The EM-6 is the latest evolution of our highly successful EM-1, EM-2, EM-3, EM-4 , EM-5 systems used in some of the fastest performance vehicles in 45 countries worldwide. The sixth generation system features new closed loop control, a 5th Gauge mode and card data logging (optional). Proven bulletproof in the high heat and brutal pounding of desert offroad racing and the demanding Experimental aviation market. Over 11,000 electronic controllers produced with an estimated 23 million hours collectively on these over 30 years.
SDS offers 3 basic units to cover most popular applications:
With SDS, the programming software is embedded, reliable and proven- nothing to load and values are retained in memory even with power off. Programming can be accomplished with the engine turned off or running. No laptop required for tuning or monitoring. Four gauge modes permit real-time monitoring of all sensor inputs to the ECU complete with fault diagnostics on-screen. A mixture trim knob permits a full + or - 50% change in pulse width from the programmed values. Major SDS components are housed in quality aluminum enclosures and we offer a 3 year warranty on parts and labor.
The EM-6 series has been evolved in over 30 years of development, testing and real world use on a variety of street, race and special applications. SDS has been successfully used on cars, boats and amateur built aircraft.
For Ford EEC equipped vehicles, check out the SDS plug-in systems offered by Western Motorsports on our Dealer/Links Page or: www.wmsracing.com
Please note: Installation of SDS will void most vehicle warranties and emission compliance in some areas. Check your local laws for street driven vehicles.
