The Adaptronic
E420C is an all
in one solution in performance engine management systems. Throughout
2007 it has rapidly gained accolade for being one of the most advanced,
self mapping engine management systems on the market, with an ease of
use and speed of mapping surpassing its competitors. The
only ECU on the market, that can be left to self map entirely as you
drive... With
the ability to work with any factory trigger setup, direct interfacing
with the leading wideband EGO systems, wastegate control, nitrous
enrichment and timing, sophisticated knock sensing, flat shifting,
launch control, traction control, turbo timer, dual ignition and fuel maps, there is
litererally nothing that this unit cannot do...

Features
Standard ECU features
- 3D Dual Fuel and
Ignition maps
- Configurable ignition
and injection outputs to suit different applications
- Inputs for water
temperature, air temperature, auxiliary temperature (e.g turbo
bearing housing temp), manifold air pressure, throttle position,
knock sensor, EGO (exhaust gas oxygen)
- Outputs for four
injector groups - allows full sequential injection on a 4-cylinder,
or semi-sequential injection on a 6- or 8- cylinder. Up to 16
cylinder engines.
- Outputs for two
igniter groups - allows for wasted spark systems on 4-cylinder and 6
cylinder, or conventional distributor systems.
- Special features for
programmable EFI for oddfire V6 engines such as the PRV V6 found in
the Delorean and Renault V6
- Eight configurable
auxiliary outputs - four of which are configurable as high current
outputs, three of which are PWM capable.
- PC interface
- Field
upgradeable firmware
- Eight configurable
auxiliary digital inputs
- Datalogging via PC
software
Special Features
- The most advanced self
learning adaptive fuel control - with configurable tolerances and
loop gains, and conditions under which adaptive behaviour takes
place.
- Selectable AFR against
load and RPM (including high load WOT) for adaptive system to
converge to.
- Adaptive learning can
be used fully transparent to driving - allowing engine use whilst
ECU adapts to any engine modifications, cams, boost increase,
exhaust modifications...
- Fueling - Open loop,
Closed loop, and two adaptive modes - Rapid learning and slow
converging.
- Rapid self mapping
even from virgin base maps.
- Dual ignition and Fuel
maps.
- Narrow-band (factory
EGO sensor) closed loop fuel control.
- 5v Wideband EGO Sensor
control.
- Direct Serial Plug in
for the following Wideband. controllers - Direct digital link, no
need for analogue connection.
- Direct serial plug in
for M&W UEGO LS4 Wideband controller.
- Direct serial plug in
for TechEdge Wideband controller.
- Direct serial plug in
for Innovate Motorsports LC1 Wideband Controller.
- Direct control for
Zeitronic Wideband Controller.
- High current
programmable outputs - allows direct drive of solenoid valves for
boost control, air bypass etc..
- Special function
programmable outputs - allows control of water injection (against
inlet air temp), nitrous systems, anti-pollution purge valves, air
conditioners etc in relation to user defined value of any sensor.
- Open-loop idle bypass
control - allows configuration of increased idle bypass amount based
on low battery, electrical load, air conditioner etc..
- Programmable for
infinite different crank angle sensor waveforms, with up to 3
trigger inputs, and allows input with teeth that are increments of a
degree apart, or non symmetrical odd teeth trigger wheels.
- Two stage soft and
hard RPM limiting, with choice of Fuel Cut, ignition cut, or
simultaneous.
- Electronic wastegate
boost level control.
- Electronic BOV control
- Select activation via MAP level, TPS voltage and duration of
opening.
- Engine warm-up
temperature related rev limiting.
- Ability to work and
self calibrate with nearly all original engine sensors.
- Selectable Batch fire
on crank when set to sequential mode for extra fuel on starting.
- Sophisticated Ignition
knock control, with selective blanking between certain crank angle
points, user definable knock map, allowing user to tell the ECU to
ignore certain engine noise, e.g created from valve train at certain
RPM/loads, engine mounting, and active filtering of background
engine noise.
- Warm up / Cold start
enrichment.
- Very advanced
asyncronomynous throttle enrichment - allowing extra fueling to be
added, independant and between the regular injector pulses.
Programmable from seperate map.
- Stepper motor and
solenoid idle speed control.
- 5v Linear throttle pot
input or digital throttle switches capability.
- Vehicle Speed input
control and actuation.
- In gear RPM sensing
with boost and load control.
- Turbo timer - user
selectable for temperature and duration.
- Nitrous oxide solenoid
triggering with user selectable fuel enrichment and ignition
retardation.
- Full throttle flat
gear shifting, with selectable RPM parameters.
