For the last few years, Moroso Performance Products has been rolling out a constant stream of new hard parts. Oil pans, valve covers, oil separators, water pumps, and other pieces along those lines. All fine products that hold up the legacy of a company that has long been a staple of the high performance industry. The world found out at PRI that the Moroso team has been hard at work on a possible image changing new product for the last couple of years and they’re finally ready to share it. Essentially, what Moroso has done is to create an integrated vehicle control system that is capable of managing several vehicular functions along with data logging, creating fail safes for racers, adding safety to race cars, and generally allowing racers more finite control over their cars than has been possible to this point. On the surface it has a few similar functions and options as Racepak’s SmartWire, which we are very familiar with,  but we’d have to have them together to see how the Moroso stacks up.

Moroso is calling it the “Electronic Switch Panel” and there’s nothing untrue about that name, but we think it may be selling the product short. It’s an integrated programmable fuse panel that allows you to control circuits via programming. Imagine being able to tell your car when to turn the water pump and fan on via temperature and then also being able to tell it how long you want both of those things to run before they shut off after a run. That’s the kind of functionality that is a reality with the Moroso ESP. A racer could hit the pump switch on the way to the staging lanes and it wouldn’t come on until the programmed temp. Or if you are running a nitrous car and have the ability to program a fuel pressure shut off that would kill the motor if it saw a loss of fuel pressure so you didn’t liquify a block with spray and no fuel.

We were given a run through of the software and hardware by Moroso’s Scott Hall and he showed us many of the system’s abilities. With more than 10 channels of control available and easy to use software that allows the user to set his or her safety parameters, we can see this product being useful for sportsman drag racers.

There has been three years of work leading to this point for Moroso and it shows. Moroso will soon be releasing more information for you to learn about the ESP, but the photos below will give you some idea of what the ESP is capable of doing. This is a unique and innovative product from a company clearly trying to think differently than most.
