As soon as I feel like I'm done torturing you SBEC guys
Actually, I'm just waiting until I'm sure my code is all working right in T-SMEC. Since they are the same processor, the code will mostly be the same. I don't want to copy a bug over to T-SBEC...
OK, I need a volunteer. For now, I only want someone with a 2.5 T1 auto - becuase that's the only template I have built at this point. It's too much work to keep multiple templates up to date. T-SBEC should be ready to test in the next couple of weeks. I want to get to a good point before my flash boards come in.
Not much help here either, but you do have my moral support!

any update?

I think I'm just about done with the 2.5 T1 template. I was making the 2.2 VNT template and hit a bit of a snag. The VNT and T1 boost control routines use some of the same data space. So, I really have 2 options - kill the VNT control code, or figure out how to combine the dataspaces somehow. How many guys really want the VNT boost control code for T-SBEC?
I'd guess the need to be minimal at best for vnt.
Hope to fire up the Sundance on the spare motor with the SBEC harness next weekend.

yea but if we had a vnt code wouldnt that enable us to use bigger than stock vnt turbos?
and arent those really the best turbo?
Well, you still have a ton of tuning to do to use a bigger VNT turbo. I thought there were only like 2 VNT turbos available - and neither of them are terribly big, right? Anyone wanting a 'big' turbo will be using a non-VNT turbo. At least, that's how I understand it.
Of course, there will be some who will want it. And, I don't really want to eliminate the VNT boost control. I'll look at it again and see how hard it will really be to keep both.
I'd like it, but just because the engine I'll be dropping into the Omni has a stock VNT, not a big loss if it can't be done, or done without compromising the T1 code... IMHO.

PS It would be very cool if it would/could work with the larger, newer vnt turbos out there, I've got a couple (a Garret GT and a stock Jeep Liberty) that use the same kind of actuator, but the rest are some kind of hydraulic(oil) actuation. Anyway, just an afterthought...

There are a number of non-Chrysler turbos that are VNT, those used on the Duramax and PowerStroke, as well as the Cummins, and other odd-balls I've mentioned above, but most would need some kind of PWM to control the hydraulic actuators, if that could be done, that would be very cool indeed! Always wanted a "Jake Brake" on my gas engine!

Any more progress?

Actually, I was justtrying to get caught back up with it. It's been too long since I looked at it. I had to remember hwere I was...
Sweet!!! when I get my chip converter back i'll start testing.
Also a huge thanks
