The s300 is a plug in module to the factory Honda Engine Computer (ECU) which vastly expands the capabilities of the factory ECU. Forced induction, datalogging, real time updating of parameters, engine protection are but a few of the s300 features.
Note that there is a rectangular frame ECU version of the s300 and a square frame ECU version (JDM).
Main features:
* Fits inside the ECU
* Made in USA
* Built on the proven s100/s200 code base
* USB connection for speed and compatibility
* SManager Windows based software for parameter & table editing, calibration uploading and datalogging.
* Real-time updating of ECU
* Built in calibrations for common engine combinations
* Built in datalogging to a laptop
* On board datalogging memory (2 MB memory, 20-60 minutes datalogging)
* Adjustment for different sized injectors, with overall fuel trim.
* Configurable for any MAP sensor (to at 5 Bar and above)
* TPS based table lookup for ITBs
* Engine protection from over boost.
* Expanded fuel and ignition tables, both in rpm and load, to 60 lbs boost and 11,000 rpm (these are not the upper limits)
* Launch control with anti-lag
* Full throttle shift
* Three multi purpose outputs for nitrous control or similar
* Supports lambda tracing from a wideband o2 (PLX wideband recommended)
* PWM output for boost control

* Air temperature compensation
* Water temperature compensation
* Fuel and ignition correction based on gear
* A/C shutoff conditions
* Closed loop
* Three general purpose outputs for nitrous control, quad boost control or similar
* On board datalogging trigger conditions
The s300 uses different connecting pins in the ECU from the s100/s200, and also has a slot cut in the side for the USB connector, so the ECU must be modified for use with the s300. The s300 is made to fit in a full frame ECU case (US and most markets), so will not fit in a JDM ECU case.
The s300 has datalogging to the SManager software built in via the USB port. Using a laptop the various ECU sensors can be datalogged, viewed, graphed and saved for later analysis.
Additionally the s300 has on board flash memory which allows a datalog recordings to be made without a laptop, for later access and download to a laptop. Multiple recordings can be made and stored in the s300 for a total of around 40 minutes of total datalogging time. An external switch can be used to start and stop recordings, or engine conditions can trigger recording. For instance in a drag race, the s300 can be set to start recording once the rpm is bought up to near launch rpm and automatically stop once past the traps and the rpm drops below a certain level.

Its all about mitsubishi Lancer ck4
Mitsubishi Lancer CK4 4G92 engine

This info is very useful for all ck4 user.
With 2 engines used each model 4G92 1600 cc and 4G93 1800 cc available with a five-speed manual or four-speed auto

for now we discuss about 4G92 engine model,
The Specification of 4G92 engine:
Engine model 4G92
Engine type SOHC 16V
Displacement cc1597
Bore x Stroke, mm81 x 77.5
Compression ratio 10 : 1
Max.power (Net), kw(PS)/rpm113ps/6000
Max.torque(Net), N*m(kg*m)/rpm13.9kg-m/5000


Usually the common failure found on this model was loss of ISC, ECU damaged, Air flow not work , loss of TPS, Oxygen sensor failed .Each of them is very expensive .Someone who looking for lancer f-style used car must know about the failure symptoms of engine part and how the each engine part function.first the engine Control Unit,the engine Control Unit (ECU) also known as an Engine Control Module (ECM) or Powertrain Control Unit/Module (PCU, PCM) if it controls both an engine and a transmission, is an electronic control unit which controls various aspects of an internal combustion engine's operation. The most simple ECUs simply control the quantity of fuel injected into each cylinder each engine cycle. More advanced ECUs found on most modern cars also control the ignition timing, Variable Valve Timing (VVT), the level of boost maintained by the turbocharger (in turbocharged cars), and control other peripherals. ECUs determine the quantity of fuel, ignition timing and other parameters by monitoring the engine through sensors. These can include, MAP sensor, throttle position sensor, air temperature sensor, oxygen sensor and many others.Before ECUs most engine parameters were fixed. The quantity of fuel per cylinder per engine cycle was determined by a carburetor or injector pumpCommon Symptoms before ECU damaged (from http://www.carelect.demon.co.uk)1)Erratic idle/stall at traffic lights/general poor running and starting problems which can be intermittent.2) ONE injector ceasing to function.3) Nonsense fault codes when code reader is connected.4) Code reader will not communicate with the ECU.If you have any of these symptoms it is vital that the ECU is attended to IMMEDIATELY as ANY delay can result in total loss of ECU. STOP USING THE CARECU for 4G92 F-style model is black box MR507191..ISC- Idle Speed Control The Idle Speed Control (ISC) servo, located on the throttle chamber regulates and controls the idle for the loads placed on the engine.The ISC servo is a stepper motor that regulates the amount of air taken in through the bypass circuit of the intake manifold by opening and closing the servo valve located in the air passage. The ECU will supply voltage in one polarity direction, which will turn the motor in a particular rotation.The ECU uses several sensor inputs to determine the operating condition of the engine and the loads being placed on it. The ECU adjusts the idle for air conditioning and automatic transmission loads and controls fast idle for cold start. The ECU uses the idle speed control (ISC) servo to make all of the adjustments to the idle.With this many miles on it, it is probably gummed up. I would try cleaning the throttle body and the ISC Servo. That could very well cure the problem.TPS - Throttle position sensor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThrottle body showing throttle position sensor on the rightA throttle position sensor (TPS) is a sensor used to monitor the position of the throttle in an internal combustion engine. The sensor is usually located on the butterfly spindle so that it can directly monitor the position of the butterfly throttle valve.The sensor is usually a potentiometer and therefore provides a variable resistance dependent upon the position of the butterfly valve (and hence throttle position). The sensor signal is used by the Engine Control Unit (ECU) as an input to its control system. The ignition timing and fuel injection timing (and potentially other parameters) are altered depending upon the position of the throttle, and also depending on the rate of change of that position. For example, in fuel injected engines, in order to avoid stalling, extra fuel may be injected if the throttle is opened rapidly (mimicking the accelerator pump of carburetor systems).Air flow meter From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaAir flow meter number of 4G92 is 605An air flow meter, also know as air consumption meter, is a device that measures how much air is flowing through a tube. It does not measure the volume of the air passing through the tube, it measures the amount of mass flowing through the device in a defined time segment. So, an air flow meter is just an application of mass flow meters for a special medium.The typical physical value is kg/h.Air flow meter in cars An air flow meter is used in some cars to measure the quantity of air going to the engine. The electronic control unit then calculates how much fuel is needed to inject into the intake manifold.Oxygen sensor An automotive oxygen sensor, also known as an O2 sensor, lambda probe, lambda sensor, lambda sond or EGO (exhaust gas oxygen) sensor, is a small sensor inserted into the exhaust system of a petrol engine to measure the concentration of oxygen remaining in the exhaust gas to allow an electronic control unit (ECU) to control the efficiency of the combustion process in the engine. In most modern automobiles, these sensors are attached to the engine's exhaust manifold to determine whether the mixture of air and gasoline going into the engine is rich (too little oxygen) or lean (too much oxygen). manifold absolute pressure sensor (MAP) is one of the sensors used in an internal combustion engine's electronic control system. Engines that use a MAP sensor are typically fuel injected. The manifold absolute pressure sensor provides instantaneous manifold pressure information to the engine's electronic control unit (ECU). This is necessary to calculate air density and determine the engine's air mass flow rate, which in turn is used to calculate the appropriate fuel flowAn engine control system that uses manifold absolute pressure to calculate air mass, is using the speed-density method. Engine speed (RPM) and air temperature are also necessary to complete the speed-density calculation. Not all fuel injected engines use a MAP sensor to infer mass air flow, some use a MAF sensor (mass air flow).
hope this info is useful for all ck4 user..will try to search more info about ck4 next time ..

Top Fuel lil Monster

Top Fuel has done it again,they have proved a small hatch car can go fast on track, this time they have made a new little monster which can make some big boys car pee in the back of their trunk. Top Fuel new project is the Swift Sport with a 305.5 ps . Yes a 305.5 ps sling shot.


In Fuji speed lap is where most top tuner bring their time attack machine for a time lap. So Top Fuel decided bring their swift.
The result:
Cockpit Tatebayashi skyline ECR33 - 1'55'657
Original Runduce Impreza STI GRB - 1'57'647
FAM SPEED RX7 FD3S - 1'57'890
Aspiration EVO X - 2'00'275
Top Fuel swift -1'57'595
And the list goes on.
