This kit provides a complete replacement for the factory Subaru ECU. It utilizes the existing vehicle wiring and sensors to deliver plug-in convenience. Using an integration patch harness and MoTeC M142 ECU the kit delivers fully programmable engine control to the platform while maintaining stock vehicle systems functionality. The M1 ECU is supplied with firmware preloaded and is based on MoTeC’s GPR-DI package with additional features unique to the 2015+ Subaru FA20 WRX and motorsport demands.
The kit comprises of the M142 ECU, “Plug-N-Play” patch harness, MoTeC LTC and LSU 4.9 lambda sensor.
Along with fuel, ignition and camshaft control this kit also supports other OE ECU features, including:
Push button start
Air conditioner control
High and low speed fan control
Fuel lift pump control
Cruise control
Alternator control
Brake vacuum pump control
The supplied start file contains all the calibrations and settings for the sensors, direct fuel injectors, ignition coils, knock control, throttle servo, camshafts, alternator control and fuel lift pump control. Settings for fuel delivery, ignition timing and camshaft phasing have been calibrated to a vehicle using common “bolt on” parts. This saves a significant amount of time by shortcutting the setup process. Users can begin tuning to their desired power and modifications right away with the assurance of a safe base tune. Note: Factory tumble generator valves (TGVs), Eye-Sight and CVT are not supported. The TGVs must be removed prior to the installation of this kit.
Included are many ancillary features commonly found on race cars such as anti-lag, rolling launch, driver switches, gearbox control, knock control, intercooler spray-bars, 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, LTC’s, E888, VCS, GPS, ADR, BR2, PDMs and SLMs.

OPERATION
Reference Mode: The M1 Reference Mode in this Package is locked to the Subaru WRX DIT pattern.
ECU Power: The M1 ECU will be powered only when the ignition switch is on via the Key On relay in the patch harness.
Engine Start: The OE “Key” and “Push Button” start vehicles are supported by the MoTeC solution. The appropriate setting should be indicated in the Subaru Starter section in M1 Tune.
Driver Switches: Various in-car dials and switches are acquired over the CAN Bus and assigned to Firmware resources to allow for mode switching in the ECU. See the Help for the main Subaru group in M1 Tune.
Staged Injection (Port Injectors): An 8 pin DTM connector is included that contains 12v power and outputs to run saturated port injectors. To utilize this connection the 2 pin DTM connector in the patch harness must be disconnected. This will free up the final output and disable the Subaru Starter Accessory Cut feature.
Spares: The integration harness includes a 12 pin DTM where additional resources can be pinned.
