My project is to turbocharge a BMW E30 325i M20 engine.
A nice link for instaling VEMS on a BMW E30: http://savarturbo.se/~mattias/motor/vems_bmw_e30/
Engine specs:
- cyl count=6
- main trigger= 60-2 on crank http://www.vems.hu/wiki/index.php?page=MembersPage%2FGergelyLezsak%2FTrigger
- stock internals
- T3/T4 turbo 50 A/R Compressor, 0.63 A/R Turbine .57 Trim 3" inlet stage 3 wheel
- Oil cooling on pistons http://www.e30tech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5223
- Intercooler will be as big as possible
- Lime green 440 cc bosch high imp petrol injectors
- Yellow LPG injectors from Keihin low imp.
- Prins evapouriser
- Techedge WB02 display + logger
Progress
- The engine is in the car. Next on the to do list is to built a wire loom and some other stuff.

EGT
My GenBoard (preassembled serialNr=355 and 356) has two EGT cables connected to the board, at nearby locations.
You can connect two EGT sensors. MegaTune will log both mcp3208channel4 and mcp3208channel3 (raw values). However, only mcp3208channel4 is displayed on LCD page0 (mlp00).
Raw values mean that the
- real_celsius_value = egt1_offs + (raw_value * egt1_cal / 256) where typical values:
- egt1_offs=00
- egt1_cal=49 (that is decimal 73)
Peak and Hold
set the PWM % and how long the peak should last (typically 1.0 ms).
Fuses
These are commonly used :
| Current consumer | Fuse rate | 'Description/Comment |
| VEMS Genboard | 3A | It actually draws a couple of hundre mA, but this is the smallest automotive fuse commonly found in gas stations |
| Lambda | 5A | |
| Injectors | 10A | This could be the main fuse, and a separate 3A fuse for each injector for safety if you get a short in an injector you could fry the driver with only one main fuse |
| Ignition coil | 10A | Possibly even higher, depending on the coil primary resistance |
New Questions
MegaTune is a software to change / tune config/table values in VEMS controller:
- How is a cam trigger supported?
- How can I select full sequential injection?
- alternate=... (cylcount - 1)
- injection sequence h[0]= ...
- See GenBoard/Manual/DigitalOut, GenBoard/Manual/DigitalOut/Table,
