GP Lite

The GP Lite package is an entry-level platform for operating port-injected engines. This single product can be configured to a variety of complexities, from controlling a simple naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine to a twin-turbo V8. Configurable engine timing modes accommodate most modern engine drive systems.
Included are a number of auxiliary features such as driver switches (engine map, boost limit, etc.), launch control, and single-stage nitrous oxide injection. The GP Lite also supports many systems found on modified road vehicles, such as closed-loop boost control and fuel control, and includes two definable auxiliary control outputs. The package does not include drive-by-wire, variable cam control, or knock control.
It integrates seamlessly with other MoTeC products such as Display Loggers and Shift Light Modules.
Features
- Operates 1 to 8 cylinder port injection engines (M130 ECU).
- Configurable engine timing modes for many common engine types. See the Engine Speed Modes section for current details.
- GP Lite can detect camshaft position on variable cam engines for timing, but does not provide variable cam control.
- The TDC setup wizard can be used to set top dead centers on even-fire engines.
- Configurable ignition output pin for each cylinder allows for coil-on-plug or wasted spark and distributor ignition systems.
- Dual bank lambda control supported; requires optional LTC with Bosch LSU4.9 sensor or LTCN with NTK sensor.
- Physical settings for engine displacement, fuel density + molar mass, stoichiometric ratio and injector characteristics allow for simplified engine start-up prior to tuning.
- Quick and easy engine tuning using the engine volumetric efficiency map.
- Modeling engine load based on intake manifold pressure and intake manifold temperature.
- Sensor calibrations available for many common automotive sensors.
- Fuel transient compensation using fuel film physics modeling.
- Nitrous system with one activation stage with fuel and ignition compensations.
- MoTeC Device Support: Shift Light Module, Displays/Loggers
- Test settings for most outputs, including injection and ignition outputs, to make setup easier.
- Configurable closed-loop turbocharger boost control (using a normal solenoid output).
- Coolant fan outlet bracket.
- Air conditioning support with switched outlet control.
- Coolant temperature compensations for engine speed limit, ignition timing, fuel mixture, boost limit.
- Cooling pump output with PWM control.
- Coolant pump after-run functionality, optionally with additional pump output.
- Engine speed limitation with ignition cut and/or fuel cut with definable interaction.
- Fuel pump switched output.
- Calculation of engine load temperature, allows correction of inlet air temperature (compensation for heat absorption effect, etc.).
- Flame characteristic achieved by delaying ignition timing to allow enrichment and post-fire combustion of exhaust gases.
- Closed loop idle control system using ignition and/or idle solenoid.
- Idle bypass control with stepper motor supported.
- Assisted engine starting with dedicated fuel volume and idle compensation during crank start and post-start.
- Configurable security for multiple users.
- Preset ECU CAN transmit from available common channels.
- Configurable switches to control ignition timing, fuel mixture targeting, boost limit, flame functionality and nitrous injection.
- Analog tachometer output with configurable output pin and scale.
- Using a throttle position sensor for a cable throttle.
- Vehicle speed measurement using rear axle and wheel speed sensors.
- Configurable warning system with light output and CAN.
- Supports sequential and batch fuel injection.
- GPS acquisition and recording via CAN or RS232.
- Hard-coded pin inputs to reduce configuration complexity:
- AV1: Throttle position sensor
- AV2: Manifold air pressure sensor
- AV4: Fuel pressure sensor
- AV5: Oil pressure sensor
- AT1: Intake air temperature sensor
- AT2: Coolant temperature sensor
- Udig1: Reference signal (crankshaft position)
- Udig2: Synchronization signal (e.g. from camshaft position)
- 2 auxiliary outputs for PWM control of actuators added:
- Duty cycle tables using engine speed and throttle or manifold pressure shaft
- Activation based on intake manifold pressure or vehicle speed
- Auxiliary Output 1 includes tables for Ignition Timing Compensation and Fuel Volume Compensation
- Optional channels for additional sensors via input pin, including:
- Ambient pressure
- Brake switch
- Engine oil temperature
- Exhaust Lambda via LTC, LTCN or PLM for Bank 1 and/or 2
- Driver Interaction Switches
- Exhaust Temperature (EGT) via TCA Thermocouple Amplifier
- Front/rear left/right wheel speed sensors.
