Anyone seen this installed or has anyone installed it on a car?

 

give me two weeks,, and ill tell all,,, gotta check over a seat on motec in the next few weeks,,,

 

I knew you wouldn't let me down gareth

Something we have been looking at for a few weeks...just not had enough time to fully research so any input would be gratefully received...

 

vauxhall use this method now on astra's etc

 

New clio, comes as std

 

stu and simon might be worth a chat too

 

lots of cars use it,,, even my smart car

 

What happens if you get a flat battery half way home
Be a slow drive home on tick over

 

We would just plug in the spare jump pack...no probs...believe me if the battery goes the throttle will be the least of my worries....

 

900ss, lots of other things start failing before a poxi servo drive

 

im too slow tonight,,

 

I cant decide if i could do it stand alone...ive seen some on Vaux etc but I thought you ingenius lot might have some decent input....

 

im sure simon said in one of his posts that he has fitted a servo drive on a cossie throttle,,,

would be nice to have,,,,

 

Needs to be integrated into a complete managment system to get any real benefits apart from the bling factor.

Mapped throttle position based on RPM/LOAD/THROTTLE DEMAND.
Main advantage is emmisions and can aid turbo spool up.
Ultimately , at wide open throttle. its like any other throttle !!!

Need multiple 3 dimensional maps to do it right - probally a bitch to set up and get right.

Have looked into doing this myself on my S8 ecu.

Just waiting for my mechanical wizard chap to sort out the oily bits then its
time to write some software.

 

You’re right; my wife’s 12v powered dildo would be chucked away for starters

 

Am I correct in thinking that people using VAG 1.8 turbo engines remove this when getting to a certain power level? Food for thought anyway..

 

Simon,

That's the bit i was wondering about....we are looking at intergrating it first with a T6...which servo have you been looking at?

 

not on the one im looking at,,,
most people do it as its an easy way around the mapping,, and they dont need to buy an ecu which can do it

 

Wouldn't be to sure about it just being a bling thing....could be used to acheive all sorts of things....

 

Sorry, very techie.....

I will be using a high power 6 phase direct drive stepper motor.
This will be controlled with high frequency PWM of about 5khz and phase shifted
voltage sequencing on the individual coils to provide a microstepping feature.
The result is a high torque drive with extreme accuracy.
Will also include a return spring so if the motor fails, it returns to fully shut position for safety.

The whole module will have its own on board microcontroller and linked to the ecu using a high speed CAN bus interface.

The original TPS ecu input will accept the new throttle pedal position sensor
Have yet to suss out how to do this.

Dont know how you would do this on a T6 or even know if its capable.
Best ask PECTEL directly.

 

i think simon thought you was on about building a stand along unit,,, not link too the ecu

so would only be a electronic throttle cable

the beifits for one controlled by the ecu is massive

 

GARETH T, This system will be ECU integrated

 

SECS, i know yours would be mate

 

You could make a standalone system but it would need some serious setting up development !!!

 

I BELIEVE the t6 is capable....i was really after a leg up with the hardware...i have a contact in M-SPORT who has helped us significantly with egr and gearcut mods I am just waiting for him to come back to me.....but some manf details etc to help with our development would have been of extreme use...

Cheers

Ian

 

Apolgises Simon I might have thrown you off course....when I said standalone I always meant it to mean linked to the ecu...I believe some vehicles now have the system built into the ecu's.

The early system I have looked at used a serial link between the 'standalone' module and the ecu...

 

sibster, Sounds good to me .... Good luck

 

Thanks simon...i'll take that as a no then !!

Cheers

Ian

 

some great ideas and concepts that can and will in time be used.

 

hmmm and if it fails open?

Be careful on this development lads... think over-ride buttons... or emergency engine cut!

400bhp vs your brakes is not a fair contest!

Alex

 

My BMW has that and i hate it Not responsive at all...

 

theres always a clutch pedal

 

Sibster, did you get a WRC 8 injector manifold for your car.

Paul

 

i had a saab Carlsson with FBW throttle, it was an arse.. dunno what the advantages were meant to be, but i didn't find any on that thing
It was integrated with traction control too, which lifted the throttle.. that was even worse, and you couldn't turn any of it off!!
