5 F88 Series F88 The new version the popular F88 ECU has been upgraded to allow easy and cost effective control of Gasoline Direct Injection engines from 1 to 8 cylinders. The F88 can be used for both DI and non DI applications. The new H-Bridge circuitry will directly control a high pressure fuel pump (up to 200 bar) and drive by wire throttle. F88GDI The F88GDI has been specifically designed for gasoline direct injection engines with four or less injectors. This ECU eliminates the need for an external injector driver unit. It uses the same control strategies and processing power as the F88 however the overall complexity is reduced for users who do not require the vast amount of I/O the F88 utilises. F88R/RS/RX The F88R/RS/RX range has been specifically designed for applications where cost is paramount. These ECUs incorporate the same control strategies and processing power as the F88 however

6 unnecessary hardware components have been removed so that the overall cost can be reduced for users who do not require the vast amount of I/O the F88 utilises.

7 F88R The F88R ECU is the most cost effective engine management system of the F88 series. Based on the F88 architecture the R is by no means a compromise it just has less inputs and outputs for those applications that don t require the complexity of the full F88. This 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 easy to map for the end user. The F88R is designed to control most complex engines including, turbocharged, supercharged, twin drive by wire, twin cam, twin vvt, vtec, gdi, gearbox, differential and many more! The unique crank and cam sync logger allow the flexibility of controlling the most awkward trigger patterns capable of running all current known patterns and even future OEM timing wheels. All of this hardware is packaged within a lightweight CNC billet aluminium case. Designed to be installed in the most harshest of motorsport environments.

40 Gearshift System Life Racing s gearshift system allows fast and reliable gear changes without the need for lifting off the throttle or using the clutch whilst racing. This also allows the driver to keep both hands on the steering wheel as gear shifting is requested via paddle switches. All associated parts have been specifically designed in house to cater for the needs of different model gearboxes. This pneumatically operated gearshift system is designed for use with any sequential gearbox and consists of the following supplied parts: Gearshift Actuator Throttle Blipper Solenoid Valves Accumulator Compressor Electronic Control Unit Driver Paddle Switches (plus other small accessories, wiring harness and pneumatic pipework / fittings) The stroke of the gearshift actuator is ~30mm; an installation specific bracket is also supplied in order to mount the actuator to the gearbox casing. The maximum stroke of the throttle blipper is ~20mm. The Life Racing GCU controls the actuator and associated components, when the driver requests a gearshift via the steering wheel mounted switches; the throttle blipper is actuated on downshifts, in order to equalise the gearbox shaft speeds during the change. On upshifts, engine power is cut momentarily, in order to remove loading from the dogs; the driver does not need to remove his foot from the throttle pedal.

41 All Life Racing ECUs are able to control both the engine and gearbox in most applications or can operate as a standalone gearshift controller (GCU), with appropriate interfaces to an existing engine ECU. The benefits over a manual gearshift system include: Reduced gearshift time Enhanced actuation consistency Minimised driver effort and distraction Gear ratio learning Prevention of engine damage during downshifts Minimise dog wear Lightweight
