N/A alpha-N config
« on: July 12, 2010, 12:59:00 pm »
I will run with ITBs and a big cam so will most likely need to run with an alphaN setup.

Has anyone got a config I can look at to see the break points you are running for the TPS?

Thanks
Paul

Needs to go 0 to 255, recommended to me was:
0,2,5,12,23,35,53,75,115,165,225,255

Thanks for the help.

With Vemstune it now scales for the TPS maps so the max is 100

Cheers
Paul

Depends from firmware. Newer use 0....100%

When you have set them up, have you connected the fuel presure regulator up still or just left it open to atmosphere?

On my Nissan I used a FSE fuel regulator which had a guage so I knew it was providing fuel at a constant 3bar.
I wouldn't like to think about the pulsating effect on fuel pressure from an engine that couldnt produce a clean enough MAP signal.
The FSE regulator is sitting in my garage unused if you need one.

I left the regulator to atmosphere on my set up, but you will find the VE map is peaky

I'll leave mine open then thanks.

Rob - I don't think the FSE will work with my setup, my current regulator has two inputs and one output (for a boxer engine, makes the plumbing easier)

no problem, I'd have thought it would run like it does on my Subaru - one rail feeding another with a single FPR at the end.

I could have done it that way, but there is a bit less room in a bus behind the fanshroud to run the hoses than on a beetle

Well Vemstune doesn't seem to want to let me enter the TPS points I want to put in  >:(

Maybe they are fixed at the following 3,7,11,15,17,19,25,31,37,45,54,62,70,78 - but I guess the ECU doesn't extrapolate out the boundaries of the table, and I can't imagine the VE will be the same at 0 pedal and 3% pedal?

Tried again and it works better this time, but I still can't enter 0 pedal and 100.  They change to 1 and 99.  A few other points are wrong as well.  It is as if the scaling is greater than 1
