More about our engine and power wiring harnesses
Our harnesses are built here in Livonia and uses aircraft type wire with an insulation of cross-linked, modified ethylene tetrafluoreothylene co-polymer (ETFE).  The insulation resists high PH cleaning fluids, fuels, lubricating oils, and many other chemicals.
The wires can withstand extreme test temperatures, ranging from cold bend at -85°F through to 390°F. These wires are a mechanically tough, flame retardant and weight saving solution to many motorsport and aerospace applications.
The engine harness is fitted with new OEM connectors and terminals for sensors, injectors, coils, ETB, VCT and the oil pressure control valve.  We have changed the harness design compared to the original layout, the Y-split is now located between the two banks at the rear of the engine, between cylinder 4 and 8.
The harness is wrapped using a special automotive high strength and high abrasion resistive polyester tape with acrylic based adhesive.  This tape is rated for temperatures up to 300°F.

Installation of level 2 and level 3 kits:
Installing our control pack is straight forward:
- Fit the adapter for the Bosch pressure and temperature sensor on the intake manifold.
- Fit our new engine harness, it comes complete with original connectors, nothing to modify on the engine.
- Plug the throttle pedal in.
- Plug the included power supply harness into the engine harness power connector.
- Connect the two power supply wires according to the instructions.
- Connect the fuel lines and adjust your fuel pressure to 58 psi.  Use premium gasoline only.
- Connect the headers to the exhaust system.

Your engine is now ready to be started, no calibration or adjustments are required. 
We have done all the hard calibration work.

What to expect performance wise...
All our calibrations are developed to optimize performance, drive ability and fuel economy.  We have spent hours and hours on fine tuning the calibrations we offer for various stages of performance for the Godzilla engine.  One thing to bear in mind when looking at power and torque figures is to look at how the engine was tested.  Typically the engine is tested without the alternator active and without the exhaust system from the vehicle.  We test engines having the original water pump active. 
Furthermore, automotive manufacturers claim their performance data according to the J1349 norm while the motorsport industry uses the J607 norm, also called STP for Standard Temperature and Pressure  This norm specifies different conditions than the automotive norm and therefor the power rating figures are slightly higher than for performance according to J1349.  So, power ratings advertised will therefor be higher than what is originally claimed for the engine.
That said, with our calibration for the standard crate engine we found, in accordance with STP:

Maximum power:     500 hp  @ 5,800 RPM
Maximum torque:    550 lbft @ 4,000 RPM

OBD II data export:
Systems and engine harnesses supplied after October 1st 2022 now have a dedicated 16-way standard OBD II connector.  You can plug an OBD II scan tool or an OBD II compliant display module into the connector on our wiring harness to read engine data.
Please note that the engine oil pressure is NOT included in an OBD II data export.  You can use our separate oil pressure sensor kit to add oil pressure to your OBD II compliant display.

OBD II data channels exported from the ECU include these channels:

• Engine RPM
• Manifold air pressure (MAP)
• Mass air flow (MAF)
• Barometric air pressure
• Fuel pressure
• Fuel rail pressure relative to MAP
• Fuel gauge pressure for DI
• Car speed
• Inlet air temperature
• Coolant temperature
• Engine oil temperature
• Throttle position
• Pedal position %
• Lambda value bank 1 (cylinders 1 - 4)
• Lambda value bank 2 (cylinders 5 - 8)
• Fuel correction on bank 1
• Fuel correction on bank 2
• ECU battery voltage
• Ethanol %
• Turbo RPM
• Exhaust temperature bank 1
• Exhaust temperature bank 2
• Transmission actual gear

Data export via CAN:
In addition to the OBD II data export, the ECU also exports 80 data channels via CAN.  With this feature data can be displayed on a CAN based display, exported to a transmission controller or to a data logger.
You can download a document with the specifications from our Support section.

The CAN export is in Big Endian format and the baud rate is 1 Mbit/s.

On-board data recording:
Using the optional communication kit you have access to the ECU's on-board data recording.  The logging capacity is 64 Mb and it can record data from 60+ channels.
The ECU software comes complete with a data analysis software.

Vehicle speed and traction control:
The wiring harness is supplied with an auxiliary input connector.  In this connector you will find inputs for up to 4 wheel speed sensors.  Car speed can be generated from using a single speed sensor triggering off the prop shaft.
If 4 wheel speed sensors are used, one per wheel, a race developed traction control can be activated.

Drag race control and launch control:
A section in the ECU software includes launch control and drag race features.  The system will handle a two-step limiter, the transmission lock.
You can control these engine parameters as function of the drag timer.  The drag timer starts running the moment you let go of the trans lock switch:

• Target boost pressure
• Actual throttle position
• Spark advance offset
• Engine RPM limiter
• Nitrous control

Gear shift control for manual transmissions:
The software includes a gear shift strategy for use with manual race type transmissions.  The strategy includes individual shift settings for each gear for both up and down shift.

Automatic transmission controller:
A stand alone controller is required if an automatic transmission is used.  The engine wiring harness has a connector for such a controller, providing connections to:
- Power and ground
- Engine RPM and load
- CAN data export (used by some manufacturers for engine data)

Connection to instrument cluster:
Our ECU can send data via CAN to almost any instrument cluster which have a CAN link for importing data.
We are building a database for instrument clusters for which we have confirmed they will function with our ECU.  Please contact us if you are in doubt whether your cluster is able to import data via CAN and how to set it up.

Where to purchase our Godzilla control pack:
Our kit is supplied through selected specialist dealers across the country, these tuning shops can access E8G's software features.
So if you are thinking about modifying your engine, for example by fitting a high performance camshaft, fitting a supercharger or going for a turbo solution, our kit is easily updated to accept such changes.  Ask us about these performance updates.
