Development Cycle
Implementation of Scion-Sprays engine management can be part of a new engine development program, or it can be engineered onto an existing engine design with minimal modification.
Scion-Sprays engine management systems are designed on a modular basis, with as much parts commonality as possible to reduce cost and speed the development cycle. The throttle body is usually tailored to fit the OEM’s requirement – typically we match the original carburetor or throttle body location and mounting points.
Scion-Sprays has an applications engineering team to support the engine OEMs throughout the development cycle.The Scion-Sprays product development process is based on the APQP model (Advanced Product Quality and control Plan).
The APQP process has 5 distinct phases:
- Plan and define program
- Product design and development
- Process design and development
- Product and process validation
- Feedback, assessment and corrective action
Development testing takes place both in customer and Scion-Sprays facilities. Final validation testing is normally the responsibility of the customer.
Mass production programmes start within 12-24 months, depending on the OEM and statutory validation programmes.
Scion-Sprays engine management systems are not marketed as aftermarket retro-fit products.
Service parts supply to engines which are installed with Scion-Sprays engine management will be supplied through the engine manufacturers’ own parts distribution network.
