Re: BMW M70 in 8 series with Proteus?

so if you plan on using 3 or 4 outputs for the transmission control,
then 3 of the proteus digital outputs would be routed to the transmission harness?
and custom code will be added for the transmission outputs?

just curious

Re: BMW M70 in 8 series with Proteus?

We imagine that DME-SG I, DME-SG II and EML are no longer there and are replaced by Proteus. This means that we must either generate or respond to the following signals (from top to bottom): WK: torque converter clutch. EGS (Trani ECU) tells the two DME the status of the clutch, open or closed. ME:...

Re: BMW M70 in 8 series with Proteus?

Regarding wiring: I will make a new motor wiring harness, designed only for Proteus, completely new. The problem with the old is that the insulation is brittle and broken. This was already an issue when the engine was overhauled. The car is already 30 years old. Me too! let me know where you buy yo...

Re: BMW M70 in 8 series with Proteus?

you can rotate the ETB 180 degrees, so its pointed down. works fine either way. i got mine off two Nissan maxima v-6. the junkyards around here had 5 of them the day i showed up. very common. also, Andrey likes the distributor, but i took mine out and use LS coils . much more modern.

Re: BMW M70 in 8 series with Proteus?

notice the new ETB?
it blends right into the engine. nobody will notice that.

having removed all the spark plug wires and installed either COP or LS style coils is much more noticeable .

Re: V12 M73 to Audi trans, with Proteus in Lamborghini Replicas

Have you tried measuring the ETB while they are operating on idle?? the Jag v12 recommends the (mechanical) throttle body butterfly be open .002 inches... which is almost nothing... so the electronic throttle body is gonna have a hard time making that kind of a tight tolerance . also, did you put so...

if your crank is set to TDC, then the gap between your trigger pulse and the CPS is about 5 teeth if you look, the only thing that matters is the gap from where the trigger pulse is GREEN ARROW , and your CPS is.. BLUE ARROW the red marks are the 2 missing teeth that trigger the computer so computer...

on black 23 pin connector for crank sensor one wire is to the VR_1+ # pin 5 one wire is sensor ground (black) VR1- # pin 13 and one wire is the SHIELDING, which goes to any of the ground on the proteus , but NOT grounded to the block of the engine on the sensor side you will probably end up swapping...

Re: red 2003 VVT test mule Miata NB2 #27

does your A/C have a pressure sensor switch?? all my commercial compressors do. If the freon level is too LOW, it will not turn on the compressor.
protects the compressor from Frying out.
