Petrol Engine Management

Specialist Components develop engine mangement systems to suit all petrol applications. We are experts in road vehicle emissions and have experience of developing firmware and calibrations to meet European and Federal exhaust emissions and OBD standards.

We can operate the latest engine technologies using our engine management systems and have succefully controlled engines with dual variable camshaft timing, electronic throttle control and gasoline direct injection (GDI). Our diesel engine management experience has enabled us to be one of the first companies to offer direct injection engine management ECUs using our programmable injector driver modules (IDM). We can also control the complex Bosch HDP5 high pressure fuel pump used in most modern GDI engines.

All the hardware, software and firmware for our ECUs is developed by SC at our premises in Norfolk, United Kingdom. This flexibility and competence allows us to produce ECUs to meet our customers' requirements in the shortest possible timescales.
