Work through each point below to find your problem. First ensure that the setup in Hyperspace is done according to the startup procedure. This means you will only have a P1 connector, and on Orion. The other connectors must be open, except for the Comms cable. Open the Hyperspace ECU […]
Testing Magnetic Crank Triggers
Work through each point below to find your problem. First ensure that the setup in Hyperspace is done according to the startup procedure. This means you will only have a P1 connector, and on Orion. The other connectors must be open, except for the Comms cable. Open the Hyperspace ECU […]
Crank and Cam Sensors
The Orion ECU is a universal controller designed for most types of Optic, Hall or Magnetic reluctor sensors. It can read 2 sensors in total. Mostly Crank and Cam or Speed sensors. Below is a link to a drawing with the different connect options for the Orion triggers. Crank & […]
Dual Map Switch
The Dual MAP and Flat Shift selection switch is a normal on/off or push button switch that is connected to the ECU. When it is on it will connect the input to earth, this indicates to the ECU which map is required at startup and if flat shift is activated […]
Launch Control
The launch control input is an analogue input that combines a digital switch with a resistor to make a dual function input. It is used for Launch and Retard functions. There are different ways to activate launch but most methods use the switch on the dashboard. Same cases a push […]
Altitude Sensor
The altitude pressure sensor provides instantaneous altitude pressure information to the Orion ECU. It will allow the Orion to calculate air density, which in turn determines the required fuel compensation for optimum combustion. It also adjusts ignition timing with altitude changes. Orion uses an optional built in internal 3 Bar […]
Tuning POT
The multi-function variable resistance potentiometer can be configured in the software to perform numerous features. These features include making changes to the fueling, ignition angle or adjusting the launch RPM without having to connect a laptop computer. Operation The POT is a variable resistor normally around 5K ohms. The signal […]
Lambda Sensor
The Lambda Sensor or Oxygen Sensor is used by the ECU to display Air Fuel Ratios AFR and optimize the fuel economy after the vehicle has been tuned. Note: In the ECU software it shows a voltage signal and not the actual AFR value. The reason is that the ECU […]
MAP Sensor
The Mean Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor provides instantaneous manifold pressure information to the ECU. The data is used to calculate air density and determine the amount fuel required for optimum combustion. This sensor influences also the advancement or retardation of ignition timing. This sensor is a reliable replacement for the […]
Throttle Position Sensor
The throttle position sensor is used by the TCU to determine what the driver’s intent is. The TCU will use the TPS, engine RPM and road speed to calculate a shift pattern to use. This sensor is very important and must be a stable signal. Most of the time the […]
