Haltech elite..

[Paul M]

So does the Mazda Sport 1000 box just have a Sprint RE in it, or something else?

[10sec rx7]

nah sport 1000.. that was last week, that ecu left in its car on friday, as is 1 of the elites and one of the 2000's

the one with the texta on it has 15 boost valves in it lol

[glenn]

Any Smartwires in stock Dale lol

[10sec rx7]

no but can have one in 30min lol

[10sec rx7]

here you go replicating the speedo output on a factory ecu for a commodore dash board

[vortex]

Any Smartwires in stock Dale lol

So this is why you're not coming to Adelaide!

[vortex]

Bloke who tends to "know everything" reckons his tuner was told on Elite training that rotary support, FD specifically, is coming in December. Question posted on Haltech forum has been ignored (though only a day or so, I'm an inpatient cunt) - heard anything Dale?

[10sec rx7]

considering the FD and FC trigger types are the same they all would be supported then, but i highly doubt it will be in december...

Perhaps I'm after a smart wire so I can come to Adelaide lol

Had a play last night and basic gearbox control for Toyota a340 and a341 should not be a problem either

I am interested to see how this works.

[10sec rx7]

should only be a week or 2 till we have that sorted

[doctor ed]

dale...

am looking at various throttle setups at present, and one 'easier' option would be twin audi fly-by-wire throttle bodies

a) is this plausible, and can electric throtles be synchronous enough to work (and would you split one output to drive both tb's, or need 2 individual outputs?)
b) im assuming theyre also used for idle speed control, and you dont need a further idle speed controller valve?
c) wh kind of sensor do you need on the throttle pedal, assuming ill be using a basic wilwood pedal box

cheers

this is what i have done in the past and use at your own risk.. use 1 output to drive both motors, have done on 4 BA xr8 falcons and all have had zero problems,
you require a proper DBW pedal as it requires 2 sensors on the throttle pedal and the throttle body,
what i have discussed with Al is to use 1 tps off each throttle body, havent tested it yet tho,.

if you use a wilwood pedal box might be easier to stat cable???

[doctor ed]

throttle bodies are pointing in really awkward directions realtive to each other due to space, so drive by wire to control the pair would ideal
the plenum between banks has a common central region so if one throttle fucks up, im guessing the two banks will even them selves out to an extent (am gettng a guy to CFD this scenario on the plenum to see what unequal flow looks like)

getting a DBW pedal isnt out of the question. just grab a generic bosch one? looks like theres 6 wires coming out of them

[cossie55]

for safety reasons, all Dbw motors should have independent controls, so just hook one DBW motor up using 2 outputs and 2 inputs, the other using another set of outputs and inputs. They should both be able to be controlled by the one pedal of course...

This is commonly done, and shouldn't be too difficult.

Doing both off one output pair would be very bad..

Yeh but it works and works fine. Many a xr8 falcon running around like it with zero problem.. I did say do at your own risk tho

Got a pic??
Yes that pedal will work fine

I have to agree with Jamie on this. Two DBW motors on the same bridge is just wrong for a whole number of reasons. Just because it hasn't failed doesn't mean it won't.

[doctor ed]

why would it fail, and what makes that any worse than a DBW failling on a single throttle?

[elfturbomax]

Inductive flyback energy vs circuit protection components on those ECU outputs. I have heard of injector driver failures when two injectors were connected per driver and overloading the protection until it failed which then popped the drivers. PWM driven motors have way more flyback energy and depending on the protection componentry used the flyback pulses in effect nibble away at the protection devices.

But driving two motors from one output bridge means one cannot be driven in closed loop because there is only one output. If one gets out of phase, say due to mechanical drag, and it is not the one ECU is correcting the position for, it could end up stuck open with the ECU blissfully unaware. If one signal from each throttle is used the ECU still treats one as the master for the control loop and the other as a failsafe but they cannot be assured of being in identical positions because the backup signal has a tolerance from the prime before the ECU responds.

[doctor ed]

understood.

im going to start a new thread to keep this one specifically on topic for dale and the shiny new elite

[10sec rx7]

Dale can it do VE on a Rotary? What is the injector staging like?

FYI Rotary support is tested and working perfect, ill be testing a Elite 1500 with 12 injectors on a 13b in the next few weeks and im 99% sure rotary support will be released with the release of the elite 1500 which will be end of Feb at this stage.

and yes its VE and seamless staging.

[Slides]

Can you give details on staging logic?

Awesome Dale

all will be revealed when its released

[RSWEPN]

Whats the haltech elite 1500 ?

[JZK25]

4+4 version of Elite 2500.

[10sec rx7]

yep its the sport 1000 replacment

[260BC]

Drive by wire, how is throttle response compared with mechanical and what circuit car improvements can be piggy backed?

[Cameron_Datto]

I require a twin throttle DBW. Can you run a OZMO twin DBW controller with the Elite to make the Twin DBW throttle bodies work ? If can't I guess I will have to buy M400 Motec with a Dwb4. Any ideas ? Has Haltech something in the pipline for twin DBW ?
