Hondata s300 Programmable ECU Guide1.1

The document discusses how a Honda ECU determines engine settings using intake manifold pressure and engine speed to index lookup tables for ignition and fuel. It explains that tuning involves altering these main tables to suit a particular engine configuration. It also provides details on VTEC and how it uses two camshaft profiles that switch depending on engine rpm and load.

A typical fuel table is shown above. The indices used are rpm (along the bottom) and intake manifold pressure (along the side). The ECU uses
interpolation to calculate valves from the table which do not fall exactly on a row or column index. e.g. if an ignition table contains 20 degrees
advance at 2000 rpm and 10 degrees advance at 3000 rpm, when the engine rpm is 2500 rpm the ignition advance will be 15 degrees. The
interpolation actually occurs in two dimensions (engine speed and engine load).

VTEC
VTEC is one mechanism Honda uses to achieve good emissions, fuel economy and engine power from a small displacement engine. The function
of VTEC (variable valve timing and lift electronic control) is to provide two distinct camshaft profiles which are switched electro-hydraulically.
The smaller camshaft profile is called the low-speed cam; the larger the high speed cam. The camshaft profiles are switched depending on engine
rpm and load, usually from 2500 rpm to 6500 rpm. The main effect on tuning of VTEC is that there are usually two copies of every major table -
