Race Engine Calibration for Optimal

Performance E-Seminar

Price $ 685

The engine control module (ECM, or on-board computer) is the tool used to control the fuel injection rate, fuel injection timing, ignition

timing, rate of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and other functions. The task of "programming" the ECM is much easier for a race

engine than for a production engine because the calibration engineer does not need to be concerned about emissions: EGR, keeping

the exhaust catalyst "happy", etc.

In this e-Seminar, Professor Ron Matthews provides a practical introduction to ECMs, including the uses for the various sensors. He

discusses the specific methods used to incorporate the various sensor signals into the ECM's control systems for the fuel injection

rate, fuel injection timing, and ignition timing. Background information includes an understanding of the desired air/fuel ratio and

optimum ignition timing. While examples are tailored around the application of the ECM to Formula SAE race engines, this e-Seminar

is useful for improving any engineer's understanding of the functions of the ECM for other types of race engines as well as production

engines.

Based on the popular classroom seminar, this course offers four and a half hours of instruction divided into six modules; more than

two hours of bonus material and software demonstrations; and a glossary of acronyms, accompanied by a handbook.

Major topics include:

Basic Engine Theory

ECM, Sensors, and Actuators

Air/Fuel Ratio Control

Ignition Timing

The Calibration Process
