Most of the late model turbos used on diesel trucks have some sort of variable vane control. these turbos are available really cheap on places like Ebay. The problem is controlling the vanes. it requires a PWM signal to a solinoid. The inputs to control it are generally throttle position, map sensor...

Anything going on with this?

If you want a good list of Knock sensors, go to amazon.com, select automotive. search the term "Knock Sensor" I came up with a couple of hundred. It does show a picture of each one and a application guide for which vehicle it is used in. It would be good to get drawings with mounting dimen...

I suggested the Intersil unit because they had an evaluation board and software that runs on a PC. it uses some pins on the paraell port to send data out to the SPI interface. They want like $300 for the evel board and software though. I will hunt up the part numbers for the Jeep Knock sensors for y...

Maybe a easy way to support the COP stuff would be to mount the trigger wheel on the cam. I guess you could do this right now and used a EDIS8 to support a 4 cylinder engine. By cam mounting the wheel, it would also turn at half the speed so you could support higher RPMs.

Be great to have a COP setup available. I have used the Haltech units, they have about 10 Different trigger patterns in the software. (not the jeep setup though). The haltech units use the CPU to do the current control on the coils, and the same output could drive an injector. They use PWM to limit ...

Perhaps this suggestion is a little selfish, We do alot of works with Jeep, the have a crank trigger with notches every 20 deg, but then 2 notches are missing. so on the 6 cylinder engine, the trigger is 18-6. the first notch is 60 deg BTDC , then 3 additional notches follow, then a space equal 2 tw...

the TI Chip Looks like the same thing, if you decide to do a seperate unit , perhaps you could have several outputs, 1. A pulse output comaptible with the GM knock modules used the 80-90s 2. a 0-5V analog output or PWM ( it could also drive a dash guage) 3. A CAN intercace that would would work with...

Have you considered using something like the Intersil HIP9011 chip in the next version of your controller? Knock control would be great and since the cihip is only about $5.00 i think the added features would be well worth it. Another idea would be to make a seperate tunable knock module that could ...
