LPG/CNG Controller ALEX Pico OBD Ready

ALEX OPTIMA PICO OBD READY is an innovative ECU designed for 3- and 4-cylinder engines with indirect injection. It is the ideal choice for those seeking a reliable engine management unit at a reasonable price.

The product is based on the experience gained from the development of the reliable ALEX OPTIMA NANO and ALEX OPTIMA EXPERT ECUs. The use of innovative solutions has allowed the creation of a compact device, making installation easier even in the tightest engine compartments.

The ECU includes all the necessary tools for converting vehicles to LPG/CNG.
The simple and intuitive software, already known from other models in the OPTIMA range, enables rapid calibration, while the reduced number of connections ensures minimal interference with the original engine system.The reduced communication wiring allows quick installation.

Connection of the RPM signal and ignition-switched positive is optional.
OBD communication (with ELM interface) allows installers to acquire correction maps, injection timing maps relative to engine speed and manifold pressure, and perform precise
adjustments of injection timing, engine speed, manifold pressure, temperature, and gas
pressure.
