发明名称 Flexible computer control for an internal combustion engine with hemispherical combustion chambers
摘要 A method of installing a flexible computer control for an internal combustion engine with a plurality of hemispherical combustion chambers includes an engine control unit (ECU), a plurality of sensors, and related components. Main harness of the ECU, which is electrically pre-connected with the ECU, electrically connected with the plurality of sensors and the related components so that data can be retrieved and sent. The data sent by the ECU enables an individual to perform modification of the internal combustion engine with a plurality of hemispherical combustion chambers.
