Re: DBW using BMW motors

Have you spoken to Syvecs US? It would be easy enough to provide you with a DBW config that will work 95% of perfect, and probably better than many ECUs can ever manage. so I wouldn't let the DBW setup put you off. Yes, Syvecs US is always available when I call and helpful. I haven't asked them abo...

Re: DBW using BMW motors

Did I say you were on your own with the motors? It wouldn't be hard to send the motor in for characterisation, but it may have already been done. I mean "on my own" in that Syvecs hasn't chimed in to report that they already have worked with these specific motors and already know how to s...

OK, that makes sense in that BMW can monitor linkage problems in between the 2 sensors.

So it sounds like I'm on my own with the motors.

Re: DBW using BMW motors

You will need2 sensors per throttle bank, and a dual sensor pedal. I believe the BMW motor has one sensor in already, meaning you can combine that with exiting TPS sensors. To wire it in and use it is not hard, to tune the throttle can take a little time for it to be perfect, but it can be set up q...

DBW using BMW motors

I'm using 2 electronic throttle actuators from an e46 M3 to control the individual throttles on my Ferrari V12. If I buy an S8, what will be involved with setting this up? Can Syvecs supply an ecu that is ready to use? Do I need to learn about things specific to motion control such as proportional g...

Outputting to an OBD2 port

Can a connector be setup to transmit OBD2 data? I ask because I would have to deal with American emissions testing and a functional OBD2 port would be the holy grail of tuning and not being an outlaw. There is no law I can find that an OBD port can only be created by a mega auto manufacturer, only s...
