FUNCTIONALITY

Trionic monitors ionization rates at each spark plug to individually control and adjust the combustion process for each cylinder. This involves about two million calculations per second.

Other primary functions are:
  • Ignition timing

  • Fuel injection

  • Turbo boost pressure

  • Air mass measurement

  • Throttle


Trionic 8 also tries to guess how much power the driver wants as early as possible to avoid turbo kick or lag therefore making driving smooth.
