OM 606 alternative ECU
OM 606 alternative ECU
(01-30-2014, 02:50 AM)Jambo Hi all,
has anyone ever tried using an alternative ECU to run an OM606 like eg. Megasquirt?
Is it even possible?
I have thought about it but never had the time and so on. It's hard to run an CR-engine with a Megasquirt, even though BOSCH Motorsport and VEMS has aftermarket ecus for this. But the older pumps like on the 606 should work with a cheap ecu like the Megasquirt. One has to look inside the original ecu first and se what's special about it.
I hope someone here know more about the 606 ecu hardware than I do. Would be fun realtime tune a 8mm IP with boost controll could even controll the ALDA electronicly and make a super nice runing engine. Even though the mechanical IPs works like a Swiz clock

I agree, mechanical is my first choice but will find out soon if the mechanical pump I have is useable.
Do you know how much a pump has to deliver (cc's) to get the stock 130kW(177PS) or better still 150kW?
Is there a graph or something similar that would indicate HP against fuel cc?

Oh, that's almost nothing. Stock is like 80cc or so. With some dialing in and such hokus pokus there are like 120cc to get from the stock 6mm elements.
What's fun with electronic controll is the controll. Be able to really fine tune an engine is like poetry in motion. Feel the power producing under the finger tips is an amazing feeling.
I must have the best job ever

(01-30-2014, 11:42 AM)Druk Surely a Megasquirt runs piezo injectors? A 606 has mechanical injectors and the pump has solenoid rack actuation which is 'monitored' by it's ecu via a sensor. How would a Megasquirt run that?
No a MS will not run a CR-engine. But a $12.000 BOSCH Motorsport will. Or the cheaper $2500 VEMS.
What does the ecu in an old IP like the 606 adjust? And how? Is there 1-5v signal, PID or what? How many things does the stock ecu controlls beside temp and such?

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?

MS would normally run solenoid Injectors.
Hardware wise MS could control a 606 pump but the firmware would need to be re-writen.
Are you sure VEMS can control a an electric pump? MS and VEMS aren't very different to each other in hardware or software capabilities. Again with different firmware same as MS it could probably do it but as is?
(01-30-2014, 11:42 AM)Druk Surely a Megasquirt runs piezo injectors?Nope, & what's even worse is that Megasquirt doesn't do sequential injection which is why they say it's not really road legal, it fires all injectors at once which in my mind not only defeats the purpose of multi-point efi but in a diesel it would be catastrophic.

Are you drunk guys??? Ms have the sequental injection and vems dont cost 2500 miljons bucks itś costs only 600-. eur + wirings etc.
I´ll try to translate maps in original ecu ,I know its not easy but ,,stealing´´ chiptuned files and comparing them with the original stuff gonna help me out i belive.
Easist way I think is delete all unneccesary maps and try to use only boost pressure/gas pedal/rack position map(s)
No egr/maf or anything else elecronic stuff.
But first I need to find or download original ecu file from somewhere.
On the wide world have guys who can make it their eyes closed but it cost lot of money

There is a DIESEL-version of the VEMS, that cost $2500, but that's for CR-engines, not this old types like the 606.
If the pump signal is a PWM-signal it should be a piece of cake. But I don't think controlling the pump is the primary, when using a aftermarket ecu on an engine like the 606 that works like a charm with a mechanical pump. The true benefits should be that you can control everything around it... Like ALDA, Boost control and such. When using a electric pump there is a 0-5v signal from the gas pedal, like a TPS, logging that together with RPM, EGT and Boost you could make a 606 with more power than most people.
But it's not a PnP solution. Code might be written and so on to make it work and that's quite some hustle.

hello fine people,
I have a friend wich is electronic engineer, he spend his days fixing electrical and electronic problems in cars , few days ago he told me that i should change my 605 mechanical pump to the electronic one, and i said how i can run that here ?? well we can trick it was the answear. so i will try it and then i´ll tell u guys how to do it , well if i´m suceeded.

Yeah basically you plug your microwave to the pump, adjust it to 2000 kilowatts and bobs your uncle
The issue is that the ECU is locked to the VIN of the car - you need to replace the chip in order to reflash it and it is possible, I believe there are issues with most off the shelf ECUs being fast enough to adjust the signals. There have been some progress with running the engine on an Arduino however not really past idle.
I bet the real problem will be the rack sensor. It uses a inductive distance style sensor I believe... Like this:
The time it takes to charge the coil under a duty cycle or PWM, is a certain rack position. I doubt a standalone can read this signal.
I would like to try an Arduino. However, writing the software and having the knowledge could take ages. Could make me some money though!
I'm not sure about the electrical control though... But this could very well also be a duty cycle.
I would personally use the stock ECU. i think its easy to remap and immo-off. Would throw some faults about missing CAN-nodes.
The PWM signal is no problem. However, rack position is read by the time it takes to charge the coil. (the closer the metal, the harder it is to charge the coil, or vise versa)
Like this:
rc7.gif
However I'm not sure it's measured this way. I based this on my knowledge and other peoples voltage readings.
It might be easier to remap the ECU to simply output a different PWM signal via the stock setup rather than trying to use the a piggyback ECU - replacing the stock chip to be remappable might be an option - I have a spare ECU in the garage so I might be tempted to try something out.
To clear things up. A vems / Bosch or standalone ecu will not run the edc pump.
It uses two inductance Senors for rack position and offset due to temperature changes internally.
This is very specific to these pumps. The fuel solenoid is easily controlled but without a reference its hard for a pid controller to control.
I have already deimmobised 4 stock ecus for use in other vehicles successfully, also only needing crank sensor, throttle sensor, map sensor, ect and iat to run it essentially.
I also have different maps depending on pump used. Currently I have an 8mm pump and a low smoke or plenty of smoke map. With raised torque limits/ fuel limits etc and trial running rev limit.
Once my own car is on the dyno will we have a 100% custom rev limit solution.
So in the right hands the stock ecu is still an ideal solution.
As some already know I have developed a bespoke ECU for the Bosch M EDC pump. This design has been running two cars locally without trouble for several months now. Not only is it an ideal solution for performance as fuel delivery can be fine tuned by laptop from within the car but it also makes engine swaps much easier as there's much less wiring required than when utilising the stock Mercedes ECU.
I will have them available for purchase by mid november.

Yeah, i need to finish my complete write-up and post it. But basically - You can get a de-imobilizer circuit from the interweb such as: http://www.ecutool.com/Mercedes-Benz-CR1..._9925.html. Instructions are there, but it requires a programming tool ($25) and a bit of electronics expertise.
I ripped the entire loom for the 606 from a donor W210 and cut away the bits that were not needed. I have the circuit diagram for the ECU connections and now know what each pin does, and which to add power to. You keep all of the engine sensors and the loom intact.
I will get my stuff together and post it asap.
(Incidentally when i first embarked on this there was someone from this forum who wanted to sell this information. That i find unacceptable, forums are for sharing information)
I should also add that, much of this was found out in partnership with pryantcc who was very helpful, and has also done this conversion.
p.s. I'm also working on a micro-controller to read and display some of the engine parameters, such as CEL, Glow and a few others that we miss without the original dash display.

For measuring the inductance you could place a capacitator in parallel to the sensing coil and then measure the frequency at which the circuit oscillates. From there it would be easy to calculate the inductance.
How hard is to remove the immobilizer from the stock CDI ecu ? And make it run standalone ??

This particular design will drive engines that have EDC injection pump, so OM605/606 turbo models and possibly others. I myself am planning to fit an EDC pump to an OM662 using this system. With this system it's possible to run any engine speed, with fully tunable fuelling across the entire operating range. It also has tunable turbocharger control for either PWM or CAN controlled units and high speed data logging.
The three sensors it needs to operate the engine are pedal position, engine speed and rack position. Manifold pressure sensor is required for turbo control and transient fuel limiting. Engine coolant temperature sensor is required for glow plug and cooling fan control. Exhaust temperature sensor can be used for fuel limiting as well.
I have a design for common-rail engines as well but it needs testing and further development.

That in-line pump uses same rack/actuator position sensing as later VE pumps. Translating its output to something sensible is quite simple. You feed that coil with square wave signal and then you measure downslope time which is proportional to inductance of coil which is also proportional to position of shorted turn that drives in its feromagnetic core ie. rack itself. I made this circuit and it has usable output of 4Volts which you can easily remap to read 0-100%. There on the internets its guy named Juho? He made standalone ECU for BOSCH VE pump based on arduino with oled VE pump which uses simple potentiometer to sense position. Therefore to make it work on Merc pump which uses HDK sensing it only needs fitting that my piece of circuit so processor can read where rack is. There is nothing to it, but to do it... maybe this spring while I still own C250TD.
