EeziRider Features

ECU Features

Note that these are all the current features covered by the EeziRider. There are some on the charts that is in the process to be developed in the future. The hardware has the capability for it. Also note that not all of the features may be included on the same ECU as there is limited amount of drivers available. Some of the hardware classes may not include certain features due to the price range. See the selection chart for the ability of the different classes.

Fuel Delivery

·          Accurate fueling such as batch, Split Batch, Split Sequential, and Full Sequential gives better performance and fuel consumption due to constant atomization on each cylinder.

·          Fueling is done in graph or matrix method for the tuners preference.

·          All graphs or matrix data are interpolated to smooth fuel calculation accuracy for best performance though the operating ranges.

·          Fuel is calculated with MAP sensor or TPS versus RPM signals or a combination of the 2. This will accommodate most engines ranging from street to racing and from economy to performance.

·          Other sensors that are used to alter the fuel mixture are Water, Air, Altitude, Lambda, Battery Volts, Fuel Pressure and throttle response.

·          Fuel injection timing is adjustable on gear type crank angle sensors as low as 12 pulses per revolution.

·          Adjustable MAP sensor reading angle for multiple throttle body systems.

·          Two types of micro fuel injection methods (staged injectors) namely Ratio adjust or Graph Fazed method.

·          Fuel pressure control with pressure compensation maps.

Ignition Spark & Timing

·          The ECU can do Single & Multi Coil Spark Systems

·          Use standard coil packs on the engine.

·          Can be connected to most intelligent coils with internal drivers directly.

·          The EeziRider high performance drivers ensure a high performance spark adequate to ignite most mixtures of different fuels.

·          Very accurate ignition timing especially with the gear type triggers.

·          Timing is calculated with MAP sensor or TPS versus RPM signals or a combination of the 2. This will accommodate most engines ranging from street to racing.

·          Other sensors that is used to alter the Ignition Timing is Water, Air and Altitude,

·          Battery Volts is used to compensate for coil charge time.

Sensors

·          The ECU use most standard sensors on the engine – No need to do modifications on distributors or converter boards.

·          Custom Bolt-On Timing Gears may be used for older engines that run carburetors or engines with incorrect setups. Gear type triggers do make timing more accurate and responsive during blip conditions. This is the preferred method for racing applications.

·          Sensors can be calibrated to accommodate the different types found on the engines.

Idle Control & Cold Start – This functions will ease with starting a cold engine and keep the RPM’s constant when air conditioners or automatic transmissions draw power from the engine. Idle control is included on board for one and two wire idle valves. The Spitronics stepper control units can be connected to control quad and bipolar stepper motors.
