Electronic IP's, what's needed to drive one?
Electronic IP's, what's needed to drive one?
I've had this thought running round my head since saturday, so I had to eject it.
I know some of the newer diesels use an ECU controlled variant of the bosch pumps, but I'm in the dark as to what's actualy different internally. Is it just a servo mechanisim with feedback hooked to the rack, with little else, or are the other subsystems like the t-cap, full load stop, etc still there?
Is there any documentation of the signals needed to drive them?
Is there one that would fit on a 617?
Has anyone even tried to reverse engineer the ECU firmware, or modify it?
Sorry for leaving a brain dropping, but if I didn't I'd be thinking about it till next March...
The only thing inside is a solenoid that pushes directly on the fuel rack and position sensor for feedback.
There is no benefit to it in any way over the mechanical governor.

(12-06-2010, 09:27 AM)winmuttWhat kind of spring do you use for governing if you want full fueling until 5800rpm and no fueling at all at 6000? It would be very loooong and pre-tensioned, and would not fit in.(12-06-2010, 04:43 AM)ForcedInduction There is no benefit to it in any way over the mechanical governor.
Direct rack control instead of a rube goldbergs concoction of springs and weights? Anti jerk control?

Hm, so the question is, can I get one of these devilish things that will fit a 617?
Will one of the 60x 5 cyl ones fit?
There's a thread about this already. "electronic ip control" or close to that. Check it out & see how far it went.

Quote:Anti jerk control?My brain and right foot do that. My 240 used to do that all the time in 1st and 2nd gear when I first did the engine conversion. Once I learned under what conditions it occurs and how to compensate it hasn't happened since.

Seems to me the more electronics you add the more things that can go wrong. And the harder they are to fix when they do. But that's only my opinion.
Doh, there wasn't a US spec 60X 5 cylinder, was there? :/

yup NA, and Turbo its a om602.xxx
