Description
The F88GDi4 (v2) features a twin processor unit which uses a high speed RISC processor for code execution. Paired with an additional large FPGA for high speed engine position tracking, allowing scheduling code to be independent of signal patterns thus increasing flexibility, efficiency and accuracy under transient conditions. This powerful combination also allows advanced control algorithms yet remains easy to calibrate for the end user.
The F88GDi4 (v2) is designed to directly drive all solenoid GD injectors including parts from Ford, GM and Bosch (including Bosch Motorsport types) without the need for an external driver box. Standard strategies include, turbocharged, supercharged, drive by wire, twin cam, twin vvt, vtec, gearbox, differential and many more. The internal data logging coupled with a unique crank and cam sync logger allows detailed analysis of input, control signals and fault diagnosis.
This powerful hardware is packaged within a lightweight high pressure die cast aluminium case designed to be installed in harsh Motorsport environments.
The V2 spec applies to all F88GDi4 units with serial numbers higher than 17000.
