You heard right! This past weekend I took a trip to California to attend a class which outlines the finer points of MoTeC's v3 software. I have had experience tuning MoTeC systems already but their newest version of the software definitely had some awesome features in it that have a learning curve attached to them. The system uses methods to tune the engine that are definitely a departure from popular tuning culture.

The power of the system is amazing in relation to its processing ability alone. The most impressive ability of the system is its ability to do... anything. It completely user definable to point where I can even make my own maps. With great power comes great responsibility. As an example, the software is so completely end user adjustable that if you wanted to make a fuel trim table that was based off of your right wheel speed in relation to your steering angle, you could do just that, and the software would not try to stop you!!

Really, what this means to the end user, is that whatever the issue may be, however radical the cam, however big the injector, or turbo, or nitrous shot, you may have, I can configure it to work correctly. I am very excited about the adjust ability and problem solving ramifications of this system. There are many other features which it also incorporates that no other EMS can lay claim to. If you have any specific questions, or would like to know more about getting your EMS tuned here, please don't hesitate to ask!

As a friendly reminder, we also tune just about everything else under the sun. I do much more than tune just Mitsubishi's here at the shop. If you or your buddy have a cammed out ls1 or even a diesel truck, I am working to be able to support anything you can come up with!

Here is short list of the things I can think of that I have tuned at least once before. I am sure there is more.

Utec, Greddy Emanage (ultimate), Power FC, Autronic, Haltech, MoTeC, EEC Tuner, Open Source, HP Tuners, ECUTeK, Megasquirt, DTA Fast, AEM (FIC), Electromotive, Microtech, DSM Link, Pro EFI, Stinger 4 (EMSS), Hondata, Chrome, Tec2, Big Stuff, AIM Dash Systems, Apex-I SAFC/ VAFC/Neo series, Split Second Systems, VooDoo Box, TurboXS Dtec, MapECU, Maf(Map) Translator, HKS Super AFR, Aquamist HFS-5, Snow Performance, Devils Own, Alky Control, SDS, Various Nitrous Systems

Since were on the subject, I am also:
Factory AEM trained
MoTeC Version 3 Software trained
Specialized Automotive Tech School Graduate
Successfully Completed EFI 101
Completed Toyota TPAT Program
Visual Basic, C++ trained,
A+ Certified
Cisco Network Systems trained

Since I have worked at AMS, I have tuned well over a thousand cars, both on and off our Dynojet 424xLC (load control). I've been around the country tuning cars on site for customers that do not have a decent tuning solution in their area. In addition to that we are all over the country doing on site race and tech support for our customers and our own race cars. Our dyno has over 16,800 runs on it from just about every car manufacturer. About 85% of which were all made by me {thumbup}.

Finally, here is a silly picture of Martin and I tuning the EVO X with ECUTeK for the first time:

Sorry, but Ah, ok...whatever it is you do, eh, good luck with that.

[JoeyFiasco]

congrats on the cert man.

so does the motec v3 software allow you to talk/flash to our ECU, or do you have to create/configure in motec then translate to bmw lingo?

[Vince@ V K Motorwerks]

Good to hear Chris, congrads on your new Motech cert!

-Vince

(as a side note: I had a chance to meet Chris when we were useing their dyno for our FMIC. He is a great guy, very outgoing and helpful. I feel Chris and his company AMS will do great things for our community.)

[ar design]

Nice!

[TMR]

This is great news. Does that mean you will be working on a PNP AMS ECU for the N54?

[pdjafari]

do you have any tuning experience with an HKS Fcon Vpro

[mwahlert]

isn't motec a standalone?

[i2iSTUDIOS]

yeah, thanks for putting out the resume, make a product, dyno it, run it on the track, and get back to us, then we'll be excited.

[Sal@AUTOcouture]

I was wondering what you guys have been up to! Been a while since I saw any AMS updates on here...

[Jet335i]

tough to impress anyone in this forum it seems like!

You aren't forced to read every thread. All you have to do is not click on it!

Happy Holidays.

[tg123]

Nice!!!

[BeAmW335i]

Sorry, I'm not familiar with AMS and after reading your first post, you're obviously a tuner. What are you developing for this community? I'm guessing either a flash or piggy?

Do a quick google on them.

As for what they are working on developing, I think the answer is everything

Thanks! MoTeC is really an advanced stand-alone that most people here do not have a use for. We use it in highly developed race cars because it has the control and features that we need. I posted this on another forum originally and I copied it over here just to demonstrate our tuning capabilities and let any interested parties know that we have the capability to handle just about anything.

I doubt there is going to be a PNP ECU for the N54, but I'm sure we can make some custom, one off stuff to accomodate any project.

We do not have any HKS licensing here. We have not found it necessary to use it in the past.

Yes

[Deda]

nice.

[retrodrive]

Its cool that you have attended a class but why would you post it here? Its not like you guys are about to comeout with Motec standalone solution.

However these guys have more experience under their belt than most shops and tuners combined... Give it some time

No it actually means that he now can play around with one of the most advanced standalone systems in the world, if not THE most advanced. What does this mean for us? Well it pretty much means that he can tune your car to shift gears through your cruise control lever, or accelerate using your window controls... So yea, MoTec might be a little much for a lot of our applications although it will definitely come in handy once there are turbo upgrades available for the n54...

I can't wait until someone finally taps into the stock ecu so we could flash these suckers

[GGreek5]

Congrats man!! Pay no attention to the assholes posting negative sh!t. They're just bored and need attention.
