This Control System makes use of a linear actuator mounted on the engine to control the positioning of the existing fuel rail. This system also makes use of chckered tape mounted on the flywheel and an optical sensor to feed the RPM into the circuitry in order to control the positioning of the fuel rail. The overall design is simple (only four custom parts) and can be installed and ready for use in less than five minutes. Please consult the user manual for details regarding installation and operation.
