ChipTorque’s XEDE Processor is a sophisticated tuning tool that gives any dyno programmer control over the engine management system without having to learn the fine nuances of each vehicle’s engine management system. Our web based XMap software is available free to custom tune for accurate results. 

The XEDE is an interceptor style Engine Management System.  It generates changes in fueling and ignition timing by changing the factory ECU’s load and crank reference input signals. It has the additional functions of boost control, two stage intercooler water spray control or potentially any other on/off or PWM function including injector drive for an additional injector.  The XEDE can generate data logs and importantly can also store two separate programs which can be changed at the flick of a switch while driving, e.g. High/Low boost or Power/Economy programs.

Through easy installation using either a direct plug-in harness or wire-in harness, the XEDE allows you, the programmer, to fully custom tune almost any vehicle’s parameters using XMap software to give the most accurate result for your customer.


How the XEDE Works

The XEDE Processor integrates with an existing (usually factory) Engine Management System.  The operation of the XEDE is to modify the signals (Voltage or Frequency and Crankshaft Reference signals) before the main PCM/ECU sees the signals.  By changing the values of these signals, the resultant outputs from the PCM will be changed. If, for example, we effectively reduce the voltage that the PCM sees on the MAP sensor wire at Full Load, the PCM will see a signal that equates to less load.  Using this modified input signal, the PCM will open the injectors for less time as it expects the engine is under less load and therefore requires less fuel, thus leaning out the mixtures.  Moving the crankshaft reference signal will move the ignition timing (timing advance).


Benefits

The benefits of using an XEDE over other tuning options are:

Fast Tuning in Real Time

With over 15 years experience in tuning engine management systems – both factory and aftermarket, Lachlan and his design team incorporated what they believe to be the best functions from all the engine management systems they had tuned into the XEDE’s tuning software – XMAP. This means fast on-screen tuning in real time.
