The ME360 Gen2 Wire-In ECU is a feature rich and future proof four/six cylinder injection engine management system. Built from the ground up using the latest control strategies means a modern, powerful, VE based ECU, with 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 ME360 Gen2 can handle anything thrown at it, and custom tables means any specific algorithms required can be easily derived.
It builds on the ME221 by also having Drive-By-Wire and EGT for enhanced engine protection. Perfect for race going 4/6 cylinder applications.
The ECU comes complete with a fully terminated Ford Duratec loom to get you up and running in no time. It is suitable for either the stock inlet, or throttle bodies.

Optional wideband lambda sensor kit (tick box at top of page + £125)
Genuine Bosch LSU 4.9 wideband lambda sensor for ME442 Plug-In ECUs including a harness for direct connection from the sensor connector to the ECU.
Optional 3 FTDI cable (tick box at top of page + £29)
A genuine FTDI cable for converting serial to USB connection for our range of ECUs.
This is not a Chinese clone, and will work correctly with our systems.
The drivers are available online.
Optional inlet temperature sensor (tick box at top of page + £29)
A Bosch/GM style 2-pin air temperature thermistor.
Uses a 2-pin mini-timer connector for wiring – the polarity doesn’t matter when wiring this sensor.
Features an M12x1.5 thread.
A typical calibration curve when using it with our ME221/ME442 ECUs is shown below:
