Visit Preferences to set your user name Summary of change: Overview: Car is a 1979 Volvo 242 with a 1995 Volvo 850 Turbo engine (B5234T). Some details on the car: * Inline 5-cyl., 2.3l, turbocharged (TD04H-15G), 4 valves per cylinder. The engine is essentially stock, save for a new (OE Volvo) intake manifold and 350cc injectors. At 15psi on the current setup I flow fuel for approximately 250bhp. * VEMS 3.3 will replace the current setup of: MSnS-E 029y4 on a V3 PCB with sequential COP, batch fire injection, boost control, fan control, tacho output, two-step, and a Just Another Wideband (JAW). http://www.vems.hu/files/MembersPage/KarlBuchka/242-beach.jpg **VEMS Setup:** Apart from the standard sensors (MAP, CLT, IAT, TPS), I'm planning on setting up the VEMS with the following major functions: * Sequential coil on plug * Sequential injection * Single channel wideband and EGT * Dual channel knocksense * Fan control, boost control, two-step, tacho output, shift-light, 20x4 LCD **Trigger settings:** The engine comes from the factory with a 60-2 wheel/VR sensor on the crank and a single tooth wheel/hall sensor on the cam. **Goals:** My initial goal with this install is to overcome the limitations of Megasquirt (some of which I have reached, others not), putting me in a much better position to take the car to the next level. **Shopping cart:** I have put together a list of items to be ordered from the VEMS Webshop. Ideas, comments, or suggestions are welcome. * GenBoard v3.3 * Injector or WBO2 heater driver (6) * Ignition driver (2, running ignition in 2+6 configuration, see Spark page) * Power Flyback - With wire * Dual channel knock sensor interface (do I need this, or is it included on the board already?) * 250-400 kPa MAP sensor - MAP connection 400kPa bare - Supply 5V (webshop is somewhat unclear, is this the correct map sensor?) * Alubos1600 * Alubos gasket * Alubos Endplate * Alubos EC frontplate * Econoseal18-PCB * Econoseal36-PCB * Econoseal18-harness * Econoseal36-harness * Wideband connector - With crimped wires I have decided to purchase the un-assembled GenBoard for a few reasons: I'm doing this as much for the learning experience as for the VEMS feature-set. If I wanted a 'plug-and-play' system I would buy a Haltech or Motec. A much more minor motivator is the lower price. I will be purchasing power resistors and an LCD seperately, as I can find both for much lower price locally. **Sections:** (most of these are incomplete, will continue to add info and break into sections as time permits) x Crank and cam sensors/settings The crank setup is a 60-2 trigger wheel built in to the flywheel using a VR sensor. Cam setup is single tooth wheel using a Hall sensor. x Sensors and inputs x Fuel (Injectors, VE, lambda, enrichments) I have still not purchased new injectors, but as of writing I am looking at Delphi Multec 1 95 lb/hr injectors (~1030cc). Currently trying to find a detailed spec sheet, but with little luck. Here is what I know (from http://www.racetronix.com/17113744FM.html): Static Flow Rate @ 43.5PSI (300 KPa) = 95.0 lb/hr / 12.0 gm/sec / 998 cc/min Dynamic Flow Rate @ 43.5PSI (300 KPa) 2.5ms pulse width and 10ms repetition rate = 2.2 gm/pulse Coil Resistance: 2 Ohms / Low Impedance / Low-Z (Peak/Hold injector drivers required) Factory Tollerance: +/-5% (actual +/-7%) Cone Spray Angle - 17.6 degrees - single spray cone. Approximate cone angle for 90% of spray volume Connector: Minitimer (Bosch EV1) Ball/Seat Design with 6-Hole Diffuser Disc Factory fitted with Viton upper and lower o-rings. I'd like to have some 'ballpark' figures for the following values. Any suggestions? * Inj. open time @ 13.2V - 1000us * Inj. effective rampup - ?us * injrampup_battfac - ?us * battfac - ?s * Injpwm DC - 38% **-http://www.vems.hu/wiki/index.php?page=GenBoard%2FManual%2FFlyback%2FCalculations **- Iinj * Rinj = VBatt * dcpercentage/100 - Uflyback * (1-dcpercentage/100) **- 1A * 2ohm = 14.5V * x - 5.5V * (1-x) -> 2 = 20 * x - 5.5 -> x = 7.5/20 = 0.375 * Injpwm peak time - ?ms * Divider - ? * Alternate banks from h[0] - 4..0 * Fire banks while cranking - ? The low-z injectors will require power resistors. As mentioned earlier, I can source them in almost any spec I want. I understand the resistors are used for current limiting, but how much current am I aiming for? A couple of quick calculations yields a 12ohm resistor for a current of 1A and 5ohm for 2A (both assuming 2ohm injector resistance and 14V supply). I calculated req_fuel to 2.89 using (6.49 * 2300[cc] / 5 / 1032[cc/min]). Is it worth it to halve this and double my VE values? As of now I plan to use my current Megasquirt fuel map (with values scaled) as a base map. x Spark (Coils, Spark advance) Coils are OE Volvo from an S80 T6. They have built-in power stages and are suspected to be internally identical to the Bosch Motorsport Single Fire PT coils, data-sheet here: http://www.vems.hu/files/MembersPage/KarlBuchka/Single_PT.zip Coil pin-out: 1 - Trigger 2 - Not Used 3 - Ground 4 - +12v The coils pull up to +5v to fire. Connectors/pigtails sourced directly from Volvo: The plastic connector itself is part number: 9456341 The +12v feed pigtail is part number: 30656689 (will need 5 of these) The ground and signal pigtails are part number: 30656688 (will need 10 of these) x Outputs/ancillaries Fan control, boost control, shift light, Optional: Add document to category: Wiki formatting: * is Bullet list ** Bullet list subentry ...
