Life Racing F88R Series | Modular Professional Engine Management

The Life Racing F88R ECU range offers a high-performance, modular solution for elite motorsport and specialized automotive engineering. Designed to provide a "Build Time Choice" (BTC) approach, the F88R series allows users to specify hardware configurations such as additional ignition outputs or frequency inputs—ensuring the unit perfectly matches the complexity of your powertrain without unnecessary overhead.

Advanced Processing Architecture

The F88R series utilizes a dual-processor core to maintain absolute timing accuracy under extreme conditions:

• Powerful RISC CPU: Dedicated to the execution of high-level control strategies and complex 3D mapping.

• Custom Synchronous FPGA: Handles critical engine position tracking at speeds up to 25,000rpm, ensuring rock-solid ignition and fuel delivery even in high-revving racing engines.

Versatile and Configurable I/O

Tailor your ECU to your specific engine requirements through a wide array of configurable outputs and inputs:

• Dynamic Outputs: Up to 26 user-configurable PWM power outputs, including 6 ignition coil outputs (IGBT or TTL software configurable) and 16 dedicated PWM/Fuel injector outputs.

• Full Bridge Control: Includes up to 2 full bridges (configurable as 4 half bridges or 4 PWMs) for precision Drive-by-Wire (DbW) throttle control.

• Comprehensive Inputs: 24 analogue sensor inputs, with up to 8 bipolar inputs for inductive or Hall Effect speed and position sensors.

Connectivity and Data Management

• Ultra-Fast Ethernet: 100 MHz full duplex Ethernet for instantaneous calibration and high-speed data downloads.

• Robust Logging: 32MB (R & RS models) or 64MB (RX model) of battery-backed internal memory with time/date stamped data via a real-time clock.

• Triple-Interface Communication: Features dual CAN 2.0B interfaces and an RS232 serial interface for seamless integration with dashboards, PDMs, and data loggers.

Reliability and Construction

Housed in a high-pressure die-cast, black powder-coated aluminum case, the F88R is built to thrive in the harshest environments.

• Sealing: Rated to IP65 (when mated) for superior water and dust resistance.

• Temperature: Reliable operation in ambient temperatures up to +85°C.

• Power Security: 6V to 32V input range with reverse polarity protection and individually protected sensor supplies.

Performance Upgrade Path

Future-proof your build with software-enabled features:

• Traction Control & Gearbox Control

• Direct Motor Control

• Adaptive Knock Control (BTC Option)

• Custom Security Strategies
