Hi Folks
I know there is a thread for the Standalone ECU for M8 but i have few Tech questions, so the best idea was to ask people here.
We have developed a Standalone ECU and have running it on two sleds without problems. We are close to release it with a turbo kit manufacturer, anyway that is not the point.
After testing and calculation production costs, we have also try a piggyback system.
We found out that piggyback deliver nearly the same result as a standalone but the production costs are not so high and we do not need to control every corner of the 2 stroke engine.
standalone give you a full control of nearly everything on and in the engine.
but do we need that? it is funny to write your name on the dash after starting the snowmobiles but there is nearly nothing to change to get better performance.
piggyback that we have made is nearly the same hardware as standalone so we take over functions we need to control the important engine functions and the turbo on it.
piggyback take over:
fuel map, timing map, exhaust valve control, map sensor for boost, we add two temp sensors for I/C air in and out, oil pressure control for turbo, a/f ratio, we run now fuel detection, and few other functions, boost solenoid control, ...
i think piggyback should work better then a standalone, then on a standalone it is easy to take over all features from the OEM ecu but most of those features you never change!
what do you think? standalone or piggyback?
