They are awesome! I think they are out of Australia or something. They are, however, very expensive. As a matter of fact, I think they just came out with a system designed for Hondas that is a little cheaper, but it's still $3,500.00
I think for the money, there are much better systems out there. I've done a lot of research on this and found AEM and Wolf 3d to be the best.

I know of one guy in Australia who used a M4 pro on a turbo S2000. His name is Adrian and he's out TODA RACING AUS and was part of Hypertune before hand. He said it is difficult to wire but that it is very easy to tune. They are expensive. I think it was like $2500ish? I was going to use his maps ect but I decided I could get the same fearures and quality out of the AEM EMS and with cjb80's guidence, my car should be perfectly tuned. Of course, this whole project is will take a long time to complete. Good luck, if you have the money might as well get one, otherwise, just get an AEM EMS. -Anthony

Thanks for the replys Rick & Anthony, I've already spoken to the guy from Hypertune/Toda who is very good with his advice, I just wonder'd if anyone had actually got the Motec and what model was best 'in their opinion'.

Also is the Motec a piggy back or a full swap out???

A friend in my local honda sports car club has a motec system installed on a mildly modified NA S2000.
Gains are modest around 10hp but bigger gains on the bottom end.

I believe all motecs are stand alone systems and the more expensive models support advanced data logging and telemetry.
