The Emtron KV16M is the motorsport-grade variant of the KV16, distinguished by its 136-way Deutsch Autosport connector system and expanded 24 analog inputs. The Deutsch Autosport connectors replace the standard Super Seal system with MIL-spec-derived circular connectors — the standard in professional motorsport harnesses for GT3, LMP, and WRC builds — providing IP67 sealing with bayonet coupling that resists vibration-induced disconnection and compatibility with existing motorsport harness infrastructure. Like the KV16, it supports 16 injection channels for staged injection on 8-cylinder engines, 12 sequential ignition channels, and quad drive-by-wire.

FAQ
Why does the KV16M use Deutsch Autosport connectors?
Deutsch Autosport circular connectors are the standard connector system in professional motorsport harnesses — GT3, LMP, WRC, and F1 builds. The 136-way Autosport connector provides IP67 sealing with bayonet coupling that resists vibration-induced disconnection, and is directly compatible with existing motorsport harness infrastructure built around Autosport pinouts.
What is the difference between the KV16M and KV16?
Both share identical output capabilities: 16 injection channels, 12 ignition channels, quad DBW, dual lambda, dual knock. The KV16M adds 8 extra analog inputs (24 vs 16) and replaces the 120-way Super Seal connectors with the 136-way Deutsch Autosport connector system — suited to professional motorsport builds where circular connectors are specified or required.
What is the difference between the KV16M and KV12?
The KV12 supports 12-channel sequential injection and ignition with direct injection capability via the Bosch HPI5 driver. The KV16M provides 16 injection channels (staged injection), 24 analog inputs, quad DBW, and uses Deutsch Autosport connectors. Choose the KV12 for direct injection applications; choose the KV16M for staged injection with maximum analog sensor capacity in a motorsport connector format.
Does the KV16M need a specific harness connector kit?
The KV16M uses Deutsch Autosport connectors — not the same as the Super Seal system on the KV8, KV12, and KV16. Harness builds use standard Deutsch Autosport contacts and tooling. Contact XTRA Motorsport before starting a KV16M harness build to confirm the connector configuration.
What is the lead time and delivery?
The KV16M is a 7-day special order item. XTRA Motorsport dispatches worldwide via DHL or UPS.
