Elite 1500 ECU HT-150900

The 1500 is where the Elite platform stops being an entry ECU. It's a two-connector unit with drive-by-wire throttle control, independent control of up to four camshafts, knock control, and dual CAN — which covers the late-model four-cylinder that the 750 can't touch.

The practical dividing line: if the engine has an electronic throttle body or dual VVT, this is your minimum. Add anti-lag, rolling anti-lag, launch control, and traction control on top, and it's a complete race package rather than an engine controller with extras bolted on.

Four fuel and four ignition outputs, so it's a four-cylinder or two-rotor ECU — a six or eight cylinder needs a 2500. Twenty digital outputs and ten analog inputs give you real room for sensors and auxiliary control. IP67 sealed case.

Includes the ECU with DBW and race functions, USB programming cable, and software. Available bare, with a terminated engine harness, or as a platform-specific plug-and-play kit.
