That's really interesting. If you had the analog MAP inputs per cylinder, in principle you could handle the rest in code. If I'm interesting in contributing to that, would it be via the rusEFI project?


Do you code or do you mean contribute another way?

I mean write code to process N input MAP sensor signals from ITBs in software.

Maybe take a look at the code and we can talk off line. It's a level beyond me to alter it

Some slow progress. The ECU specs are slowly coming together. It looks like its getting about 7x5in OEM type case with a 154pin connector with the goal to use every pin....but the case is the size it is so what fits fits. There will be more of everything than anyone could use up like 40 analog inputs that can be logged at 1000hz. On board accelerometer is being worked on now and they are looking for a good solution on GPS logging for track day use. I've been kind of helping the the guy with the alpha unit work through his tuning so his car is running a lot better now and I have a lot better understanding of the software and agreed to draft a user manual so its all written down. I also slapped together a bench test setup so I can confirm what anything I'm uncertain about does.

The important part is its proceeding and I should have a unit by spring.

The oil has continues to leak....clean up the floor 2 or 3 time and finally just drained it. I got about 1qt out of the tank and maybe 2-3 from the sump. It had 14qts so 10 slung around the engine bay and leaked out on the floor. I THINK its the oil pump housing to timing cover that is leaking. I struggled a bit last time trying to get the timing cover assemble on and thought I saw the pump housing move when I tapped it together so I'm thinking that is exactly what I saw. New gaskets ordered but I need to pull the engine to change them.

Before the engine comes out I want the wheel wells fitting. I mostly got the passenger side fitting now.

It took a while but the wheel wells fit nice. I the driver's side I ran a ton of wires so I ended up cutting the top off the wheel well to clear them, seemed a lot easier than doing battle to make it fit. They still need paint but I guess I try and pull the engine tomorrow.

I've been pretty lazy about working and updates but there is progress. The engine is on the bench at least

I decided I didn't love the bare alum oil tank so its now satin black.

The ECU guy is about 2weeks from placing the beta board order so I should have a sample in my hands in 6-8 weeks. It will have a 154 pin VAG connector and case so it should at least look like a real ecu if nothing else. The board guy is doing the setup and tuning on his car with the alpha board so I'm getting to see all the things that are a bit odd in the rus code and how to deal with them.....but if there is an embedded C/C++ capable programmer reading this who might want to trade some code for an ECU feel free to ping me as I would love to unweird it as much as possible and that kind of coding is just not my thing.

I can't make any commitments at this point, but I am definitely eager to try.

Hey, I hit you by email, too. LMK what specifically you want "unweirded" and I'll have a look at it.

I emailed asking about your coding experience, but just saw your rus post saying its kind of your thing which is great. the board just graduated from 4 to 6 layers trying to make it all fit into a VAG 154 case/connector setup so it looks like a real ecu

The traces are still being run so the pinout is not final final but its close

I am plowing though trying to rough out a user manual.....I'm maybe 1/2 way. Email me and I'll put you in touch with this project's team to see if there is something you can help with, it pays discounted or free ECU
