  • Worked on a KTM 390 single cylinder water cooled engine
  • Designed a new wiring harness (according to FSAE Rule specifications)
  • Used Performance Electronics 3 ECU for tuning the engine:
    • Ignition maps (ignition advance and retard BTDC depending on engine load condition)
    • Fuel maps (fuel injection timing in milliseconds, varying pulse-width)
    • Lambda sensor (Wideband O2 sensor for achieving Rich/lean air-fuel mixtures (with reference to 14.75-stoichiometric AFR) at different RPM ranges: Starting(cranking and firing the engine), Idle, high RPMs, during acceleration/deceleration
    • Calibration several sensors: crankshaft position sensor, Throttle position sensor, MAP sensor, coolant temperature sensor
    • Controlling several outputs like the fuel pump and fan (turn ON/OFF) based on coolant temperature
  • All of the engine tuning was performed using the PE3 software and interfacing the ECU with the laptop via an ethernet cable

  • Worked on a Royal Enfield classic 500 air cooled engine
  • Used the stock wiring harness, eliminating redundant components
  • Developed a display system using arduino UNO and an LCD (16X2) displaying RPM of the differential casing and gear number (Kindly email for detailed explanations and codes)
