VNT control

[Jonny b]

@ ruan I think we need to have a chat! I run an electronics manufacturing company with my old man, £350k pick and place, board design, lead free wave solder, make stuff for mod, lotus, formula 1 teams pm me your number

Yeah, why not lol.



Think im gonna wire a vac over ride so i can open the vanes on the motorway, just need it set so theyer slightly open so its making a little boost for efficiency

Manual VNT control?

Make sure you always have a passenger who knows what to do?

Sounds like a good idea!

Load sensing output from the alternator...into fancy cap and converter

then use a 12v actuator from another application?!

I know I am thick...but could it not be that simple?!

Very good Ruan, I see you're the first driver in this way in the XUD vnt. . . I'm also on the way, but now I have very little time or money for research, but if I have the arduino, 2 n75, plate, transistors. . . and loaded the program and e visusalizado the menu. I have to solder the components to the board, but was waiting to be sure of his mount. By the way, you have the LCD? I tried it and is very comfortable. I need is map sensor, you've got? one of 3bar and 2bar absolute reading?
I would like your help for installation as the instructions, do not quite understand, and I do not speak English, only Spanish. . . and it sucks always use translators. Spain is here in this lonely prepare and less XUD engines. . . Only with remap tdi's. . . .
Greetings and look forward to the new GTB. . .

good luck adapting the hot side on that - the merc turbos have the gay'est hotside setup ever...


Just to chuck my 2p in; in regards with the "free software" - Ruan, has a point, decent software as he is more of a specialist than most on this forum, thus has the knowledge capable for putting it into practice; personally i wouldn't touch the software as i'm pretty useless with electrics.

There are other means to controlling VNT's besides electrics and software and i think Max (and myself) are pretty much there, mechanically at least, and if we were to sit down a properly put pen to paper we'd nail it..


Be inetersting to see some more VNT's being put into practice this summer

Well, like everything else, is get to learn, much better if someone helps you, insistence is the key to many advances. I already vimuchos montages vnt control mechanics, but I do not seem reliable when you have high pressure, I think you mucos pressure spikes and are dangerous in the long run in high performance engines. . .
I see safer electronic control and an LCD where you visualize all pressures and temperatures rpm. . . I guess everyone likes lol
