Car manufacturers want their engines to produce power, while still being fuel efficient, reliable, quiet, etc. The way they accomplish this is by defining "maps" which contain modifiable parameters that the ecu will use to make decisions on how the engine should be working. In the case of the Simos18, there are both measured values and modeled values in these maps. === In short://www===The accelerator pedal tells the ecu how much torque the driver wants the engine to produce.mediawikiThat driver input is referenced against a table that defines the maximum torque available at any given RPM.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Configuration_settings Configuration settings list]* [https://wwwThat target torque value is referenced against other maps which define how much airflow, followed fuel and timing, the ecu should target to achieve the driver request torque value. == Boost management ==The replacement for displacement is boost. We can achieve impressive power levels in small displacement motors by putting turbos on them. We'll assume a working knowledge of forced induction...mediawikiIf you don't already have that, there's plenty of places to look.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:FAQ MediaWiki FAQ]* [https://listsOnce the ecu has calculated the amount of torque the driver wants, it'll use that to dictate how much boost it should try and create. The engine will convert the driver request torque value into an airflow volume. I.e.wikimediato make T torque at R rpm we need V volume of air.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce MediaWiki release mailing list]* [httpsModeled tables://wwwThe ecu has no way to calcute actual airflow.mediawikiThere's no MAF.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Localisation#Translation_resources Localise MediaWiki what it does have is PUT and MAP sensors ("PUT" stands for your language]pressure upstream throttle, vs "MAP" which you should already be familiar with.), Baro sensor, temperature sensors, etc. If you know the airflow characteristics of the turbo, you can calcute the volume of air that it flows given its output pressure. So to target V volume of air, the ecu assumes that it should target B boost pressure (PUT set point or PUT_SP) * [https://wwwBut there's more involved in choosing a PUT_SP than just modeled airflow tables.mediawikiWe also have tables that define the maximum turbo pressure ratio.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Combating_spam Learn At certain target airflow volumes and RPMs, we can tell the ecu to limit the PUT. And once we've got our PUT_SP, how to combat spam on your wiki]do we limit the boost? Wastegate duty cycle (or wastegate_sp). The Simos family of ECUs use electronic wastegate control rather than a traditional boost actuated wastegate. Typically there's a spring that will operate at a fixed boost pressure, and a boost controller will bleed off a certain amount of pressure so the spring operates at a higher boost. An electronic wastegate works by having a target position at a certain boost level. == Fueling == == Timing ==
