"Just wanted to throw my 2
cents. I am the team leader at the University of Louisville. We used PE's ECU for the
last two years with much success. I would certainly recommend it (especially for
teams new to fuel injection,
as we were). We received tech support that was out of this world. They completely
walked us through any
trouble we were having."

"PE is awesome! This ECU
is easy to tune and the price is great. What else could you want? The service is
awesome and has yet to be matched by anyone else we deal with. These guys rock."

"Our Haltech E6K had a bad
driver we bought a new ECU from PE. Brian has been so helpful on this forum, the price is
great, and it didn't have to come form Australia. Hard combination to beat."

PE-ECU-1
|
Our newest ECU, the
PE-ECU-1, is a completely adjustable engine control system well suited for both
high-revving small displacement engines as well as larger capacity 8-cylinder power
plants. The system controls both the fuel injection and ignition responsibilities for most
two and four-stroke engines. In its simplest configuration, the PE-ECU-1 system requires
only a couple of inputs to function properly. Crank position and an indication of engine
load are all that's required to get an engine up and running. The position of the
crankshaft is determined by using a standard steel pickup wheel attached to the engine
along with a Hall Effect or magnetic sensor. This combination of hardware allows the ECU
to determine engine speed and crankshaft position very precisely. |
Engine load can
come from one of three sources. Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP), throttle position or a
0-5 volt signal can be used. All of these options are available simply by configuring the
Monitor Software.
For a complete description of all of the system's capabilities, please
refer to our User's Manual and PE-ECU-1 System Datasheet on the Support
Page.

ECU
Monitor Software
ECU Monitor Software is an easy to use,
Windows based program that can be used to tune the PE-ECU-1 engine control unit. The
software is provided at no extra charge with any purchase of an engine
control system. The latest version of the software can also be downloaded for evaluation
from our Support Page. |
|
ECU
Wire Harness
Each Performance Electronics, Ltd. control package is supplied with one
un-terminated wire harness. This harness can also be purchased separately if one ECU
will be used on multiple engines. The harness consists of the mating plug for the ECU and
6 feet of electrical wire on each of the required connector pins. The harness does not
contain connectors to any other hardware such as sensors. |
|
Crank Pickup Wheel
The ECU uses the Crank Pickup Wheel to determine the position of the
crankshaft. A pickup wheel must be used with every system in order to generate this
required reference signal. Standard wheel sizes come in 2.4", 4" and 7.75"
diameters. Smaller or larger sized wheels will work with the system provided the 12-1
tooth profile is maintained. Call Performance Electronics, Ltd. for details regarding
alternate wheel sizes. Drawings for the wheels can be downloaded from our Support Page. |
