Summary of change:
I've been looking around for a while for a DIY ECU and after reading up on MS i found VEMS and just looking at them both from a bachelor's in electronics point of view, the VEMS used technology is just that much more modern (smd, descent connectors instead of DB type, etc...) The ECU will have to run a standard stripped 1.8 zetec using GSX-R throttle bodies and all standard sensors(except for the lambda) in closed loop lambda as I have to meet emissions in Belgium. I also would like to run it in wasted spark sequencial injection mode. How well does the VEMS handle dwell timing for the ignition? Or can i better use a EDIS4? * MembersPage/PhatBob Don't run an EDIS-4 as we've got litteraly hundreds of installs runing the Ford EDIS coil pack from the IGBTs. We have configurable dwell time with scaled low voltage addition. My shopping list is currently as follows, but it would be nice if someone could confirm. 1x Genboard v3.3 3x clamping plate 1x Alubos EC frontplate 1x Alubos endplate 1x alubos gasket 1x alubos1600 1x econoseal18-PCB 1x econoseal36-PCB 1x econoseal18-Harness 1x econoseal36-Harness 1x Idle stepper motor driver (is this needed?) * MembersPage/PhatBob Its not essential, but it provides another 4 12v 1A output drivers. 4x Ignition driver 1x Ignition driver insulator sheet 8x injector/WBO2 heater driver 1x power flyback (is this the best option?) * MembersPage/PhatBob The best option is the 30V transient voltage suppression diode. 1x 250-400kPa MAP sensor * MembersPage/PhatBob 250kpa will be adiquate for you if you're running normally aspirated. 1x MAT sensor 1x Wideband connector 1x Wideband O2 sensor All this is supposed to run in a SSC [http://www.clubstylus.be/ Stylus] by february 2008 We've got one running on that very same car: http://vems.hu/www.vems.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=83.msg617#msg617 Check se7ensport's other emails for a pretty good walk-through of what he experienced going through the install.
