Full details
ECU Master EMU Black
ECU Master EMU Black is a highly advanced and modern engine management system that can control both 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines in sequential up to 6 cylinders or waste-fire up to 12 cylinders.
EMU Black has built-in support for CAN-BUS, EGT, DBW (E-Gas), sensors, broadband lambda and much more
ECU Master EMU is very stable and very easy to calibrate and navigate. In addition, updates are regularly updated with new features and improvements.
ENCLOSURE
EMU BLACK bespoke enclosure is made from CNC machined aluminium. The enclosure design guarantee high immunity to mechanical damage, water resist (IP65) and very good heat conduction from electronic components.
Additional hole through the enclosure provides mounting point.
At the front of the enclosure there is a USB sealed connector for PC communication and MAP sensor connection tube.
PCB
EMU BLACK utilize 4 layers PCB board and most of components are SMD type (except connectors) and coated with special surface protecting the board and components from moist. Due to design, the device is extremely immune to the vibration.
Device is assembled according to IPC-S-815A standards on fully automated assembly line with optical inspection to ensure highest possible quality.
Carefully electronic components selection allows proper device operation in very wide temperature range (-40C to 105C) (AECQ-100 GRADE2)
ANALOGUE INPUTS
EMU BLACK has has two additional analogues inputs in comparison to regular EMU. In addition to this each analogue input has software selectable pullup / pulldown (4700Ohm). For CLT and IAT inputs the pullup resistor is 2200Ohm and could be disabled via software. That allows easy sharing temperature signals with OEM ECU when connected in parallel.
SWITCH INPUTS
EMU BLACK introduces 3 digital switch inputs that could be used for activating strategies by switching input to the sensor ground.
TRIGGER INPUTS
The input circuit for trigger inputs was redesigned. For each trigger input (Primary trigger, CAM#1, CAM#2 and VSS) pullup / pulldown could be selected (4700Ohm, 1000Ohm, 820Ohm) as well as analogue filter level (none, low, medium hall).
Primary trigger input could be HALL or VR (software selectable). For VR sensor the adaptive level could be changed (low, high).
For CAM#1 and CAM#2 inputs the reference voltage could be defined in separate 2D tables in function of RPM what greatly improves noise immunity for VR sensors (the higher RPM the higher trigger voltage threshold)
For VSS sensor VR or HALL sensor type could be selected.
FLEX FUEL INPUT
EMU BLACK introduces separate input for Flex Fuel sensor ( regular EMU uses CAM#2 or VSS input for this purpose).
IGNITION OUTPUTS
Ignition output circuit was redesigned especially the driver of active coils. EMU BLACK supports active and passive coils (software selectable). In comparison to regular EMU it is possible to drive 2 active coils from one ignition output. In addition to this when active coils are selected for connected passive coils no damage occurs.
H-BRIDGE
The stepper outputs of regular EMU were replaced by two state of the art bullet proof H-BRIDGEs with over 6A continuous current (1A for regular EMU). It allows to control stepper motors, electronic throttle, VANOS as well as any solenoid with current draw lower than 6A (low and high side drive possible)
DBW
Due to high current capability of built in H-BRIDGE, EMU BLACK is able to control directly electronic throttle (no external module required). Moreover the control strategy was improved (two times higher update rate, defined PWM frequency from 1000Hz to 8000Hz) to allow higher precision of throttle control. For safety reason the DBW strategy works on 2 separate processors and any malfunctioning in one of them causes throttle limp mode.
AUX OUTPUTS
All AUX outputs of EMU BLACK have built in fly-back circuit for precise control of solenoids (in regular EMU external diodes are required for PWM controlled solenoids).
WBO
Wideband oxygen sensor circuit was redesigned to support LSU 4.2 and LSU 4.9 Bosch sensors.
CAN BUS
EMU BLACK has built in CAN bus support (as well as separate serial communication) with software selectable 120Ohm terminator.
5V OUTPUTS
Regular EMU use the same internal voltage regulator for internal circuits and external sensors (+5V output). EMU BLACK introduces addition +5V regulator for 5V output. In addition to this there are two +5V output terminals for easier harness design.
FIXED 12V
EMU BLACK has new power scheme. The +12V is provided by fixed 12V input (it is used for powering the device and flyback circuit). The switched +12V is used to turn on and off the device.
ANALOG GROUNDS
EMU BLACK introduces 3 separate sensor ground terminals to allow easier harness design.
CONNECTORS
EMU BLACK uses 2 connectors (black and gray). The gray connector (24 ways) has the same pin layout as regular EMU. The black connector is replaced by 39 ways one. Due to smart pin layout it is very easy to repin regular EMU black connector to the new one.
SOFTWARE
EMU BLACK software is improved over the regular EMU. The configuration tree has now additional hierarchy level what makes navigation easier.

Who you are buying from
You are buying from a drift team, not a warehouse.
Our founder competes himself in his own drift E46. Our team build and race the same platforms you drive and work on, and our sponsored drivers chase championships on the same parts we sell worldwide.
01
We have already broken it for you.
Our founder, a full team of sponsored drivers, and hundreds of other drivers worldwide are out competing on this stuff in drift and rally. When we tell you a part is good, the part is good. It has already been put to the test.

“After trying a few better known brands such as Tilton and Extreme, and never being super happy... Conor was able to recommend me the perfect clutch for my application... I havn't broken any drivetrain parts since I installed it.”

Tell us the car. We will spec it.
Chassis codes, spring rates, angle kit clearances, clutch ratings. Send us the car and what you want it to do. The answer comes from someone who has run that setup, not someone reading a product sheet.

Ordered before 1pm, fitted this weekend.
In-stock parts ordered before 1pm are dispatched the same day. UK and Ireland typically arrive next morning, worldwide as quick as three days. Times do vary, but that can mean the part is on the car within a few days and she is back out blasting the roads by the weekend.

Straight answers
The questions you were about to open a chat about.
How do I know it will fit my car?
Send us your chassis code or your reg in the chat and we will confirm before you spend anything. If you order and it turns out to be the wrong part, we swap it.
“Had a mix up with the item description (order wrong part) they was quick to email me and see what part I was meant to order and substituted it for no extra cost!”
Bradley Page, verified customer, 31 Jan 2025
When will it actually arrive?
In stock and ordered before 1pm, it leaves the same day. UK and Ireland is usually next day, occasionally 1 to 3 days. Europe 1 to 5 days, rest of world 3 to 5 days on express.
If something is not in stock, we will email you right away with an ETA and any available substitutes. On the rare occasion it does not work out, we will happily refund your order.
Will I get stung for customs or import VAT?
No. The price you pay on our website is what it will cost to be delivered to your door. You will not receive any surprise surcharges after ordering.
What if I change my mind?
30 days on all stock items, full refund on the parts. If you ordered the wrong thing we will help you get to the right one for as little money as possible. We have been there.
What warranty do I get?
Everything on our website is covered by the standard manufacturer's warranty.
If you ever need to claim, we fight your corner. We will do everything in our power to make sure you are looked after, rather than leaving you to argue with a manufacturer on your own.
Can I pay it off over a few months?
Yes. Klarna and Shop Pay Finance are both at checkout, so you can spread it without putting the build on hold.
Can I just ask someone what to buy?
That is the bit we are actually good at. We run our own race team and workshop, so you are talking to someone who has fitted it, broken it, and fitted it again. Hit the chat and tell us what the car is doing and what you want it to do.
