Terminator X Max is a self-learning Holley EFI engine management kit for domestic V8 engines, such as conventional pushrod Chevrolet and Chrysler engines. It replaces a factory or junkyard controller with real-time fuel learn, high-impedance injector drivers and Holley EFI tuning software. This version is configured for an EV1 injector harness and drive-by-wire throttle body control. A 3.5 in. touchscreen handheld with a calibration wizard is included for setup, tuning and gauge display.
Key Features:
- Built for domestic V8 engines, such as conventional pushrod Chevrolet and Chrysler engines
- Real-time fuel map learning builds and refines the base fuel table
- High-impedance injector drivers run most stock injectors and Holley EFI injectors; low-impedance injectors are not supported
- Bosch LSU 4.9 wideband oxygen sensor control for accurate AFR readings and closed-loop tuning
- Built-in 1-bar MAP sensor suited to naturally aspirated or nitrous combinations
- For boosted use, the internal MAP sensor can be disabled and an external MAP sensor connected to the pre-terminated harness connector
- 4 programmable inputs (12V, ground, 5V, frequency) and 4 outputs (ground, PWM) for sensors, fans, boost and nitrous control, IAC kits and more
- Boost control by time, gear, RPM or speed, with boost safeties
- Single-channel wet or dry nitrous control, progressive or non-progressive, with rich/lean safeties and closed-loop AFR target
- Advanced 1D and 2D custom tables, including per-gear tables, for uses such as a flex fuel offset or a fuel or oil pressure safety
- On-board diagnostic LEDs for ECU power, engine run, wideband status, TPS calibration, crank signal and cam signal
- 3.5 in. touchscreen handheld with calibration wizard, internal data logging and customizable gauge display
- Plug-and-play ignition capability with Holley Dual Sync and HyperSpark distributors (HyperSpark requires adapter 558-323)
