Summary of change:
Hello. My basic plan is to convert a mechanical injection/timing IDI Jetta in to an electronic IDI, using possibly v3.3. NOTE: I am very, very new to this, so please explain all tech. comments well. I am a quick learner though. Work in IT, programmer etc. Also I am not looking for people to hand feed me, if you can point me in the direction to read something I am all for it, and I will be reading the wiki lots so I may answer some of my own questions. VW Jetta 90 1.6l IDI (Indirect injection) The project will need very accurate crank position information for fuel injection. * how accurate ? In usec ? Also no spark plugs, coils, or throttle bodies are needed. What I will need is: #Hall/VR crank pos. setup #Throttle pos. sensor #3 BAR MAP #EGT (already have sensor) #Boost controller for Variable Vain Turbo #Looking to replace dash with the LCD unit to display all engine stats, if possible – more reading needed Questions I have: Is this Feasible? Can VEMS handle dynamic advange? (Sounds like it can). * maybe. It's mostly a software task. If you can do some prototype coding on PC. Define inputs (like TPS throttle-pedal sensor), make a simple engine model and feedback loop. Than we can set up cooperation paths and goals, and send you sufficient HW (with good conditions ;-) Join ChatViaIrc, for some direct talk/team integration. Due to the fact that I will not be useing cycles for Spark Charging/timeing only injector timeing, can I use a more advanced timing setup? Can the VEMS handle a higher resolution on the crank? i.e. 2 deg. count for injection timing ** 2 degrees should be possible If I created a board that produced a hex number, could this be read by VEMS? (http://www.automotivedesignline.com/howto/197001808) * currently we only have 2 dedicated trigger inputs. ** maybe 1 input for timing + a serial port for extra info is better ? I have read quite a bit now in the Wiki, and still have found very little on how the crank trigger actually works, at least any "clear" documentation. From my understanding, the missing tooth triggers an event that causes the ECU to send fuel then spark to cylinder X. Can some one clear this up? Firing order, 1-3-2-4. Thanks Brad
