Next-Generation Engine Management

The MaxxECU GEN2 SPORT has been developed for tuners, motorsport enthusiasts, and professionals looking for a powerful and flexible standalone ECU. Its advanced hardware provides precise engine control, while the intuitive MaxxECU MTune software allows extensive configuration, calibration, diagnostics, and real-time monitoring.

With fuel and ignition calculations performed 3,000 times per second and a 2,000 Hz sampling rate on analogue and digital inputs, the GEN2 SPORT is designed to deliver fast and accurate engine management.

6 Injector and 6 Ignition Outputs

The GEN2 SPORT features 6 injector outputs supporting both high- and low-impedance injectors through peak-and-hold control, together with 6 configurable ignition outputs.

The ignition outputs can also be configured as general-purpose outputs with selectable 5V, 12V, or ground switching, providing additional flexibility for custom engine installations.

This makes the MaxxECU GEN2 SPORT particularly suitable for a wide range of four- and six-cylinder performance engines, including turbocharged, supercharged, and naturally aspirated applications.

Built-In 550 kPa MAP Sensor

The MaxxECU GEN2 SPORT features an integrated 550 kPa MAP sensor, supporting boost pressures up to approximately 4.5 bar / 65 PSI above atmospheric pressure.

The MAP sensor is user-serviceable and features a BSP 1/8 connection, making installation and maintenance straightforward.

This makes the ECU an excellent choice for high-boost turbocharged and supercharged engines.

Advanced Data Logging – 4GB Internal Storage

The GEN2 SPORT features 4GB of internal data logging capacity, allowing extensive recording of engine and vehicle parameters without requiring an external logging device.

With logging speeds of up to 1000 Hz across more than 2000 available channels, the ECU provides detailed information for engine calibration, performance analysis, diagnostics, and motorsport applications.

A built-in 3-axis accelerometer supporting up to 8 G provides additional data for analysing vehicle movement and performance.

WiFi, Bluetooth and USB-C Connectivity

The MaxxECU GEN2 SPORT offers several modern communication options:

• WiFi: Wireless communication with MaxxECU MTune software.

Compatibility with specific OEM vehicle systems and transmission controllers depends on the application and configuration.

Compact and Durable Aluminium Housing

The GEN2 SPORT features a compact black powder-coated aluminium housing designed for professional automotive installations.

With dimensions of just 175 × 138 × 35 mm, including the protruding connectors, and a weight of approximately 450 grams, the ECU can be integrated into a wide range of vehicles.

The ECU uses Superseal 1.0 connectors and features protection against overvoltage, reverse polarity, and short circuits on all inputs and outputs.

The operating voltage range of 6–22V provides flexibility for different automotive electrical systems.

High-Precision Engine Control

The dual-core ARM processor delivers accurate control of fuel injection and ignition timing.

• Ignition timing resolution: 0.1 degrees
• Injector timing resolution: 0.001 ms
• Fuel and ignition calculations: 3,000 times per second
• Analogue and digital input sampling: 2,000 Hz

These capabilities allow precise calibration and detailed monitoring for demanding engine management applications.
