Motec M1 engine management is motorsport level capable system that offers endless configuration and calibration capability. Highly math modelled fuel and airflow programming allows for precise calibration and guaranteed repeatability in racing environment. The problem? The software is fairly complex, requiring a lot of very specific knowledge to properly program. We have the solution! Our 70+ hour Motec M1 training course cuts through the days, weeks, or years long learning curve and brings you the knowledge you’ll need to successfully map your own vehicle. New to tuning Motec? No problem, we have you covered! We start with the basics of downloading/installing the Motec M1 software and walk you through each training lesson in very specific order so you can learn most efficiently. Whether you are tuning a naturally aspirated, supercharged, or turbocharged engine, you’ll learn how to properly configure a base calibration file and be able to tune from cold start to full throttle pulls! In addition, we take things a step further and show you the tuning process from start-to-finish on our chassis dyno with vehicles equipped with a Motec EMS to illustrate all the concepts and techniques we learned in the training course!
