Features

Note that these are all the current features covered by the Orion. There are some on the charts that is in the process to be developed in the future. The hardware has the capability for it. Also note that not all of the features may be included on the same unit as there are a limited amount of drivers available. Some of the hardware classes may not include certain features due to the price range. See the selection chart for the ability of the different classes. Items in green is for future development.

Fuel Delivery

• Accurate fueling such as Batch, Split Batch, Split Sequential and Full Sequential injection gives better performance and fuel consumption due to constant atomization on each cylinder.
• Fueling is done in graph or matrix method for the tuners preference.
• All graphs or matrix data are interpolated to smooth fuel calculation accuracy for best performance though the operating ranges.
• Fuel is calculated with MAP sensor or TPS sensor versus RPM signals or a combination of the 2. This will accommodate most engines ranging from street to racing and from economy to performance.
• Other sensors that are used to alter the fuel mixture are Water, Air, Altitude, Lambda, Fuel Pressure, Battery Volts and throttle response.
• Fuel injection timing is adjustable on gear type crank angle sensors as low as 12 pulses per revolution.
• Adjustable MAP sensor reading angle on gear type crank angle sensors for multiple throttle body systems.

Ignition Spark & Timing

• The ECU can do Single, Wasted Spark Coil pack and Coil On Plug (COP) Spark Systems
• It use the standard coil packs on the engine.
• Can be connected to most coils with or without internal drivers directly. No pull-up resistor required.
• Very accurate ignition timing especially with the gear type triggers.
• Timing is calculated with MAP sensor or TPS sensor versus RPM signals or a combination of the 2. This will accommodate most engines ranging from street to racing.
• Other sensors that is used to alter the Ignition Timing is Water, Air and Altitude.
• Battery Volts is used to compensate for coil charge time.

Sensors

• The ECU use most standard sensors on the engine No need to do modifications on distributors or converter boards.
• Custom Bolt-On Timing Gears may be used for older engines that run carburetors or engines with incorrect setups. Gear type triggers do make timing more accurate and responsive during blip conditions. This is the preferred method for racing applications.
• Sensors can be calibrated to accommodate the different types found on the engines.

Idle Control & Cold Start – This functions will ease with starting a cold engine and keep the RPMs constant when air conditioners or automatic transmissions draw power from the engine. Idle control is included on board for one and two wire idle valves. The Spitronics stepper control units can be connected to control quad and bipolar stepper motors.

Launch Control – This feature will increase boost pressure during pull-off to eliminate Turbo Lag. Various methods are available to activate launch like buttons clutch switches TPS position etc.

Anti-Lag – This feature will increase boost pressure during race track to eliminate Turbo Lag. It will work in combination with the launch control settings.

Dual Maps – This ECU can be tuned for 2 different fuel and performance setups. Ideal for the weekend racing enthusiast. On TCU there is 4 maps available.

Four General Purpose Outputs – This can be used for injectors, fan control, shift light, Aircon Cut-Out on Pull-Off or Up-Hill etc. The amount of GP outputs varies between firmware and features activated on the device.

Standard Harness – No need to keep several harnesses in stock for different engines. There are however custom harnesses for certain engines that will ease installation time. All the input wiring harnesses use screened cables for neatness of installation and to prevent electromagnetic interference which may cause erratic behavior of the ECU. On the TCU we have slight variations in the Add-On boards to accommodate the different transmissions.

Compact Electronics – This will make the Orion easy to install under the dashboard as it takes very little space. It is also very suitable for Motor Cycles and boats.

Complete Kits for Most Engines and Transmissions etc.

Cost Effective – No need to buy expensive systems as all the necessary features are included with the Orion.

Rotary Systems – The 2 rotor engines are covered by the Orion.

External Map Sensor is easy to change between 1Bar, 2.5Bar, 3Bar & 4Bar configurations External sensors are used to reduce the delay in the vacuum signal. It makes the ECU more versatile to adapt to standard MAP sensors found on engines. OEM map sensors can be used and calibrated under the Custom selection.

Altitude Compensation – This feature is important as the ECU will automatically compensate for differences in pressure. The Sensor is optional and must be soldered on the board when it is ordered.

Standard Tuning Software – The features that is not used or allowed in the tuning software will be blanked out.

Easy DIY Instructions – Save a lot of money on installation if you are a person who is up to the challenge.

Start-Up Maps included – This will make for easy start-up & tuning with the help of a Lambda sensor

User Friendly – Tuning Software which is extensively explained in the manual.

Tuning map can be locked to prevent tampering. Useful for engine builders who give guarantees.

No Dyno Required – Tune your own vehicle and save some more money. Just following the instructions in the manual carefully with the use of the Hyperspace Data logger.

(Note that the last four points are for the person who is handy with tools and understand wiring and operation of an engine. If you are not sure, download the software, Map, manual and drawing and experiment with it first. It’s free of charge!)
