History

2007 – Founding of Syvecs LTD

Syvecs LTD was founded in 2007 with the mission of delivering cutting-edge engine management and vehicle control solutions for motorsport, performance, and bespoke OEM applications. From its inception, Syvecs focused on precision, reliability, and integration.

2009 – Launch of the S6 ECU

Syvecs released its first engine control unit, the S6 ECU, initially applied on Subaru Impreza models. Designed for road cars and motorsport, it supported full sequential fuel and ignition control, knock control, traction control, als with modular expansion for a range of applications. The S6 quickly became a staple in performance tuning and motorsport.

2010 – Plug-and-Play Kit Expansion

To simplify installation for enthusiasts and tuners, Syvecs launched Plug-and-Play (PnP) kits for the S6 platform, enabling direct replacement of OEM ECUs in select vehicles. Early applications included the Subaru Impreza, Mitsubishi Evolution, Toyota Mr2, Toyota Supra and many more, helping users unlock advanced features without rewiring.

2011 – Launch of the S8 ECU

The S8 ECU was introduced as Syvecs’ high-end control unit, supporting more I/O, CAN communications, and advanced tuning features. Ideal for V8 and V10 applications, it became the choice for professional motorsport teams and complex builds requiring more processing power and integration.

2012 – R35 GTR S8 Kit & CAN Bridge Integration

In 2012, Syvecs released a full integration kit for the Nissan R35 GTR, built around the S8 ECU and a proprietary CAN Bridge module. This allowed the Can Bridge to manage complex CAN communications with OEM systems—enabling full control over engine, transmission, AWD, dash, and more—while preserving OEM functionality. This set a new benchmark for high-performance ECU integration.

2014 – Syvecs S12 ECU

The S12 ECU launched in 2014 as Syvecs’ most powerful unit, designed for high-end applications like V12 engines, Le Mans prototypes, and complex military builds. It offered maximum I/O, superior processing, and advanced data logging capabilities. With the launch of the S12 ECU came many new plug in kits for the Audi R8, Lamborghini Gallardo and other large engines.

2015 – Introduction of the S6Plus ECU

The S6Plus ECU was launched as an upgrade to the S6, with added processing capabilities and a dedicated third processor for integration tasks. This made it ideal for OEM-style retrofits, where managing body systems or non-engine functions was essential. As well as using the S6Plus for Plug in kits, it was used in many custom application for special projects.

2016 – R8 and Huracan Plug in kit

This kit replaced the two OEM ECUs with a single Syvecs S12 ECU, offering advanced engine management features such as live tuning, adjustable launch control, flex-fuel support, and comprehensive data logging capabilities. It integrates seamlessly with the Huracan’s systems, providing enhanced performance and tenability

2017 – Syvecs DI12 Module

The DI12 Module was initially introduced in 2017 as a dedicated 12-channel digital input expander. It enabled users to significantly increase digital input capacity on their existing Syvecs ECU system via CAN—ideal for motorsport builds requiring high-density signal acquisition, such as multiple switches, wheel speed sensors, or user controls.

In 2023, Syvecs released a major firmware and software update that added fully configurable input logic, allowing users to tailor each input’s behavior directly from the calibration software. This upgrade made the DI12 even more versatile and cemented its role as a core module in modular Syvecs system architecture.

2018 – Lamborghini Aventador – OEM ECU Expansion Project

In collaboration with Wayne Potts and Ryan Griffiths, Syvecs developed a piggyback control solution for the Lamborghini Aventador using the S6GPPlus ECU. This project enabled expanded control over fuel injectors, boost, and flex-fuel operation—while retaining full operation of the OEM ECUs.

Ryan Griffiths developed custom firmware to extend injector control, synchronize with the OEM crank and cam sensor data, and enable custom CAN messaging between the Syvecs and factory ECU. This allowed the Syvecs ECU to interpret fuel demands and torque reduction requests from the OEM system, while also sending feedback over CAN to maintain OEM ECU compliance. The system enabled seamless integration of twin turbochargers, with Syvecs managing the additional components.

This collaboration laid the groundwork for future piggyback ECU architectures and directly inspired the development of the Syvecs OEX module.

2019 – Launch of the S7 ECU Platform and Plug in ECU’s

In 2019, Syvecs released the new powerful S7Plus ECU alone with many new plug in kits

    • Nissan Patrol Y61 Super Safari

    • Volkwagon Mk7 Golf

    • Audi TTRS and RS3 (DAZA and DNWA engines)

The S7 ECU series debuted as the successor to the S6, with major enhancements:

    • Dual NTK, Bosch, and Denso lambda support

    • 32–64MB internal logging memory

    • Bipolar sensor inputs

    • Multiple CAN buses

    • OBD-II support and wake-on-CAN features It delivered OEM-level integration with motorsport-grade flexibility.


2020 – Water/Methanol Injection Controller

Syvecs introduced a standalone water/methanol controller, The Syvecs WMI (Water/Methanol Injection) Standalone Controller is a compact yet highly capable unit designed to safely manage a complete WMI system. Engineered for seamless integration, it can communicate with OEM or aftermarket ECUs via CANbus using just two wires—eliminating the need for a Syvecs Engine ECU.

Once connected, the controller can receive critical engine parameters (such as RPM, load, and injector duty) over CAN, which are then used to execute precise injection strategies and safety overrides. This ensures intelligent WMI operation based on real-time engine conditions.

For vehicles without CAN support, the controller also offers analog pickup options for RPM and injector duty cycle directly from the engine harness.

Additional safety and performance inputs are supported via external sensors, including:

    • Level sensor for reservoir monitoring

    • Flow sensor to verify delivery

    • Pressure sensor to confirm system operation

With its modular design and robust feature set, the Syvecs WMI controller delivers OEM-level safety, flexibility, and control to any WMI-equipped vehicle.

2021 – Syvecs AWD Controllers

The Syvecs Generic AWD Controller and Plug in AWD units are compact and powerful unitd for controlling 4WD/AWD systems in OEM and motorsport applications.

Designed to integrate into any vehicle via the use of a configurable CANbus communications system.  Users are able to receive real-time data from the OEM/Aftermartket systems and uses this data for operational and monitoring strategies, resulting in a precise and accurate control of AWD/4WD control systems.

Additional sensors can also be connected to the controller to provide further functionality and safety such as Awd Temperature, Awd Pressure, Axle Speeds and more.

2021 – GPS/IMU Modules

To enhance vehicle dynamics strategies, Syvecs released the 50Hz GPS Module, a high-speed, motorsport-grade positioning system designed to deliver extremely accurate and responsive location data for advanced vehicle control and logging. Operating at 100Hz, it provides real-time updates 100 times per second—ideal for applications requiring precision such as traction control, launch strategy, lap timing, and data analysis.

These expanders provided significantly enhanced flexibility and capability for custom vehicle control setups. Syvecs launched its own solid-state PDUs, offering programmable power control, current monitoring, and CAN integration with Syvecs ECUs. These replaced fuses and relays, giving builders greater flexibility and reliability.

2023 – GPS/IMU Module 100hz Update

In 2023, the GPS module was upgraded from 50Hz to 100Hz. With the requirements of even faster and more accurate ground speed data in advanced automotive applications, the upgrade provided significantly faster speed reporting and improved logic during periods of satellite signal dropout. This enhancement improved lap timing resolution, ground speed accuracy, and dynamic response across motorsport applications.

2023 – OEX (OEM ECU eXpander): Inspired by Aventador Development

The OEX module was introduced to expand the capabilities of vehicles retaining the OEM ECU. It stemmed directly from the 2018 Aventador project and allows auxiliary sensors, actuators, and control strategies to be added via CAN communication—without removing the stock ECU. It has since been adopted across OEM development, motorsport, and defense projects.

Key Features:

    • CAN Integration with OEM ECUs or Control Module: The OEX reads OEM CAN messages and injects additional control signals and data without disrupting factory logic.
