i've been wrong before hahah. you should be able to command full closed position with the tool and verify if the actuator is moving that far or not. If it isn't then you start looking at the tune for some sort of max close limit in place. the ecm doesn't ask the turbo for EB mode it just says close to x point.

Either should work, the difference is normally just what pin you talk through. I'ved use 4 or 5 different boards and they all work once you get the right pin.

nope just pass the calibrate command while the actuator is on the turbo. It just tells the actuator to find the high low limits of movements. ' I personally dont believe you need to set the turbo to central position before activation. I think holset was smart enough tojust check for high and low limit of movement and use that for eb vs wide open

i've seen brand new turbos need to be calibrated. I have a friend with a diesel shop has to use his snap on tool all the time for new 6.7 turbo installs. the calibrate tool can't enable/disable, As far as I am aware of is there is no "switch" to disable the EB function in the ecm. The eb function is just a map in the ecm that tells the turbo how closed to go based on engine rpm. Here is udc pro showing the eb control on a 6.7l you could flat line the tune, but the Dealer wouldn't be able to undo that without flashing the ecm back to stock. The Dealer wouldn't flash to disable EB functions. you are guessing either way I suppose, but dont rule out a new turbo needing to be calibrated.

It was on a train in nebraska yesterday. I am going to be driving past it on my way up to canada tomorrow haha. It will be waiting for me when I get home.

you can't buy an actuator precalibrated without it being installed on the turbo. If the actuator comes off the turbo you need to calibrate once you put it back on. calibration finds the full open and full closed position of the actuator, as the motor does not have any "limits" it just spins

Nope they are a rare bird in the states. Pictures?

Just build the calibration tool,. It's less than $50 to do it. Smae thing as the dealer would do

i've wanted one to mess with, never owned one. what do you need to know? from what I understand it is a diesel converted m50 engine if it was in a e34.

If you do get one do us a favor and pull the plates apart so we can see the workings of the vanes. I dont like the seperate vanes because there are A LOT of moving parts.

you have to have some kind of short that is happening on the map wiring.

Still interested in how they do

cool stuff, but I dont like the design. the cummins / holset version is better than the powerstroke method. Wonder what the insides look like

get some 7 x .010 injectors. rv275s are much to small to get the turbo going without using a ton of duration. tuning would help, but it wont overcome a lack of mechanical injection

I would be lookin gat fuel pressure first

What codes do you get when you scan using a code scanner? whats your fuel pressure? What mods if any?

There is a PID for commanded position along with actual position, you should be able to compare. if (ID == StatusMessageID) { VgtCommandPosition = ((data[6] * 256) + data[5]); VgtRealPosition = ((data[2] * 256) + data[1]); VgtMotorCommandSpeed = data[7] - 127; VgtRawTemp = data[3]; MessageRecieved = true; The tool I built compares the two for error % and then resets if need be.

The e32 is sold and leaving my hands friday. On my route to and from the stables to see our horse there is a e28 535is that has been sitting for years. I asked to the guy yesterday to ask what was up. said it was his son's son got in an accident in another car and the car has been sitting. we will see if I get my hands on it or not. perfect DD car. It has been long fortold that the M30 series engine is actually what rotates the earth and has been since the dawn of time. It looks like this

I would build a calibration tool to see if the turbo responds to commands.

Are there any codes stored when you have the issue and read with a code scanner? Do you have anything to live data from the sensors with? You are going to have to troubleshoot some before we can give you any insight.

good video with a smart old fart. goes through the battery setup. Very interesting. Effectively Tesla has put nearly all computers and controls on the battery to centeralize things. You would pass a desired torque command to the port on the battery and it handles the rest. I wanna know the deal on the yellow truck thing in the background. As for price. A Volt would run $38,000 - $7500 federal rebate - 5000 colorado rebate = $25500. Just like computer hardware, new stuff is pricey then a few years down the road it drops. As you can see in the Video Tesla is clearly trying to move to moduler design and that will in turn lower the cost as well. That battery would fit nice just below the bed of a truck hahahah

For what it is worth, tesla has a few test mules with 500,000 miles + on them that have lost %20 of their range. That is on 18650 batteries and not the newer 21700 cells. all this is a moot point because I still don't think Liion batteries are the answer. We can improve liion but they have flaws that other battery types dont.

I understand that, but the design shows that it is actually fairly easy to replace the battery. All the issues he ran into he caused by not taking his time, buying faulty parts, and forgetfulness. It was nuts and bolts and a few plugs. I see nothing wrong with the actual process. It looks no harder than pulling an engine and trans. Again the tesla will never have to have a trans rebuild, no engine maintence like we are used to. No studs, no springs, no bearings, no sleeves, no machine work etc etc. It's all a trade off. The price of battery packs will come down as technology advances. New = $$ here is some data on Range % vs car mileage data is still young, but it looks like %10 drop aftter 150,000 miles. Guessing acceptible range % at 200,000. will most be replacing the batteries at all? https://electrek.co/2018/04/14/tesla-battery-degradation-data/ now we look at Nissan Leaf WAY worse, after a few years you are eating up a ton of life. As a comparison the telsa s has been out fo 6 year. It goes to show that the quality of the battery makes a big difference. Just like a cummins life span in miles vs a kia from the 90's And all of that is looking at technology that has been around for a decade when there were very few electric cars out there. You can bet that we will see improvement.

engine has 1 moving part, no transmission. easier in some harder in others. a lot of people can't handle electrical troubleshooting. New cars are all computers on wheels, I dont forsee much difference between a tesla troubleshooting or a 4th gen cummins. in his case on the battery it actually dropepd out easily, I would venture to say that most would just get a new battery. funny thing is I was thinking "hey better line that battery up" I see nothing in that video that suggests that the issues were not caused by him.

City routes will adopt first then as we get solid state batteries you will start to see OTR trucks as well. theirs is much better looking than tesla lol
