The Tec3-r Total Engine Control system is the latest in ultra-high resolution engine management

systems from the company that revolutionized engine management over fifteen years ago. The Tec3-r can

be configured to control virtually any 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, 8-, or 12-cylinder engine, as well as 1-, 2-, or 3-rotor

rotary engines, dual plug 4 or 6 cylinder and 6 cylinder odd-fire. The heart of the TEC series of engine

management systems has always been a high-resolution ignition, which offers incredibly precise ignition

timing even at the highest acceleration rates. The Tec3-r continues this tradition; only what was once done

with an analog ignition circuit is now done with a high-speed microprocessor. Direct Fire Units (DFU’s) are

available from Electromotive in 2- and 3-coil versions. These DFU’s are completely weather proof, and

feature sealed electrical connectors. Additionally, the DFU’s are impedance matched for optimum

performance with our Tec3-r.

The Tec3-r with eight dedicated fuel channels and drivers also covers fuel control. This allows up to

16 low or high impedance injectors to be driven. Staged injector firing is a built-in option on the Tec3-r

for most engine configurations. Sequential operation is also available through the use of a cam position

sensor.

Four dedicated, user-definable, general-purpose outputs (GPO’s) are included with the Tec3-r to

make your high-tech engine setup a snap. The GPO’s can be used to control anything from wast-egates for

turbo setups to simple electric radiator or intercooler fans. The possibilities are nearly limitless.

In addition to the four GPO’s, there are also four GPI’s (General Purpose Inputs). Two of the GPI’s

have frequency-based input capabilities, which can process data from wheel speed sensors or similar devices.

The other two GPI’s are analog inputs only, and do not feature frequency-based capabilities. These channels

can perform fuel trims, timing trims, and many other functions.

Beside the GPO’s and GPI’s, several functions are built-in to the Tec3-r that are quite useful on

most applications. The following outputs are standard on the Tec3-r:

Tachometer (configurable to drive most modern tachs)

Check Engine Light (24 diagnostic codes)

Fuel Pump Relay Ground (activated at appropriate times by the Tec3-r)

Idle Speed Motor control (stepper motor style)

The Tec3-r uses the following inputs to perform engine management:

Crank Trigger

Cam Trigger (optional)

Manifold Air Pressure

Coolant Temperature Sensor

Manifold Air Temperature Sensor

Throttle Position Sensor

Knock Sensor (optional)

Exhaust Gas Oxygen Sensor (O2sensor)

A. Installing the Tec3-r System

A.1. How it All Works: The Two Pages You Need to Read

The goal behind Electromotive’s Total Engine Control product line is to provide complete, high-

resolution control of all functions of the modern engine, and to do so with a user-friendly interface.

Consequently, the Tec3-r is designed to easily control a huge number of complex engine management

functions through the hands of a user who is new at the game.

Engine Speed & Position = Crank Sensor…

What separates our engine management systems from those of our competitors is the fact that our

products are all designed around an ultra high-resolution ignition. For this reason, we use a 60(-2) tooth

crank trigger wheel to give the computer an extremely accurate engine position input. This is also the reason

that we do not support any other types of trigger inputs. Take, for instance, the flying magnet trigger input

used by some manufacturers: 8 cylinder engines have 4 magnets mounted to the crank trigger wheel. Our

60(-2) tooth trigger has 15 TIMES MORE RESOLUTION! From a magnetic sensor aimed at the trigger

wheel, the Tec3-r receives its input for engine speed and position.

Engine Load = MAP Sensor…

As nice as the 60(-2) tooth trigger wheel is for determining engine speed and position, more is

necessary to perform ignition and fuel control; namely a load input. While many OEM’s use Mass Airflow

(MAF) sensors to determine the airflow (and thus the load) of an engine, Electromotive systems are designed

around Manifold Air Pressure (MAP) sensors as the load-determining device. MAP sensors simply plug into

the intake manifold of the engine (after the throttle), and are inherently easier to install than MAF sensors

since they are not sensitive to vacuum leaks or engine airflow requirements. A 1-Bar MAP sensor is

designed for naturally aspirated engines. A 2-Bar sensor is used for turbo/supercharged engines with up to

15psi (about 200kPa absolute) manifold boost. A 3-Bar sensor is good for up to 30psi (300kPa), while a 4-

Bar is good for up to 45psi (400kPa). Choose the appropriate sensor for the application, and you are done.

Ignition Advance Control…

Once the MAP sensor and crank sensor are installed, the Tec3-r has inputs for RPM and load.

Under steady-state conditions on a fully warmed-up engine, these are the only necessary inputs for the Tec3-

r to control the fuel and ignition curves. Control of the ignition advance curve is quite simple: there is a

table of RPM vs. MAP in which the desired ignition advance angle is entered for every point. The table can

be made in any size from 8x8 to 16x16 data points. Between each data point, there is a 256 point

interpolation occurring. This keeps the advance curve from “stepping” from point-to-point. Additionally, it

means that the engine can be tuned with only a few input numbers; some other systems on the market rely on

the tedious input of hundreds of numbers to obtain an ignition advance curve that is still not as smooth

between data points as ours.

Fuel Injector Control…

Control of the fuel curve is very simple as well. When the user first sets up a calibration, the Tuning

Wizard is generally used. The Wizard asks for the engine horsepower, peak RPM, number of injectors, and

the amount of manifold boost. From these, a raw fuel curve is established. Most importantly, the User

Adjustable Pulse Width (UAP) is established. UAP is the fuel injector pulse width when the MAP sensor

reading is full-scale (wide-open throttle on a 1-Bar MAP sensor, 15psi boost on a 2-Bar sensor, etc.). The
