Timing being pulled back? With links to the graphs

Thu Dec 5 01:13:36 EST 2002

Well Mihnea - long story
I could be wrong.
I have checked all my mails with Ned without finding the
exact statement - so misunderstandings from phone calls may exist
but I have had this opinion for a quite long time and some other things seems to convince me in that opinion
When the engine is accelerating you have to accept, that the ECU use look-up tables with different input other than closed loop -
and feed back - from the Lambda.
There is a lot of talking about old type Lambda and wide band sensors (not used for Motronic year 90) usable at any load.
So my guess is, that closed loop (feed-back) is not possible at
a lot of running conditions.
Charles O. Probst in Bosch Fuel Injection & Engine Management mentions on page 36 Pulsed Injection - Full Load Acceleration
that the WOT switch disables the air-flow signal and base the fuel enrichment solely on rpm.
To my opinion he should have written "on rpm and boost" too !!
I am sure temperature and boost are input to tables too.

My own experience is,
a) that when cruising at constant speed
the Lambda changes lean-normal-fat some times a second - all the time. If you start pulling up-hill or accelerating
 the mixture is enriched showing the use of tables and not closed loop ?
b) at very hard acceleration - if the fuel pressure is too high -
the engine hesitates close to 4800 rpm and wont go to 7000.
Lowering pressure fix this problem. The Lambda is not able to
adjust. Just show fat mixture. But coasting and idling is still fine.
To be honest - the only doubt I have is whether I was told 4200 or 4400 rpm :-).
But I have to admit, that measured air escaping due to un-tightness also give problems at acceleration.

MAPsensor upgrade?
If the boost can't be measured - the fuel can't be calculated -
to my opinion and a over-boost condition would arise.
A 2.0 Bar sensor delivers 5.0 V from 2.0 Bar and up to damage. The boost chip run out of tables?

WG spring: I bought it from a Danish manufacture of springs.
I choose a length of 48 mm close to 2 "; a diameter 46 mm
as the original and coresize is 5  mm. And made the perch adjustable. You can only compress a few mm with your hands.
Test-drive carefully watching boost in a high gear.

The real reason for playing with WG springs were the break down of my Garrett turbo. I had to re-install my k24 and I didn't had
a standard MAF, only my RS2 MAF. So in order to save the live
of the k24 with the IA V set-up at 2.7 Bar I want to run at max 2.4 Bar - and that works real great with the 3 Bar chipset, RS2 injectors and MAF.

I am interested in the truth about chips and ECU so please inform an correct me.

I have decided, that next time I want to enhance my car, it should be based on user programmable
systems in order to get rid of the restrictive Motronic.
Like a 034 from Javad perhaps for my Urq WR engine.
But 5 coil ignition is not released yet - ...
