The ME442 Gen2 Wire-In ECU is a feature rich and future proof injection engine management system. The ME442 builds on the ME221 by also having Drive-By-Wire and EGT for enhanced engine protection. Perfect for race-going 4/6/8 cylinder applications. Built from the ground up using the latest control strategies means a modern, powerful, VE-based ECU, with an enhanced feature set including closed loop boost, in-built Wideband Lambda Control, CAN, on-board data Logging and VVT control – all in a compact form factor. Massive IO means the ME442 Gen 2 can handle anything thrown at it, and custom tables mean any specific algorithms required can be easily derived.

The ECU comes with the main connector and terminals to build your own wiring harness.

All systems bought directly from us include a remote dial-in session to help get you up and running on the base map ready for mapping.  (UK timezone).
