The knock amplifier uses the stock knock sensor. We do have other sensors available. I would think the problem of phantom knock, would be a case of the other make ECU not been setup correctly, or the knock control not working as it should.
-
Jay,
Yes you can have either narrow or wideband sensor for CLC. The CLC will only be using the narrow band no matter what sensor is used.
-
Firmware version 4.2.0 or later has knock control support on the V44 standalone and the plugin ECU based on the V44. As these ECU do not have an internal knock amplifier like the V88, you need to use an external amplifier.
We have external knock amplifiers available. These output a signal that you connect to one of the Volt inputs on the V44 or plugin ECU.
As far as the way the knock control works, it is the same as the V88.

Select Siemens 3145 in the software and it will setup the correct values.

Here is the data stream acquire manual. http://www.vi-pec.com/techdata/ViPEC_Datastream_Acquire.pdf

all i get is gibberish when i telnet to the correct com port at 57600,8,n,1 and send C or A ... datastream is turn on and i dont get anything (there is no help file entry for data stream btw)
When using the A and C to request data from the Vipec, you need to turn off the data stream option in the software. If you just want to read the data without requesting the data, then select data stream in the software. This will continuously pour out the same data you would get with the A request. You will not get the configuration information.
The data you get out should look like gibberish. It is in HEX format. I will make the full data stream information available for download in another post, after I put it on the server.

The data stream out of the Vipec is at 56700 baud rate. The maximum that AIM can work with is 38400 baud. This means you cannot directly connect the AIM to the V88. You will need the Vipec AIM Dash Adaptor. This reduces the baud rate to 19200.

I am in communication with AIM in Italy (where AIM are made) and RackPak. To be honest I think RacePak will have theirs available before AIM.

Rayhall if you could help me out with a P/N for the connector that AIM can use to connect to the CAN bus on the V88 unit it would be GREATLY appriciated.
To use the AIM dash you need the Vipec AIM Dash Adaptor. It comes with all the necessary cables.
This is what the adaptor looks like. http://www.tfelectronics.com.au/bin/AimDashInterface.png
This is the wiring infomation for the cable that comes with the adaptor.

I just asked Tim Anderson from RacePak did they have a problem. They are ready to go and are just wating for some cables. Other then this there are no problems.

I remember people having trigger problems with another make ECU and this setup. You can always try it, and change later if you have problems.

Set the dwell time to 5.5 msec at 13.5 volts would be a good starting point.

Marcel,
I think if you order a RacePak dash for the "Vipec" the V-Net adaptor and cables are included in the price. You really need to ask RacePak.
-
Matt,
To run the engine multi coil, wasted spark, the Vipec will need four signals for every camshaft revolution. No sync signal would be needed.
If you want sequential, then you will need the four signals, plus a sync signal.
I do not have a lot of confidence in that method of getting a trigger signal.
-
The data stream is serial. You can access the data via the USB port or the CAN port. You can select in the software that the data be active all the time. The better option is to request the data and configuration as you need it. Sending the "C" character will get the configuration information and the "A" character every time you want a packet of data.

This is a list of items that are in the data stream for the dash displays to use. The V88 will also output information so the display knows how the inputs and outputs have been selected by the user. Example:- There are 11 Volt inputs, any of these could be the wideband input.
The configuration information in the data stream will allow any dash to display the information you require, provided the dash has the capability.

Matt,
For your cam trigger setup, I would need more information. How many cylinder is the engine. Are you using a distributor or multi coil.
-
Chris,
The throttle controller will work on some Honda engines. I would need a Toyota pedal and throttle body to test, to be able to confirm it was compatible.
-
So I guess that this would mean that one boost table is all that is needed ?
Yes, one table is all you need.
-
I do have the connectors, but do not know if I have any spares as I buy the coils with the connectors. I will see if I can help.

Marcel,
From the menu bar at the top of the screen, select Runtime Display > Setup Graphics (or just press Ctrl + E). You will then be able to set the limits for everything.

The current firmware and software, supports your engine and cam control.
The throttle control feature is not released at the moment. It is an option you will pay to turn on when available. If you must have throttle control now, then use the TF Electronics controller. http://www.tfelectronics.com.au/PageFiles/throttlecontrol.html This is what others have been using.

In theory there should be a GP PWM option. I will look into this and reply back.

To have a different boost in each gear you setup the Y axis of the boost table as gears. See example below.

The throttle control on the V88 is an option. This feature is not available at the moment and when available, it will be for dealer only installs.
