Features
FuelTech FT600 is the perfect association between the ECU and the dashboard; making it the world’s most complete solution presenting both features combined. The FT600 has a new and exclusive extremely high quality aluminum housing, which is also waterproof to IP67 standards. Its design includes an upper visor that reduces glare and houses 10 LED lights that are color and intensity adjustable, suitable for a progressive shift light. There are also 4 more LED lights on the side of the ECU that are adjustable for diagnosing, alerts and current status of any sensor. The FT600 has an anti-glare TFT touchscreen display and embodies a redesigned dashboard exclusively developed to grant the driver an easier viewing experience. The touch screen display makes it possible to make map adjustments directly on the ECU, without the need to use a laptop.
The FT600 is able to manage sequential injection and ignition on engines from 1 up to 12 cylinders (or up to 4 rotors). It comes with an option for simplified maps which allow making initial adjustments easier or 3D maps for more advanced applications. This new ECU presents individual cylinder injection and ignition trim and exclusive features that help on the first engine start. It also contains an advanced and efficient closed loop fuel control for engine safety.
Developed on the Power FT platform, already praised for the FT500, the FT600 presents new features such as the new SUPERSEAL automotive connectors that add up to 68 pins (20 sensor inputs and 32 outputs), accelerometer and gyroscope, 2 CAN networks, and a built-in GearController. The last feature enables the direct connection with the strain gauge sensor on the shifter, bringing new possibilities for more efficient engine gearshift cuts.
The FT600 also presents a pack of beloved racing functions used all over the world, such as time based launch features, Boost control, Staging control, Pro-Nitrous control, advanced internal datalogger, just to name a few!
The FT600 uses the same FTManager software, with all resources and existing functions. It is also compatible with all existing features and FT500 maps. You can open, edit and save maps through an interactive interface that is easy to use.
