FA20 WRX Motec M142 ECU Package - Brewed Motorsports (2024)

The WRX Motec ECU package features the Motec M142 at it’s heart along with a Plug in wiring harness that provides a complete replacement solution for the OE (original equipment) ECU in the 2015+ Subaru WRX with the FA20DIT Engine. The WRX Motec package uses the existing engine wiring, fuel system and sensors to deliver a convenient installation with full motorsports functionality and tuning that will have your FA20 running smoother and stronger than ever.

Along with ALL engine related functions such as fuel, ignition, throttle and camshaft control, this Kit also supports other OE ECU features, including:

  • Push button start
  • Direct injector with high pressure fuel pump control and secondary port injector control (saturated high-ohm injectors. This means you are no longer restricted by the oem DI fuel system.)
  • Cruise control
  • Air Conditioner Control
  • All OE dash functionality including warnings
  • ABS System integration
  • Electronic Power Steering Integration

The supplied start file contains all calibrations and settings for the sensors, direct fuel injectors, ignition coils, knock control, throttle servo, camshaft, cruise control. It also has been calibrated to match the OE factory fueling, ignition and camshaft phasing. This saves a significant amount of time as it shortcuts the setup process. Included are many ancillary features commonly found on race cars such as; anti-lag, driver switches (e.g. pit switch, launch enable, boost trim) gearbox control, intercooler sprays, launch control, coolant pumps and traction control.

The ECU fully integrates with other MoTeC products and provides pre-defined CAN messaging for all current Display Loggers, loggers, LTCs, E888, VCS, GPS, ADR, BR2, PDM and SLM.

Drivers should be aware that specifically the following standard features do not work utilising this M1 Package: Vehicle Stability Control. As a result continuous alerts may be visible in the dash display and the following dash lights may be illuminated:
