Research and Open ECU
Engine research needs control that production systems don't give you. Our Open ECU kits, optical engines and custom rigs put injection, ignition and data acquisition in the researcher's hands.
Open ECU kits
A production ECU runs fixed, preprogrammed maps. With an Open ECU you set injection timing, duration, rail pressure, spark timing and EGR yourself, and calibrate over CAN and K-line.

R&DU04 CRDI Kit – Open ECU with EGR
-
R&DU13 GDI Kit – Open ECU with EGR
-
R&DU15 PFI Kit – Open ECU with EGR

R&DU01 Manifold Gas Injection Kit with Open ECU and EGR
Engine test rigs are also available with an Open ECU fitted — look for the -OECU versions of our IC engines.
Optical research engines
Optical access through a fused silica liner and a sapphire piston-crown window lets you see spray, ignition and flame propagation inside the cylinder.
Built for your research
When a catalogue rig doesn't fit your experiment, we design one that does.
Discuss a research project- Custom test rigs
- Rigs designed and built to your specification, from base frame and dynamometer to instrumentation.
- Data acquisition and software
- Custom data acquisition and analysis software for performance and combustion measurements.
- Engine conversion
- Conversion of engines to alternative fuels, including gas and dual-fuel operation.
