Brazilian ECU for Harley and custom V-twins.

// Performance V-twin

A complete programmable engine management system — ECU, digital dashboard, app and cloud — built from the ground up for Harley and custom V-twin engines. Built in Brazil, dialed in for the strip. Not for sale yet: join the waitlist to secure priority on the first batch.

// The market gap

Harley/V-twin tuning has two poorly served extremes.

On one side, flashers and piggybacks locked to the stock ECM. On the other, generic standalone ECUs built for cars, where the V-twin is a second-class citizen. Pistonix is born in the middle: standalone depth, vertical V-twin focus, and local support in Portuguese.

Flashers / piggyback

Limited by the stock ECM

Power Vision, Fuelpak, TTS Mastertune. They tweak whatever the stock Delphi ECM allows — no dedicated display, no deep control of custom turbo or nitrous setups.

Generic standalone

Built for cars

FuelTech, Haltech, Link, MoTeC. Powerful, but the V-twin is the exception: no Harley-specific support, no curated basemaps, no Brazilian community around it.

Pistonix

Vertical V-twin standalone

Sequential fuel and ignition, boost and nitrous control, cluster integration, ready-made basemaps for Twin Cam, Sportster, M8 and custom builds — and support in Portuguese.

// The complete system

Not just an ECU. A system.

Five pieces that talk to each other: the ECU runs the engine, the Dash shows it on the bike, Ride takes it to your phone, the Tuner calibrates on PC and Garage stores everything in the cloud. Shared types end to end — what the firmware computes, the app sees.

Programmable ECU

Sequential fuel and ignition, asymmetric 45° V-twin timing solved in firmware, closed-loop AFR with wideband, boost control, internal datalogger and a robust limp mode. STM32 Cortex-M7, firmware in Rust.

Pistonix Dash

4" capacitive touch digital cluster, boot in under 1 second, configurable gauges, critical alerts and Street/Track/Race modes. Talks to the ECU over CAN bus at 500kbps.

Pistonix Ride

iOS and Android app: live gauges over BLE, GPS race telemetry, push alerts and one-tap map switching. No subscription — use it as long as you own Pistonix hardware.

Pistonix Tuner

Desktop tuning software (Windows, macOS, Linux). 2D/3D map editor, datalog viewer with overlays and firmware flashing over a USB cable. Same calculation core as the firmware.

Pistonix Garage

A backend that keeps versioned tune backups, distributes per-engine basemaps, ingests post-session telemetry and enables OTA + remote support. Hosted in Brazil (LGPD).

Curated basemaps

Ready-made tunes for common setups — stock, slip-on, big-bore and basic turbo — starting with Twin Cam, with Sportster, M8 and custom builds arriving in later waves.

// Product lineup

Three ECUs, from street to the quarter mile.

The lineup starts with the Forge (Twin Cam commercial pilot) and climbs to the Quarter, a race-only drag ECU. The figures below are pre-MVP estimate ranges, anchored to comparable products in the Brazilian V-twin aftermarket — not final prices. Formal pre-orders open once the Forge is validated on a real bike (Phase 7 of the roadmap).

Pistonix Forge

Base ECU

The entry point. Sequential fuel and ignition, closed-loop AFR, boost control and datalogger. Commercial pilot focused on Twin Cam 2004-2016, with Sportster, Evo and Shovelhead on the roadmap.

$900 – $1,160 (est.) Includes Tuner license + Garage access

Pistonix Apex

Expanded ECU

Top of the line. Ride-by-wire with redundant TPS, per-cylinder knock, 2-stage nitrous, water-methanol and flex fuel. HDLAN passthrough keeps the Milwaukee-Eight's stock cluster and ABS working.

$1,560 – $1,960 (est.) Milwaukee-Eight 2017+ and turbo builds

Pistonix Quarter

Drag ECU

The quarter-mile ECU. 4-stage launch control, anti-lag, adaptive two-step, traction control and internal 1kHz SD-card datalog. Race-only, no street compromises.

$1,900 – $2,500 (est.) Closed-course use · off-road waiver

Pistonix Dash

Hardware

4" capacitive touch digital cluster, < 1s boot, CNC aluminum IP65 housing and OTA via Garage. Works with any ECU that speaks the Pistonix CAN protocol.

$560 – $780 (est.) 4" IPS 480×480 display

Pistonix Tuner

Software

Desktop tuning software for Windows, macOS and Linux. Map editor, datalog viewer and firmware flashing. Lifetime license included with any ECU.

Included with the ECU Tune sync with Garage

Ride + Garage

App · Cloud

Mobile telemetry app and cloud backend with tune backup, basemap library and remote support. Permanent free plan for Pistonix hardware owners.

// Compatibility

Focused on the Harley V-twin.

Pistonix is vertical by design: 32-2 trigger, 45° geometry, asymmetric sequencing and engine-specific basemaps. Twin Cam is the commercial pilot; the other platforms arrive in waves as the firmware matures.
