The Technology

Today's Engine Control Units (ECU) control ignition timing and fuel delivery without the benefit of real-time efficiency feedback. A range of engine sensors (air volume, temperature, knock etc) are used to determine which of a series of look-up tables is used to control the engine operation. These look-up tables are derived from "typical engine"
models and are necessarily conservative.

By replacing some of these engine sensors with a single, commercially available non-contact torque sensor to directly measure engine output power ActiveTorque exploits the benefit of having real-time engine efficiency feedback.

The ActiveTorque system utilises its’ patented LEO technology (Learning Extremum Optimisation) to dynamically calculate the optimal engine operating settings, adapting to changing operating conditions as they occur.

This novel approach to engine control optimises the performance of standard combustion engines to achieve maximum possible engine efficiency without risking damage to the engine.
