Summary of change:
'''I want to turbocharge my BMW 518i E28 M10 engine by using VEMS''' ---- '''Trigger secion''' ... describe the available trigger signals (links are OK too) * I still have some questions about the ignition setup possibility with my L-jetronic? ** I doubt that you would want to use the L-jetronic for ignition. The following (related to L-jetronic) might be useful: *** '''connector''' (if going with PlugAndPlay setup instead of Econoseal connectors). The econoseal-connector based install looks much cleaner (avoiding wire jungle, and less work), and generally recommended over the plug and pray way. *** '''wiring - whatiswhat'''. see PlugAndPlayJetronic, it saves some time with the wiring (not only for PlugAndPlay but for the econoseal install as well). Try to find other sources and measure yourself too for verification. *** trigger signal (from the engine, actually, not the L-jetronic) *** tables: OnlineCourse/AlienIgnitionLogging is theoretically possible, but requires more experience or experimentation than the rest of the install. I think better tables can be found faster from the web, maybe from others from MembersPage. '''Current plan for Ignition''' I keep the distributor, lock plate in the distributor and rotate so that the inductive pickup triggers 50-60° before TDC, remove vacuum hose. Q: Will this signal be controlled by an ignition IGBT and fire the coil by another ignition IGBT? A: The input from the distributor trigger is sent to trigger input #1 in the EC36 connector. The ECU then timing advance and fires the coil using one IGBT, also in the EC36 connector. Changed plan: I keep distributor only for distribution. I use Hall sensor on crank as a trigger input for the VEMS. Q: So actually I have to lock the plate in the distributor and remove the vacuumline in order to lock the vacuumadvance and let the distributor only distributes the spark? Q: Do I need a triggerwheel or can I just bolt on two magnets 180° separate on the standardcrankwheel? ---- ITEMS TO BUY: * genboard v3.3 * injector FET 6x * WBO2 FET 1x * ignition IGBT 5x * mapsensor 2.5 bar * idle stepper moter driver * econoseal PCB connector 36 + 18 * econoseal harness 36 + 18 * CNC case * LCD * tempsensors 2x * WBO2 connector + sensor I recommend buying a pre-assembled Genboard to avoid this part of the project, but in case you feel confident with electronics and like the idea of saving some money - then go ahead. I would advice you to fully populate the board with as many fuel injector FETs and ignition IGBTs as you can afford - they can be used for a lot of other things and the minium I'd recommend is 6xFET + 5xIGBT. That allows you to run a direct-fire (distributorless) setup in the future. ---- Q: What about TPS? Should I look for a TPS with WOT switch and potentiometer? A: A true potentiometer type TPS is recommended for full use and control. A WOT switch is not much use, it can be used to raise boost target with BoostControl. In MegaTune you configure and calibrate the maximum and minimum TPS values (idle and WOT). You can also set the idle threshold value (1-2%). Only in some cases do you really need to know the exact position of the throttle plate. You can use a resistor grid with the stock "on/off" TPS, to make three distinct positions/resistance values (idle, in between, WOT). It has worked really well on this car: MembersPage/MattiasSandgren/BmwSevenTwentyEight The basic idea is to connect the TPS In (EC36-1) to a pullup resistor towards +5V (EC36-28) and a pulldown resistor towards GND. The pullup resistor is shorted by the WOT switch (raising TPS In to +5V) and the pulldown grounds the signal. To protect from a short (should never happen), connect a resistor between GND and the pullup resistor and Idle-switch so that there is a minium resistance to be met between +5V and GND at all times. Use 1K resistors, or similar size. I'll make a pretty drawing if/when I have time. ---- * How will I control coldstart issues? ** afterstart enrichment. Afterstart enrichment has a cold value (config.awev=1D for +29% at -40C) and a scaler (config.awev_temp_scaling=A0 for 160/256 * awev) so it's downscaled at high temps (above 71C) ** warmup enrichment ** To avoid having too much air enter the engine when it has warmed up, get a bipolar stepper valve or an idle air solenoid from a Motronic car and do like this: MembersPage/GergelyLezsak/IdleControl (it's still an experimental setup, isn't it?)
