese company

I will also mention that the back up & support we have received is by far the best of any company we have ever dealt with.
