Ideal VNT Opperation
Ideal VNT Opperation
Computer control with a servo actuator. RPM, throttle position and boost would be the minimum inputs needed to run it, road speed and exhaust pressure could help with economy.
RPM and TP determine the engine load which determines the desired pressure and boost input gives feedback to the ECM. Road speed could be used to fine tune the boost needed during cruise situations.
Here is how Holset controls their VGT.

Correct. I don't know of any vehicle that uses an ECM just for the turbo.
bgkast That would be too easy, :mrgreen:Yes to easy.

I had a brilliant idea today on the way home. Replacing the ALDA with a stepper motor (or even an ideal use for the CCU). This would allow you to control the amount of fuel (and rack travel?) based on all of the other factors. Beside fuel economy it would act as a failsafe incase of over boost, stuck vanes or if you feel like it (cruising economy).
