lookforjoe Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Anyone online have the correct conversion factor for the LSU4.9 with Spartan2 Controller? Wired it all, and forgot the factor I have is for the AEM controller, it's dumping gas like crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S70-R Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Hussein, I don't use Spartan but from what I could search the Spartan2 with the LSU4.9 has a 10-20AFR range corresponding to a linear 0v-5v.So, in this case I think the conversion factor would be (for the tank pressure or rear o2 channels): ((X*0.01953125)*0.5)+10Try it Edited July 10, 2015 by S70-R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S70-R Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 By the way. it would be nice to get a feedback from you about the spartan2, especially when compared to the AEM.I may be considering replacing my innovate lc-2. AEM or Spartan, one of these would be the choice most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The factor I have is x*0.0390625+10, from Piet - I believe it is correct, he just said it is unchanged. Not sure what is wrong. I used A19 to ground the electronics (black wire) so maybe I need to move that to a hard ground? I used A28(power ground) for the heater circuit EDIT: bridged A19 to A18 in the ECU (cut A19 & soldered to A18 pin) Seems to be resolved - AFR's are at least now normal for the engine during warmup. I'll do a quick run. Edited July 11, 2015 by lookforjoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S70-R Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) I dont know if Piet uses the Spartan2 but that formula is not the same as the one I've put.I'm not an electronic/electric geek but I think that the ground would not make such a difference in terms of dumping huge amount of fuel. It would differ only sightly I guess.Try the formula I put. Edited July 11, 2015 by S70-R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S70-R Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Sorry, my bad.That is indeed the correct formula. It is the same as ((X*0.01953125)*2)+10When doing the math where I put the 0.5 it is 2. 2 is basically 10AFR range / 5v.According to the pinout the A19 is:"Signal (-) rear heated oxygen sensor".A18 is:"Signal ground sensor (measured to the battery negative terminal)"So, A19 doesn't seem to be appropriate really. Actually your A19 is connected to nothing I guess. Edited July 11, 2015 by S70-R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) I like to log the current gear to aid in tuning, but wasn't able to do so when I swapped in the M66 due to the different ratios. For anyone who wants to log current gear the XRAM address is FA94 and the 'gear ratio table' is at 0x13368. For a M66C the values should be (no conversion factor):Can't figure out what parameter option (scalar, table, function) to create, and how to insert the table got this far - Edited July 11, 2015 by lookforjoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually your A19 is connected to nothing I guess.A19 is a ground, just not a regular or even standard switched ground.The system runs OK now (with A19 input bridged to A18 signal ground (ECT, TPS, CPS, OTC) , but the actual AFRs still deviate from the requested AFR's I need to move the electronics ground off the signal ground to a regular ECU ground line & see if that resolves the disparity.Spartan Controller Edited July 11, 2015 by lookforjoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdog Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Don't use A19 for your WB ground reference; it adds in an offset used for the stock O2 sensor. Use A18 and/or A42 only, which is your ECU's sensor (analog) ground. Connecting A18 to A19 or pwr grounds (i.e. A13 or A28) will likely work, but could add noise to your WB signal.I went through this very issue a few months ago and was discussed in this thread; will try to pull up the link..here it tis..http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/topic/159506-tuners-rejoice-free-tuning-for-m44/?do=findComment&comment=2378877 Edited July 11, 2015 by gdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) You guys need to have more faith in your math skills. It is really simple to figure out.The value that the ECU puts out is one bytes (hexadecimal value), so its' range is 0-255. You know that 0hex = 0V and 255hex = 5V. The spartan is 10AFR at 0V and 20AFR at 5V. Therefore, 0hex = 10AFR and 255hex = 20AFR. The output is linear, so you can represent the output by the formula y = mx +b. M = slope = rise/run = (10-20)/(0-255) = 10/255. B = y axis intercept = 10. So the final formula is (10/255)*x+10.

Looks like you already have the table created and the values adjusted. You're done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stay away from A19 as ground for whatever sensor.Don't use the A18 either, although it's a better choice then A19.Keep it simple and just ground the WB electronics to the ECU ground at A28, it's by far the best choice. I really don't understand the urge for connecting the WB ground to one if these exotic pins Edited July 11, 2015 by Piet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AEM or Spartan, one of these would be the choice most likely.Go for the Spartan 2. It's really fast, much faster then the innovate.And it uses the LSU 4.9 wich definitely is superior to the older LSU 4.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're done.I don't have any connection to "the 'gear ratio table' is at 0x13368." unless that occurs automatically (?) - I just manually entered all the values.

I really don't understand the urge for connecting the WB ground to one if these exotic pins I used A28 for the heater ground. I'll move the electronics ground (black wire) from A18 to A28. I thought they were kept separate to prevent feedback from the less discrete power ground circuits (like the heater circuit). It was also easier to use the existing harness than run new wires to the ECU I'll move the wire to A19 at the ECU connector to A28 & be done with it. I still have some wide AFR discrepancies in the short log I did after moving it to A18.On decel / trailing throttle & part throttle seems more evidient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
