FT600 ECU with EFI Aftermarket Engine Management System with racing features

FuelTech FT600 is the perfect association between the ECU and the dashboard; making it the world’s most complete solution presenting both features combined.

Fueled BY PASSION

FT600 ECU with EFI features include sequntial injection and ignition, closed look O2, accelerometer, gyroscope, time based launch, boost control, staging control, internal datalogger.

The FT600 has a new and exclusive extremely high quality aluminum housing, which is also waterproof to IP67 standards. Its design includes an upper visor that reduces glare and houses 10 LED lights that are color and intensity adjustable, suitable for a progressive shift light. There are also 4 more LED lights on the side of the ECU that are adjustable for diagnosing, alerts and current status of any sensor. The FT600 has an anti-glare TFT touchscreen display and embodies a redesigned dashboard exclusively developed to grant the driver an easier viewing experience. The touch screen display makes it possible to make map adjustments directly on the ECU, without the need to use a laptop.

The FT600 is able to manage sequential injection and ignition on engines from 1 up to 12 cylinders (or up to 4 rotors). It comes with an option for simplified maps which allow making initial adjustments easier or 3D maps for more advanced applications. This new ECU presents individual cylinder injection and ignition trim and exclusive features that help on the first engine start. It also contains an advanced and efficient closed loop fuel control for engine safety.

Developed on the PowerFT platform, already praised for the FT500, the FT600 presents new features such as the new SUPERSEAL automotive connectors that add up to 68 pins (20 sensor inputs and 32 outputs), accelerometer and gyroscope, 2 CAN networks, and a built-in GearController. The last feature enables the direct connection with the strain gauge sensor on the shifter, bringing new possibilities for more efficient engine gearshift cuts.

The FT600 also presents a pack of beloved racing functions used all over the world, such as time based launch features, Boost control, Staging control, Pro-Nitrous control, advanced internal datalogger, just to name a few!

The FT600 uses the same FTManager software, with all resources and existing functions. It is also compatible with all existing features and FT500 maps. You can open, edit and save maps through an interactive interface that is easy to use.

THE SAME VCU ALSO CONTROLS
ELECTRIC MOTORS

Starting from version 5.10, the PowerFT ECUs will implement specific functions for the control of electric vehicles. This will allow you to create and develop hybrid and fully electric projects, relying on the already established efficiency, precision and reliability of FuelTech products.

Among the highlights we offer:

  • New programmable tables of torque control and electric motor regeneration so that the user can control, in a precise and safe way, the delivery of torque requirements for each project.

  • The CREEPING function, which when configured allows the car to crawl smoothly immediately after releasing the brake pedal and in some situations can work as a ramp assist. This is an ideal feature for urban use, as it provides the electrified vehicle with similar behavior to a vehicle equipped with an automatic drivetrain.

  • The GEARCONTROLLER function aids gear shifting on vehicles equipped with manual transmissions. For example, controlling engine torque when the clutch pedal is pressed or through an auxiliary button on the shifter.

  • Fully configurable regeneration system control, which transforms braking action into electrical energy to recharge the batteries, similarly found in the most sophisticated vehicles in the world.

  • Control of accessories such as the DC-DC charging for the 12 V battery, vacuum pump for the brake booster, front and rear signaling lights, air conditioning and cooling of the electrical systems.

  • Full control of the most popular Battery Management Systems and frequency inverters on the market.

  • Inputs and outputs to aid the control of the battery recharging process, which increases safety for the vehicle and for the user.
