Very well written. I'm proud to read about your mother, yourself, and your family. God Bless the fallen.

Oh yeahhhhhhh

We are going to try it. The logic makes sense but as they say, "One good test is worth a thousand expert opinions." That is the idea, with the AMS knowing what gear the trans is in, it knows how much and how quickly to apply it. If all goes well, there will be a second version which integrates the Bosh 5.3 traction control. This would allow the car to have a binary control of boost. On wheel spin, the system is designed to regulate (dump) boost using a PWM type valve to adjust the blower's built in bypass valve. However, since the car is turbocharged the system is unable to regulate boost. Using the AMS's reduction input and the PWM signal from the PCM a bridge can be created, restoring functionality back to the traction control system.

If anyone needs a PCB for this, I have extras from the proto cut.

You might want to spray the board with a sealant to protect against condensation. What are you doing for a power supply?

Top brass in Signals won't let it happen....

He was much more passionate, not to mention, entertaining then the majority of the staff.

Good to hear, do you have Tommy Georgiades for any of your classes?

DeVry is not much of a college experience....

Looks great Doug!

Yup, this being more OEM like, "hands off." There are time and shift based controls to accomplish the same goal, but for a slushbox street warrior, automated control based on gear position is a better option, IMO. e.g. Some turbos hit hard, with a huge change in torque in a very small amount of time. With some testing you can find a happy medium of bringing the boost on quickly without complete wheelspin: First gear may be only to handle 1psi/sec with a max of 4psi Second might take 4psi/sec and 10psi max Third & fourth hopefully takes 8psi/sec with a final setting of 15psi The new AMS software allows you to save different settings, so you can have a variety of profiles: street tires & pump gas, street tires & race gas, slicks & pump gas, and slicks & race gas.

The idea behind this comes from two things: -An AMS 1000 Boost Controller which can use a 0-5 volt input to build profiles (boost ramp rate & target psi) for different gears. -The majority of late model GM trans's having PCM Low Side (Grounded) control of the shift solenoids. The purpose of this circuit is to read the shift solenoid states and translate to a 0-5V output based on current gear. In other words: 1V = 1st Gear, 2V = 2nd Gear, 3V = 3rd Gear, 4V = 4th Gear. When used with the AMS1000, the functionality of tailoring how quickly boost comes on (Psi/sec) and what boost level (target Psi) on a gear to gear basis has been added. Cost to build: ~15$ for components (DigiKey) ~60$ Completed with ABS Box, Weatherpack Connectors & TXL Crosslinked S.A.E.

The VG30 is a good motor for its time. Why not do an NA-T Conversion with Megasquirt?

If you can be waterboarded, be thankfull (someone followed the ROE)

I know of someone in the BMW world selling theirs for 1175$, I can get in touch with him if need be.

I'm full of fail today.

Interesting, I was expecting a bolt.

E36 M3 or 325IS

Depends on how much restriction the factory exhaust is at your power level.
