FULL SPECIFICATIONS

Explore the complete feature list and software capabilities of MaxxECU V1.

Target engines of MaxxECU V1
  • All 1-12 cylinder engines (2/4-stroke)
  • Up to 8 cylinders fully sequentially
  • Up to 12 cylinders in wasted spark
MaxxECU V1 inputs
  • Intake air temperature sensor (IAT)
  • Coolant temperature sensor (CLT)
  • Throttle position sensor (TPS)
  • Lambda (WBO) sensor. Uses a sensor directly connected to the ECU without any additional electronics. Supports Bosch LSU 4.2 and 4.9
  • 2 trigger inputs. VR or digital. Automatic trigger level detection. The signals are processed by a completely separated processor for maximum performance and immunity against interference
  • 2 extra temperature sensors. Can be used as switches or to control additional functions
  • 2 extra 0-5V inputs. Can be used for additional sensors such as for measurement of fuel/oil pressure
  • 2 digital inputs used for example for speed sensors (VR / Hall) or switches
  • Built-in 400kPa MAP-sensor for up to 3bar/43PSI of boost
  • 8 inputs for EGT sensors. No extra electronics needed
MaxxECU V1 outputs
  • 8 peak/hold injector outputs. 1-2 high or low impedance injectors per output. 8A per output
  • 8 ignition outputs. 5V signal to drive ignition modules, CDI units or coils
  • 8 outputs for extra features. Can be used to control virtually anything. Fuel pumps, idle control, boost solenoids, nitrous, shift lights, fans, warning lights, etc. GPO 1-7 (2A) GPO 8 (5A)
MaxxECU V1 technical
  • CAN bus for tranmission control, expansion modules, OEM vehicle CAN, OBDII
  • USB communication for tuning with MTune
  • Bluetooth for connecting to mobile devices with MDash
  • 8MB memory for internal logging, up to 1000Hz
  • Supply voltage 8-22V
  • ARM Cortex-M3 120MHz main processor. Three extra processors to handle the triggers, injectors and EGT
  • Resolution on ignition: 0.1 degrees
  • Resolution on injectors: 0.001 ms
  • Updates the fuel and ignition calculations 2000 times per second
  • The fastest PC communication on the market
  • 50Hz sampling rate on all EGT inputs
  • Up to 1000Hz sampling rate on analog inputs, see tech docs.
  • Weight: 528g (without mounting brackets)
  • 140x106x46mm (excluding protruding connectors and mounting brackets)
  • Aluminium casing
MaxxECU V1 revision updates
Rev 9
  • Added support for Bosch LSU 4.9 WBO sensor
Rev 7
  • Twice as much logging memory and higher logging speed (100Hz)
  • DIN 1/2 can be used with a VR sensor directly
Rev 6
  • Injector outputs can power up to 8A per output (enables dual 2400cc Deka injectors per output).
  • Internal wideband lambda can measure even richer fuel mixtures, below lambda 0.65 (for methanol engines)
Rev 4
  • Selectable voltage on the TACH output (5 or 12V)
  • GPO7 can be used as digital input DIN3
