My goal is to get my genboard ver. 3.2 running on my VW VR6 turbo GTI! I have a few questions and need some help from you guys.
- Using the Motorolla MAP sensor MPX4250ap will read 250 kPa absolute pressure. Since the ambient is appr 101 kPa, that is appr. 149 kPa boost. With boost-target > 130 kPa we recommend 400 kPa sensor.
- What is the best ignition pickup on my motor. There is a factory crankshaft position sensor and also a camshaft position sensor.
- timing from the crank is generally better because of cambelt sloppiness
- What gauge wire should I use in my harness?
- 0.5 mm2, except for some power connections, where 0.75mm2 or 1mm2 is a better idea.
- GND5 signals and +power to the injectors and ignition transformers come to mind.
- 0.5 mm2, except for some power connections, where 0.75mm2 or 1mm2 is a better idea.
Here is a list of the options I would like to use for the genboard. Select the right options in WebShop.
- knock sensing (TPIC8101 knock sensor interface chip)
- egt (AD597 chip and K-thermocouple (EGT sensor), probably K-thermo connectors too
No special HW is needed for these, only wiring-up and proper configuration:
- wideband
- boost controll (using nissan 300zx boost controller)
- Idle air controll.
- all types that I know are supported, except CAN-drive-by-wire throttle. But you could find out your type of valve to be sure.
- anyone want to add anything that might be of use?
fly by wire (drive by wire) throttle body. InTake/DriveByWireThrottle
Tough. Developers need the CAN-codes and the hardware to finish implementation. A Volvo throttle body (the type with the failing TPS appr after 40000km) is already available, so only the docs about used CAN-codes would be enough for that type.
If the throttle is operating in its native app, it is possible to capture the CAN-codes, but it might also be hard (it requires initialization, and there are several subsystems of the throttle, at least the TPS and the main actuator).
