Summary of change:
Hello Everyone, Im a new member based in Austin Tx. Im also new to wiki page editing so bear with me for a while. VEMs attracted me because it had integrated ignition control. I soon realized though that it was far more capable than any other system in a working mans price range that Ive ever seen. Here is a short description of the project I have in mind. The target is a 1988 Alfa Romeo Milano 3.0 v6. This is a Bosch L-jet overhead cam 2 valve per cylinder 60 degree alloy v6 with removeable (wet) cylinder sleeves. The combustion chamber shape is very good for a 2 valve design as are the ports. This engine has somewhat restricted intake design since its shared with its smaller 2.5l sibling so Im strongly considering a rework of the intake to go along with the VEMs installation. A big project for sure. Some VEMs features Id like to include initially: EGT (are two possible ?) WB02 Coil on Plug (6) Offboard MAP sensor. Crank and Cam VR pickups Q. A new software feature Id like to see is a '''Temperature based Rev Limiter''' . On motors with light flywheels this can protect the engine while cold. How feasable would this be to implement? Q. ''' What about VEMs and ITB ?''' Ive heard ITBs sometimes need multiple maps based on throttle position but have no experience with this. How do you accurately montitor MAP/MAT? Q. I did a CVS checkout of the firmware and did a test build on a linux platform as an excercise. Looks like the compile worked ok (gcc-avr) but in the boot subdir make fails because ioinit.c is missing. Is CVS the wrong way to retrieve firmware source? -Tom.
