Update

$2006 Challenge:

Were off and going. Running a 3.3 with Release 1.0.53

our msq file is

[Rushi's] old configs

Question regarding PulseWidthCalculation for full AlphaN.

The PulseWidth is calculated by the following equation \n

PW(ms) = req_fuel(ms) * load/100 * VE/100 * gammae/100

A little matlab snippet to figure out how the VE table entries correlated with time.

My value for the bin was 22-23\n

function output = VEtable(dummy)
%values taken from my log file
req_fuel = 12.5
rpm = 4621
rps = rpm./60
effrps = rps./2
effperiodms = 1./effrps.*1e3
gamma = .98
pw = 2.8
VEelementraw = pw./ ((req_fuel).*(gamma))
output = VEelementraw.*100
return

If the VEtable is configured (at WOT) well with what a dyno HP plot would look like, the VE table relates the of TPS% to air flow. For example if 1% throttle is 10% flow the VE table would reflect that.

I'll be posting some matlab code soon that takes RPM,HP, displacement, airtemp, and outputs various VE tables:

with some modifications we can also do the same for AirDensityControl maps as MAP is supposed to determine % throttle open with some non-linear effects already included.

Notes:

The config has full AlphaN

$2005 Challenge

Car not going this year. A multituide of last minute problems has conspired to prevent the two planned cars from attending.

Not really bad ignition switch, bad grounding of ignition module

Anyway plans are already underway for next year. And the cars/engines are partially built.

Physical Setups

VEMS needs/checklist

STICKERS !

STICKERS !!

Hardware

  • *Knock setup for using stock VW sensor for a 2.0L [PL] block

Software/ configuration

Assuming that all my needs are already implemented in firmware setups Please correct if not done..

Current firmware version you want me to run

Turbo VEMS v3.1

Naturally Asprirated car -- VEMS v3.2

For $2004 challenge

So we placed 29th overall in the $2004 challenge

our 1/4mi time was 14.6 after 1/2 hour of tuning on a turbo Yugo MEgasquirt fuel map, a bad coolant sensor, and no nitrous..

oh well.

Yes that PVC works.

Documentation and History

This is to document any changes or addons that are made to MS-AVR (GenBoard or AfreshBoard) during the building of the 1988 scirocco http://www.scirocco.org
Starting point BasicInstallation
The plans
2.0L ABA 16v Turbo

Triggered via the hall sender built into the block

nitrous injection
water injection
ignition control
traction control

Whats happening this year no time for turbo.

2.0L 9A

1.8L 16v head P&P

nitrous direct port injection

water injection via cold start in custom intake manifold

MS-AVR for ignition and fuel

TractionControl -- Used specifically to cut off fuel and air to reduce HP output to stop the tires from spinning
GearSelect -- Circuit to show what gear you are in for an early A1 VW transmission with the big reverse gear connector and the upshift light
IgnitionVW -- information on adapting the stock VW ignition circuit to the MS-AVR system with minimal changes to the system. It should be a fully mappable ignition, by replacing the Typical Hall sender output from the Hall sender on the distributor to the Ignition controller. Ideas abound for a cheap and easy replacement.
WaterInjectionController - This page will describe adding water injection to the racecar.. Please dont try this at home you can seriously damage your car.

MembersPage/GrmRacer/GrmInjectorSetup -- what I have to do to get the car running..

Disclaimer: I'm trying all this stuff at once. None, some, or all of it may work to some degree or other. This STUFF is developed for off-road use, and the car only has to last about 5 drag runs and 2 autocrosses. So think about that before you do any of this.

ArmProcessorSubsitution

Im working on the lpc2119 library for the possible ARM processor use. Take a look at the library and see if I got it right.
