Wanted: pinout diagram and graph of OM603 MAF sensor

In order to rig a controller for the vanes on the turbo, I need to know the pinout and cfm-to-voltage or cfm-to-pulse width graph, whatever it is, for the MAF sensor.
The MAF sensor's MB part number is 000 542 92 14 and the black plastic box into which the four-prong connector plugs is Bosch 0 281 002 024.
Thanks,
Philip

04-05-2012, 11:32 PM #1I have pulled the air intake system, including MAF sensor, from a 1987 300SDL (OM603), on the theory that maybe I can utilize this MAF sensor in my 300D for vane control.

I am of the religion that anything with transistors in my engine compartment is Evil.
Also I'm a little worried about what will happen if I inject methanol, propane, or some such upstream of a hot wire sensor.
But actually, I do have one, from a ...mm, I forget what. Some kind of Mercedes around 3 or 4 liters. Can't lay hands on it right now though, to give you a part number. It's *somewhere* in that jumbled jungle called my garage.
Tight control of the vane geometry under all conditions of load, without bowing to the many curses of Modernity, is my quest my glorious quest...

Using airflow to measure load will be a little different on a diesel compared to a gasser. Gassers must keep the air/fuel ratio within a certain range making it easy to assume that if you have X airflow, you must have Y fuel which means Z load. Diesels, being lean burn engines, have a more disconnected relationship between load and airflow. I'm not sure you would have satisfactory results using airflow as the sole or primary load input.

04-11-2012, 09:29 AM #9Have you considered using one of the megasquirts to control the turbo? They look promising for VNT control, especially if you know how to tweak firmware.

What was the max rpm at which the OM603 was governed?
Does anyone have a Volumetric Efficiency figure for the OM603?
Should be able to roughly extrapolate airflow versus ohms from those two figures, and thus get the controller initially set close enough to dial it in precisely, from there, by actual field trials using the good ol' butt dyno...

My plan is to craft-up an Arduino-type controller at first. With exactly the inputs yankneck lists, plus boost of course, maybe rack sensor and rpm also, implementing something along the lines of olefejer's algorithm above --I am after perfection, both while accelerating *and* decelerating. But then, after I get it dialed-in, my aim is to duplicate the functions of the electronic controller with as close to purely mechanical controls as practical.
I did have differential calculus under my belt already when I graduated high school in 1972, and am from an earlier life an accomplished database programmer --I've written entire library tracking and hotel reservation systems, single-handedly--, so there's nothing here mathematically or computerese-wise beyond my ken. But it's just hand-waving up til now, and is going to take shape *very* slowly. I don't expect to be space-cowboy'ing Toyotas and older Beemers until September at the earliest. Too many other non-car commitments. Cash is running low at the moment, too...

04-24-2012, 09:56 AM #19Heh...my local turbo guru's tell me I'm overthinking it too. But what these fellows are accustomed to bringing to life are 500-1000 hp Corvettes, Chargers, Mustangs et cetera,...they call an 880 rwhp Charger a "daily driver"...and, to them, a mere 200-250 hp old Mercedes diesel seems like a rather quaint folly. So far, though, as long as I can whip cash out, they're willing to humor me.

I don't see how using airflow as a primary load input will accomplish anything other than putting the turbo in a feedback loop.
I'm giving advice as someone who is involved in a small and simple engine control project myself: K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple, Stupid. Figure out how much fuel you've got then ballpark how much boost you'll need. Then log data and play around with boost until you're in a good range of fuel/boost ratio. Get elaborate after you're on the road with a working prototype.

04-24-2012, 12:10 PM #20A 6.4l powerstroke can make 40 psi at 30% load and 100% load. That's not keyboard tuning. I can hop in one of the many so equipped trucks on the lot right now and observe load vs boost in the shop's datalogger and see it. There is a massive disconnect between airflow and load in a VGT/VNT equipped turbodiesel.

That's the same thinking as I get from the turbo shop. But, for a combination of reasons, I don't plan to take boost much above one bar. Just, I want that one bar, and the fuel to go with it, available in a lower part of the rpm range than the stock system delivers it. Fueling will be only about twice stock. At this relatively small power level, control finesse will have to substitute for brute force. Thus my interest in MAF, especially in the scenario where the car is coasting, decelerating, coming up to a stoplight, and the light suddenly turns green and I decide I need to floor it. Since it takes about 10 nuts and screws to take off and put on this air intake, might as well engineer-in the capability to use MAF, whilst it's conveniently off the car.

Control finesse = pedal position input. Seems to be the thing most directly related to desired acceleration.
I thought you were just interested for research purposes. I don't see how it would help as a direct input. Logging the results and using them to improve a a map based off more useful inputs is what sounded handy to me.

I'm just browsing but.. MAP only reads air pressure above absolute zero, by cross referencing against air temperture, the ECU calculates air density, nothing do to with air volume?
Installed:
OM606/722.6, big IC, W220 brakes.
Planned:
DIY manifold, compound, 722.6 controller, built IP.
[i]Less rust.. [/i]
I now have the pinout; you're right, it does appear to be a simple potentiometer. Can anyone give me a clue how many ohms equates to how many cubic feet or kilograms per minute?

Vane air flow sensors measure velocity not mass so you won't be able to get a KG/min measurement without cross referencing air temp. CFM is only a measure of velocity. You could push the door open with a blowtorch but there would be very little mass flow rate compared air pushing the door open the same amount at ambient temps.

Corrrect. To make the leap from density to mass flow the ECU must cross the density calculation with volumetric efficiency at the current RPM.

Gone but not forgotten: two W123 sedans and two W124 wagons.
