Re: More turbo BMW updates
Wow, the ---- really hit the fan here didn't it!
I've been REALLY busy and not checked in on hmt for a few weeks. I have a few comments to make about some of the things said in this thread. firstly, you are doing a GREAT job on the TIG work etc :-) build looks great. your talent and taste are never in question (except the fuel pump choice maybe) In time order :

A ready when you need it (stick to using existing ms products with hacks and patches and mods or look elsewhere, waiting for a ms product to be released is like waiting to grow old and die) B functionally correct in hardware of software when its released for public viewing. (all current ms boards have a number of serious hardware faults (that can be worked around), and all grippo software released thus far has been untidy, hacky, undocumented, monolithic and at least partially non-functional) C supported by James and Ken (who do write code that works) in a short period of time (which you will need for it to be much use at all...) Don't take the comments in this post as a MS bash, they are just "saying it how it is", I 100% recommend megasquirt2/v3.0 board setups with ms2e code on them to anyone that needs an affordable stand alone that works really well right now. In the future I hope to not be able to say that (laughs at secret plan)

who think that MS is incapable of running a BMW 24v motor - they're these elitist "engineer" types who thing the only proper way to control an engine is with a stock ECU. So, I've gone through many "time outs" on that forum along with many people thinking I am a young, hot-headed kid who thinks he knows everything... I have a mixed audience

Is brand name association really that deep-rooted? I mean if it does all the things you need it to properly, then it works properly. What does he believe it doesn't do properly?

He said the MS2 CPU is still not good, but it does a "better job" of handling the task. Sure the actual MHz speed of the MS-1 CPU in a book will not sound very good. But when you consider what it has to do compared to the stock ECU it becomes more apparent as to why it works.

Is he serious? Does he know the output of the leveling computers used in the early Explorer missions? Sub-giga-hertz processing. The bus speed is what really matters, and when the thing only has to access a matrix based on a few inputs there isn't very much computing going on. It doesn't even need to bother with an interface, the laptop does all that. The thing is perfect driving a car on it doesnt mean its working well or optimally. he's an elitist and won't back down. consider this, i have a ms running my engine, i like it, it works well, i support it on the forums, i recommend it to friends and acquaintances and generally think that with ms2 and ms2e and a v3.0 board its a pretty good system regardless and esp for the dollars you pay, but i am STILL saying these things. why. could it be because i'm honest and a realist? i like ms, but that doesnt mean i'll lie about what it is and is not. it has faults (most systems do) but they are livable. its not perfect though. pretending that it is is sheer ignorance and stupidity. over the next few months the cheap EMS world is going to get a BIG shake up courtesy of me. keep your eyes open for that. over and out, fred. |
Re: More turbo BMW updates
Annnnnnywaaaaaaaaaaay
Updates! Picked up 2 of these http://blowneuroz.com/525/Parts/innovatetc4.jpg 4 channel Innovate EGT loggers. I will have 8 ports to play with - I figure I'll do 6 manifold runners, one pre turbo in collector, and one post turbo in down pipe just for reference/learning. Also, my friend sent me this pic today, finished up our torque plate which means time for block machining and assembly!!! http://blowneuroz.com/525/Fabrication/torqueplate.jpg |
Re: More turbo BMW updates
I took the radiator support up today and used my newly acquired satin black powder coat - came out sick. http://blowneuroz.com/525/Progress/radsupportdone.jpg Then I went and painted the fuel tank with some enamel black stuff Jay had - it looks like it will dry very tough. http://blowneuroz.com/525/Progress/tankdone.jpg |
Re: More turbo BMW updates
Damn it just keeps geting better.

Re: More turbo BMW updates
explain this torque plate to me.

Re: More turbo BMW updates
jist of it:
torque down the head with studs and cylinders deform slightly bore the engine with a torque plater attached to simulate the head in order to have the cyls be at correct shape when deformed by the studs |
Re: More turbo BMW updates
The problem everyone on bf.c seems to have after x amount of boosted miles is their HG goes. So far (to my knowlege, anyway) none of them have ever attempted *contacting* Darton to question them about resleeving w/stepped or o-ringed sleeves. There is the occational person who o-rings a stock block, but they use a steel wire and stock HG, rather than copper wire and MLS HG. Iono... There seems to be only 1 person making any attempt at researching the blocks, he got a 'spare' and cut it into like 10 pieces. :1
The thing that some arguing fools don't realize is that a certain ecu that was designed in the 80's and is still used almost exclusively for a certain brand vehicle can make 700+ whp upto/past 10k rpm on a tiny 4-cylinder. That would be the p28-style ecu & variants. Seriously though, think of what they had in the early 90's vs today. If you could get a PC that took a week to calculate X digits of Pi back then, and today a ---- PC can do that in a minute, just think how 'slow' automotive ECU's were back then. Its kind of like the Crome/Neptune/Hondata/etc debates. Sure, Neptune sure is hot ---- vs Crome, but Crome certainly can do what's needed. Same with MS2. /rant Let me know how the TC-4 works out. That's my next purchase for next x-mas. If you haven't spent a load on the sensors yet, there are people that make the k-types (and they are just as good quality) mainly for airplanes, and they're 1/3 the price you'd purchase them from Innovate. Just in case you feel like saving some cash... Again, cool ---- you're doing. |
