Engine Management Systems
What is the function of an Engine Management System?
An Engine Management System utilizes various fundamental data points, including crankshaft position, engine speed, manifold pressure, engine temperature, throttle position, air temperature, and lambda value. Based on this information, the system regulates the appropriate fuel supply and ensures that the air-fuel mixture ignites at the correct moment.
What does an Engine Management System offer?
You are engaged in an exciting project: a chassis equipped with a powerful engine. You may have already implemented upgrades such as an enhanced exhaust system, improved intake, sharper camshafts with larger valves, or even a turbocharger or supercharger.
Consider the Van Diemen racer, originally fitted with a Ford Cosworth engine, now upgraded to a Honda S2000 engine.

The only remaining challenge is: how do you achieve optimal performance
Reverting to carburetors and a basic ignition system may seem like the simplest solution; however, this approach can be complicated and limits your tuning capabilities. It often results in endless searches for the causes of performance fluctuations and mechanical issues, without clear visibility into what is malfunctioning due to a lack of measurable data. Furthermore, mechanical systems are prone to contamination if the engine is not used for an extended period.
A new era has begun.
Electronic fuel injection and ignition systems are now affordable and accessible to all. These technologies simplify the process of working on unique vehicles, enhance the experience, and yield significantly better results.
The EFIgnition systems are programmable engine management systems capable of controlling the injection and ignition of virtually any engine, including odd-fire and rotary engines. You will no longer face issues with starting blocks, missing instrument clusters, or complex wiring harnesses that cannot be adapted to your project.
You start with a clean slate.
A new engine management system or Engine Control Unit (ECU), the EFIgnition ECU, allows you to establish a new wiring harness.
With the user-friendly software (Tunerstudio), you can easily implement adjustments such as different camshafts, exhaust systems, compression ratios, intake systems, or even a turbocharger or supercharger simply by modifying the settings in the ECU.
Service and Support.
You are never alone in this endeavor. We have assisted customers worldwide with our programmable engine management systems. Many of these clients have received remote support for correctly configuring the ECU for their specific applications. Additionally, we operate a workshop where we work daily with these systems.
This website provides clear and comprehensive information regarding the use of EFIgnition engine management systems.
