Documentation

The AMP Competition ECU represents the next generation of engine management from AMP Engine Management, combining years of proven control architecture with modern hardware integration and expanded capability for serious performance builds.

Designed for professional tuners and advanced enthusiasts, AMP Competition delivers precise control of fuel, ignition, and auxiliary systems while remaining flexible enough to grow with your project. With integrated wideband control, onboard pressure sensing, high-speed data logging, and robust automotive-grade connectivity, this ECU is engineered for demanding race, strip, and motorsport applications.

Built around a mature, race-proven control core and enhanced with AMP Engine Management hardware innovation, AMP Competition provides the confidence, speed, and expandability required for modern high-performance engines.


Hardware Overview

AMP Competition features dual SuperSeal automotive connectors with a total of 60 pins, delivering secure, environmentally sealed connections suitable for harsh engine bay conditions.

Integrated hardware includes:

  • Bosch LSU4.9 Wideband Control

  • Onboard 4-Bar MAP Sensor

  • Onboard Barometric Pressure Sensor

This combination reduces external components, simplifies wiring, and improves overall system reliability.


 

Key Capabilities of AMP Competition

    • Engine Support: Manages up to 8-cylinder engines with sequential fuel injection and ignition or up to 4-rotor rotary engines with sequential fuel and individual leading/trailing ignition outputs
    • Broad Ignition Compatibility: Supports over 50 ignition modes, including popular GM LS, Ford Coyote, Chrysler Hemi, and Bosch Motronic systems, and many more
    • VVT Control: Manages up to 4 camshafts with both open-loop and closed-loop VVT strategies
    • Enhanced Tuning Options: Supports VE-based, Speed Density, Alpha-N, MAF, and ITB tuning modes for precise control
    • Self-Learning Fuel Strategy: Real-time adaptive fuel tuning for ease of use
    • Onboard Data Logging: Logs up to 64 channels at 330Hz, removing the need for additional data logging equipment

    Inputs and Outputs

    Inputs

    • 8 Analog Inputs

    • 6 Digital Inputs

    • 5 Speed Inputs

    • Dedicated inputs for MAP, Baro, PCB Temperature 

    • LSU 4.9 Wideband O2 Sensor

    Injector and Spark Outputs

    • Up to 8 sequential high-impedance injector outputs

    • Up to 8 logic-level spark outputs

    Outputs

    • 5 PWM Outputs

    • Tach Out

    • Fuel Pump Control (on/off or PWM)

    • Stepper IAC

    Unused injector outputs can be set as programmable on/off or pwm outputs.  This I/O flexibility allows extensive control of engine, drivetrain, and auxiliary systems without additional expansion modules.  

    Communications

    • CANbus
    • Serial / RS232

    Specialized Features for Enhanced Control:

    • Boost Control: Multiple open and closed-loop strategies with table-based options for fine-tuned control
      • Boost by Gear and Speed
      • Switchable high/low boost tables
      • Single Solenoid or Dome Control Supported
    • Traction Control: Multi-strategy options including Perfect Run, RPM control, and VSS % slip
    • Launch, Trans Brake, and Bump Box Control: Advanced launch strategies for racing applications
    • Nitrous Control: Supports staged/progressive control for wet or dry nitrous setups
    • Three-Step Rev Limiter: Includes Burnout, Launch, and Redline limiters with line-lock and flat shift options
    • Speed Limiter: Pit-speed & Roll-Race limiters are also supported
    • Flex Fuel Support: Configurable blending for fuel, spark, boost, and enrichment tables based on ethanol content.  Compensates for both ethanol content and fuel temperature
    • Water Methanol Injection: Load and RPM-based variable injection control with low-fluid safety detection

    Safety and Engine Protection

    AMP Competition is built with extensive engine protection strategies to safeguard high-value engines.
