Recreational vehicle two-stroke engine control systems configured for location-based modification of an engine calibration may include a locator device, a throttle position sensor, and an engine speed sensor communicatively coupled to an engine control unit. The engine control unit controls a position of an exhaust valve based on a first calibration map and an input from the sensors. The engine control unit also determines, based on a location of the vehicle, a second calibration map. The engine control unit controls a position of an exhaust valve based on a second calibration map and an input from the sensors. Controlling the two-stroke engine to operate the exhaust valve at the second exhaust valve position may improve the engine run-quality, performance, efficiency, or the like.

Location-based modification of two-stroke engine calibration

Systems and methods for starting and restarting an engine of a vehicle are disclosed. Power systems for an engine are disclosed.

Systems and methods for engine start

A method and system for controlling operation of a two-stroke engine having a turbocharger includes the two-stroke engine comprising an electronically controlled exhaust valve. A throttle position sensor generates a throttle position signal corresponding to a position of a throttle plate of a throttle. A boost box is coupled to the two-stroke engine. A boost box pressure sensor is coupled to the boost box and generates a boost box pressure signal corresponding to a pressure within the boost box. A controller is coupled to the boost box pressure signal controlling a position of the electronically controlled exhaust valve in response to the boost box pressure signal and the throttle position signal.

A method and system for operating a two-stroke engine includes a fuel system comprising a fuel pressure sensor, fuel temperature sensor and a fuel injector and a controller in communication with the fuel pressure sensor and fuel temperature sensor. The controller controls the fuel injector with a fuel pulsewidth determined by determining a beginning time of a window for measuring fuel pressure, determining an ending time of the window, measuring fuel pressure between the beginning time and the ending time, determining a fuel pulsewidth based on the fuel pressure and fuel temperature and injecting fuel into the two-stroke engine in response to a desired fuel mass.

A system and method of operating the same includes an engine speed sensor determining an engine speed, an exhaust gas bypass valve, an exhaust gas bypass valve actuator coupled to the exhaust gas bypass valve and a controller. The controller partially opens the exhaust gas bypass valve with a first predetermined effective area greater than fully closed when the engine speed is at idle. The controller determines an acceleration event, holding the exhaust gas bypass valve open at least a second predetermined effective area greater than fully closed in response to the acceleration event.

A system and method for operating an engine comprises an engine speed sensor generating an engine speed signal, a throttle position sensor generating a throttle position signal, a sensor module comprising at least one of a fuel pressure sensor generating a fuel pressure signal corresponding to a fuel pressure and a fuel temperature sensor generating a fuel temperature signal corresponding to a fuel temperature into the engine. A controller is coupled to the fuel injector, the engine speed sensor and the sensor module. The controller determines a pulse width duration for the fuel injector based on engine speed and throttle position, determining a pulse width correction factor as a function of at least one of the fuel temperature signal and the fuel pressure signal, determining a second pulse width duration based on the first pulse width, and operating the fuel injector with the second pulse width duration.

Method and system for controlling an engine

A system and method of controlling a turbocharged engine system includes receiving a boost mode selection signal and controlling the turbocharged engine system in response to the boost mode selection signal.

A system for starting an engine of a vehicle has a fuel injector injecting fuel into a closed intake port to form an air fuel mixture. The system also includes an actuator rotating a crankshaft in a first direction to open the intake port by moving a piston within a cylinder coupled to the crankshaft. A combustion chamber defines between the cylinder and the port receiving the air fuel mixture through the intake port. The actuator rotates the crankshaft in a second direction to close the intake port. A spark plug ignites the air fuel mixture to start the engine. The engine also includes many other disclosed features.

Battery key, starter and improved crank

A two cycle engine having a block defining an exhaust port and a cylinder, a head, and a piston defining a combustion chamber is disclosed. The exhaust port has a resonant frequency that causes a portion of the combusted and uncombusted exhaust gasses to flow from the exhaust system and back into the combustion chamber. At a speed above the predetermined speed, a majority of the portion of the combusted and uncombusted exhaust gasses flows from the exhaust system and back into the combustion chamber without engaging the skirt of the piston.

Exhaust-tuning port and timing and combustion chamber shape

A method and system for operating an engine includes operating the engine with a first plurality of parameters associated with a first fuel type, comparing a detonation signal a first to a first voltage threshold, forming a plurality of vectors by storing detonation signal values that exceed the first voltage threshold, in vectors as vector values wherein later in time vectors include previous vector values, summing vector values for each vector to form a plurality of sum values and when one of the plurality of sums values exceeds a sum threshold, changing an engine controller to operate with a second plurality of parameters associated with a second fuel type.
