Re: BMW e34 M5 S38

We have recently added some things to the firmware that may help with the DISA flap switch overs, the next firmware release should contain it. Essentially we have added the ability to set a modifier map for the spark and VE based on another variable. In your case you would be able to set the variabl...

Re: 55p Motronic 1.3 PnP

Pretty much. To do my E30 I installed an M50 TPS sensor, a GM 1 bar map sensor and the individual coils from an M50. However I would recommend smart coils of some kind instead of the older and hard to find M50 ones. I would take a look at the wikis page on ignition hardware. https://github.com/rusef...

Re: 55p Motronic 1.3 PnP

There are also a few barriers to M1.3 PNP, mostly the trap door air flow meter with IAT integrated, the non-variable TPS and 3 injectors wired in a batch.

All of these are fixable but would require time and supplying TPS conversions etc that right now does not make sense.

Yep, and I don't think it has had any changes to the meth since then (appart from enabling it on high-side 1).

Re: Trigger problem with 60/2 and Bosch Quick Start

Do I detect someone with an AVL indicom? The jumping 360 out is a result of the ECU only syncing the crank, with RE in crank only mode then the ECU will guess one of the 360 rotations to be the start of the cycle. For batch and wasted spark this is ok but 3 cylinder your going to want that cam sync ...

Hi. As discussed the modules are the same as the ones people have been using with MS for years, the documentation at the link 99% applied to rusefi but obviously we are not limited to just wasted spark. Thus no need to wire two pins of the module to one RE output. http://www.useasydocs.com/Bosch_211...

We also had a similar problem and it was due to sensor drift when it was hot. Something to do is check the raw voltages/ADC when the sensor is cold and then warm it up to see if it changes. We were seeing drift in both the low and high end of the sensors signal, solved completely with a Honda CRV se...

You will need some ignition packs to drive those coils, the outputs of the RE are only able to work directly with 5v signal smart coils.

It has been my experience that the piezoelectric knock sensors are able to detect the onset of knock sooner than the ion signal simply because the ion signals seem to be insensitive to that early low amplitude knock oscillation.
