STANDALONE ENGINE MANAGEMENT
Plan the ECU, engine hardware and calibration as one system. My MaxxECU experience includes vintage Porsche engine work with Kinsler hardware and the large-cam 964 project.
THE INSTALLATION COMES FIRST
Identify the ECU model, engine, trigger arrangement, injectors, ignition and throttle. Include the wiring and sensor specifications. Model-specific connections and functions need review before ordering additional hardware.
Large cams and individual throttle arrangements change the calibration brief. Tell me about starting, idle, low-speed response and intended operating conditions, not only the desired peak output. Mechanical setup and calibration must be considered together.
Retain the current tune with the native recording from the same configuration. Explain the symptom, revision and test conditions. A useful log captures the event itself; a screenshot after the engine has settled often misses the information we need.
It can be considered for a conversion or developed engine project after checking the required functions and connections. My Porsche work includes MaxxECU and Kinsler throttle integration.
MTune is the computer software used to configure and tune MaxxECU and review logs. PC logging records while the computer is connected; internal logging, where supported and configured, records in the ECU for later download.
Keep the original tune and log together. MTune’s native tune file uses the .MaxxECU-save extension, while logs can use .MaxxECU-log or .maxxlog. A compressed log package can include the tune as well as the recording; send the native files using our agreed transfer method.
A CSV can help with external analysis, but keep the native recording too. It preserves the original file for review, and a matched calibration helps explain what was happening during the test.
If you are unsure which system you have, start with a photo of the ECU label and the details you know.
Use the documentation and MTune software appropriate to your system. Include any unresolved starting or driving issue and the changes made since the last working configuration.
EXPERIENCE / PROJECT CONTEXT
The large-cam 964 is a distinct MaxxECU project within my vintage Porsche work, with Kinsler throttle integration and calibration around its engine specification. The project history explains how it differs from the street-cam MoTeC 964 and cable-throttle Emtron Shadow engine.
Explore the large-cam MaxxECU 964 →The MaxxECU RACE product image is a hardware example. The project record does not identify the large-cam engine’s ECU model as RACE.
Send the engine and cam specifications, Kinsler hardware details, throttle arrangement, injectors, fuel and installed ECU. My 964 work includes both cable-operated and drive-by-wire setups; the actual hardware on your engine determines the calibration scope.
I offer ECU sales and project packages. Send your engine, intended use and existing equipment so we can confirm the hardware, accessories and calibration scope before quoting. Product photos are examples, not promises of stock or fitment.
That depends on the installation, the work needed and the available data. Send the project details first. An unresolved wiring or mechanical issue may require hands-on checks before calibration can progress.
Yes, subject to coordination. Confirm the location, equipment, operator, schedule and scope with me before booking. Travel and in-person work require planning and are quoted for the project.
Tell me about your car, the equipment already installed and what you want to improve. I can review the setup before you order a tune or buy more parts.
