ME100 Ignition Only Management with a plug and play ST170 wiring loom
Four Cylinder Ignition Only Engine Management
feature rich | accurate | proven
The ME100 Wire-In is a feature rich, best-in-class four cylinder ignition management system for carburettor engines. Using the latest electronics and control strategies has resulted in a modern, powerful, 32bit ECU, with an enhanced feature set which includes full VVT control (not just switched), DSP Knock Control, spark scatter idle control, and motorsport limiters, Whether you are looking to get the best out of your fast road car or get a competitive edge with your race car, this is the ECU for you.

PLUG AND PLAY LOOMS
Our Plug and Play looms make the installation hassle-free and avoids the need for wiring-in or separately sourcing the connectors for your engine. The ME100 is offered with a choice of loom options, including harnesses for common four cylinder engines in the Ford, Vauxhall, Peugeot and VW range. We refuse to be beaten on quality; our looms are machine crimped, tension tested, electrically tested, nylon sleeved and clearly labelled. These are carried out by an ISO 9001 certified partner.
IDLE CONTROL
Spark-scatter means more stable idle response by varying the ignition advance to compensate for slight load variations. This is particularly useful for carburettor applications where no physical idle valve is present.
VVT CONTROL
Normally only available at much higher price points, the ME100 comes equipped with full, closed-loop mappable VVT control. From the simple on/off system such as Honda V-TEC, through to the continuously variable system as used by the Ford ST170 engine. Optimised camshaft timing can make a huge difference in delivering a smoother, higher torque curve across the rev-range.
3D IGNITION MAPPING
Microsecond-accuracy ignition calculations are carried out over 500 times a second giving unparalleled transient response for the driver and consistent results. Using either a throttle sensor or MAP sensor for load means you can vary ignition timing based on load for smoother power gains and optimised timing.
CUSTOM FUNCTIONALITY – DO ANYTHING!
With the in-built general purpose tables modules, the ME range of ECUs allows custom functions to be easily created. From Oil Pressure/AFR/Boost combination engine protection to gear based traction control that modifies ignition timing and reduces nitrous flow, or even just a simple fuel gauge readout – the ME platform allows all of this. No longer worry “can the ECU do this?” – its now a case of “what do you want it to do?”. Chain multiple tables and strategies to create even more complex control systems. The ECUs features are limited only by your imagination!
KNOCK PROTECTION
The ME100 features advanced knock control using DSP-processed measurement. Tuners can make the most of per-cylinder angular windowing to locate and act upon signs of knock, ensuring engine safety and longevity. Ignition retard and user-definable aggressiveness of these strategies allow you to achieve the best results on the dyno while preparing for the challenging environmental conditions on the road or track.
VIDEO INSTALL GUIDE
This short video demonstrates a typical installation of throttle bodies and the ME221 Wire-In ECU when supplied with the Zetec plug and play loom. We have designed this process to be as intuitive as possible so that it is a breeze to get up and running. The ME100 can use everything except for injector control, as it is ignition only.
MOTORSPORT FEATURES
Launch Control, 2-Step Limiters, Water Injection, Flex Fuel & Anti-Lag are all built in to the advanced feature-set of the ME100.
SWITCHABLE MAPS
Change between complete sets of ignition maps on the fly – offering a choice of wet/dry or pit lane strategies at the flick of a switch.
POWERFUL TUNING SOFTWARE
The Motorsport Electronics Integrated Tuning Environment (MEITE) is a powerful, flexible Windows tuning interface for our range of ECUs. It has fully customizable layouts and interface, allowing a user to play with just the basics (starting from one of our many base-maps), or the advanced tuner to really get under the hood, the options are there.
WORLDWIDE TUNER NETWORK
We have over 100 authorised tuners across the planet, and the list is constantly growing – meaning you’re never far away from a tuning professional who has experience of the ME100 and will therefor get the best from your engine. That being said, any competent rolling road tuner will be able to use the free MEITE software to tune the ignition tables, and we are always on hand for further support if required on the day. Want to know where to find them? See the map here.
DEDICATED AFTER-SALES SUPPORT
While we have designed our systems to be as easy to setup as possible, we take pride in the quality of service provided by our friendly, full-time technical support team. Should you ever need any assistance, you can get in touch via telephone or email.
