cubeqtio Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Hi all, Just saw the new TurboSmart E-gate and reeeeeally badly want one. Link to E-Gate Is the LinkEcu PnP Mitsu Evo version able to control it? If yes - then how? Thanks already for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 I would say unknown at the moment. It looks to need a heap of current to operate so we would have to use a solid state relay as none of the ECU drives will do 20A There is also position feed back which currently we have no strategy directly for. cubeqtio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 From what I have heard from friends at Sema, they are designed to be driven like an E-throttle, it will need an H bridge with closed loop position control. There was mention that them or a "partner" will be selling a separate driver box so you can control it via a more typical PWM type boost control signal. Im interested to know what you would need this for? It seems like it is designed to replace the CO2 control on the Pro mods and similar where they do odd things at launch etc. We use electronic wastegates in my current job and to be honest I dont see any real advantage over a more traditional option - we do it for quicker troubleshooting & scrutineering purposes mainly. It takes a lot of work to get them to behave the way a pneumatic gate just behaves naturally during gear changes and stuff like that.

Was searching for options for booscontrol and was looking for this. Always look out for the new tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
