O.I.F.T Major Project Goals:
1. Be inexpensive
2. Have complete, freely available documentation
3. Be reliable and expandable
4. Provide system advantages over other fuel control solutions
5. Provide expandable and useful tuning information

O.I.F.T Initial Functional Goals:
• Unlimited MAP sensor translation. By using a configurable piecewise linear MAP sensor re-mapping function, it should be possible to precisely control fuel management by only upgrading the fuel injectors. By using the stock Fuel Pressure Regulator and stock fuel pressures we will increase the design simplicity, reliability, and improve driveability.
• RPM-based fuel adjustment for tuning, similar to the VAFC but with more RPM points.
• IAT translation - modifying the IAT signal for certain conditions. This could be used to emulate a JR MAP controller for a 6psi kit with stock injectors and the JR FPR. Once the user upgraded to larger injectors, the MAP translation function could be updated to allow smooth idle and sufficient top-end fuel. The JR FPR would also be removed.
• TPS translation - modifying the TPS signal for certain conditions. This could be used to force the ECU into open-loop mode during positive manifold pressure (boost) conditions.
• Data dump - For rigorous tuning, it will be necessary to transmit high-resolution, high-frequency data for logging and analysis. The following signals should be digitally delivered across a high baud rate serial connection:
  1. Spark Timing Advance
  2. MAF / MAP Sensor Level
  3. Throttle Position
  4. Intake Temperature
  5. Oxygen Sensor Level

Once these goals have been realized, we will turn to the 'wish list' of extra goals which will provide extra functionality and advantages for owners of modified Import cars.

O.I.F.T Extra Functional Goals:
• Spark Timing translation. A boost-dependent timing retard function may be created to emulate a Jackson Racing Boost Timing Controller. RPM-based adjustments are also possible, to remove the ECU's timing retard at the VTEC engagement point and intake runner switching point.
• Knock Sensor Processing. Texas Instruments has an excellent article covering several signal processing approaches for analyzing knock sensor data, which is available here. The methods described in this application note may be used to provide a knock detection function for use in datalogging. A good amount of statistical analysis of the knock sensor and engine characteristics must be completed before this goal can be realized.
• Wideband O2 Sensor Interface. The possibilities of this are endless. Ultra-smooth and responsive tuning would certaintly be possible. Even some mad-science iterative self-tuning function is not completely outside of the realm of possibility. Imagine watching the HP curve go up over successive dyno runs as the controller learns the optimum tuning.
