I have spoke to them a while back whilst deciding to go down the s54 route myself.They seem pretty confident about their product and reqire your engine loom which they modify and return to you with a new ecu and wiring diagram.I think they can also supply a cable throttle conversion kit or youcan get one from ca automotive,i have heard that ian haynes does the engraving on their ecu,s.maybe he would have more insight into their kit.

Hi,

I have a colleague who is using
this set up on a E46 M3 GTR Race car.

S54 Engine with Drenth 6 speed Seq box.

They run it in conjunction with a AIM
Dash which was a simple 2 wire connection,
and have some higher lift cams etc, which
required additional mapping.

His feed back is that its a very good system
and very user friendly if you want to alter
the std map etc for engine modifications.

Easy to fit, about 5 or 6 wires as its basically
a re-configured S54 engine harness adapted
to their ECU.

Its big advantage is that for a Road focused
car it retains the Vanos.

Try finding anybody to fit and map A.N. other ECU
and retain the S54 Vanos. Then ask the price.

As a tail note, Kohler Racing in Sweden also
sell these, and I believe have used them,
so given their Racing reputation it speaks
for itself.

Std Siemans MS S54 ECU is good, CSL version is
better, but if you want to make your own configurations
then for money you will struggle to find a proven
product at such good valve.

I have no association with them.

Regards,

The Gorilla.
