ECU FUNCTIONS
-
O2 Control - Closed Loop with Long Term Learning - for precise tuning (With optional external CAN O2 Wideband Controller Kit).
-
Boost Control - Closed loop with learning with flexible user-definable axis and 6 fully user-definable corrections modes - for example, boost by gear, road speed etc.
-
Flex Fuel Function (Direct sensor input) - Tune your engine's boost, fuel and ignition by ethanol content
-
Low Impedance Injector control with Programmable Injector Peak and Hold Currents
-
Closed Loop Idle Speed Control - requires 1 or 2 user-defined outputs (BAC type)
-
On-board and Laptop data logging - Data log all available channels directly to your laptop's hard drive for both tuning and diagnostics
-
CAN Bus communication for Haltech Dashes and expansion devices or OBDII (view live engine data and set and clear diagnostic trouble codes)
-
2 Injection Stages for use with Rotary Engines
-
ECU comes fully enabled, with no additional charges for advanced features.
ADVANCED TUNING
-
Tuning Table Resolution up to 32 x 16
-
Limitless tuning flexibility -Tune your engine by a combination of 3D tuning tables combined with 3D per cylinder compensations and multiple user-definable corrections
-
Tune by a combination of manifold pressure, throttle position, cam position, ethanol content, gear, road speed, race time, EGT, shock travel, ride height or any channel for ultimate flexibility - Dual mapping is a thing of the past.
-
Per Cylinder Tuning Correction - 3D
-
Wideband O2 - Connect up to 3 Channels via CAN expansion devices
