Central Logger Details


The MoTeC ACL supports real-time data acquisition from other MoTeC devices such as the ECU, Dash Logger, and up to eight VIMs, enabling it to monitor and log over 200 inputs. It’s not just a drag racing data recorder, it’s a brain that supports critical calculations, fuel predictions, engine logs, alarms, and advanced telemetry functions. Whether you’re building a standalone ECU system or a full-scale track car, this ECU logging module gives you complete control.

Designed around a modular approach, this advanced central logger simplifies complex data setups by separating inputs, logging, and analysis. Most devices are upgraded and configured through a single software application, making the system easy to scale or adapt.

Every GTR data logger should offer pro-level insight, and the ACL delivers. It comes standard with i2 Pro analysis software, unlocking MoTeC’s most powerful suite of tools for reviewing and interpreting engine data.
