The F90 ECU caters for advanced and challenging applications. The twin processor unit uses a high speed RISC processor for code execution and an additional large FPGA for high speed engine position tracking, allowing the scheduling of code to be independent of signal patterns, increasing flexibility, efficiency and accuracy under transient conditions. This powerful combination also allows advanced control algorithms but yet remains easy to calibrate for the end user.
The F90 is designed to directly control and drive all GD injectors including parts from Ford, GM and Bosch (including Bosch Motorsport types) without the need for an external driver box including turbocharged, supercharged, drive by wire, twin cam, twin VVT, VTEC, gearbox differential and many more! The unique crank and cam sync logger allows the flexibility of controlling the most awkward trigger patterns, capable of running all current patterns and even future OEM timing wheels.
All of this hardware is packaged within a lightweight CNC billet aluminium case. The F90 is designed to be installed in the harshest of motorsport environments.
As standard all Life Racing ECUs include control of Twin Injection, Closed Loop Lambda, Boost, Gear Cut, Gear Blip, Idle, Limp Mode, Anti Lag, Nitrous, Launch, Variable Valve Timing, Variable Intake, Differential, Data Logging, Custom CAN, Water Injection and many many more, all free of charge! Upgrades including Digital Motor Control, Gasoline Direct Injection, Gearbox Control, Adaptive Knock Control, Traction Control, Internal Logging Memory, 12 Ignition Drivers and Custom Security are available.
