hughdogz Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I want to use a Wolf output to output the MAP signal so that it can be datalogged. Is there a way through either Wolf's General purpose output or the multi-controller output to output a 0-5V signal that can be used by an Innovate datalogger? I'm planning on using an LM-1 and an LMA-2 rpm converter hooked up to the Wolf to do my initial tuning, and install a more robust, permanent data logging setup (sensors and gages) at a later time... At minimum, I need to log load% (MAP), RPM and AFR. Thanks, -hughdogz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators RTz Posted March 13, 2008 Administrators Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hugh, I'm not aware of any easy/direct way to do that. Two options are to use an external MAP and either use it for Wolf's load sensor, or correlate the internal to the external. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughdogz Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Master Ron, thanks for the advice! I have an LMA-3 I can use as an external MAP. It shouldn't be too difficult to figure out how to correlate the two MAP sensors. I just need to install the LMA-3 and tee the manifold pressure signal. Good times!

ktm Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hugh, before you expend too much energy in this endeavor, I would seriously look at Wolf's logging capabilties for their input channels. I tried logging my knock sensor as well as AFR voltage from my O2 sensor and Wolf could log the individual channels. I could never get it to show me the data.

hughdogz Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hi Bo, Maybe I'm reading your reply wrong (or vice-versa).... I'm hoping to use Innovate as the only data logger, and not get into any Wolf data logging. Plus, I didn't upgrade to the newer V500 that supports better datalogging, etc. (we know Wolf datalogging is weak, but the EMS control is incredible) I'm going to try to follow in your footsteps :hail:and use the spreadsheet method (or maybe Logworks2) to determine the new injector opening time based on lambda AFR. I really appreciate all your guys' support! I'm getting so close (yet I'm still so far) that it hurts! lol.

ktm Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 If you have an LMA-3, you do not need the Wolf MAP signal. I was looking at doing exactly what you want to do when I had just the LC-1, except I wanted the RPM signal as well. The LMA-3 has both RPM and MAP, so you will not need the LMA-2 RPM converter. I use Logworks to calculate my new injector opening times based on the fuel map and measured AFRs. I can share the formula in Logworks that I use.

I use the sensor output, and ground signal to feed the innovate and also hooked up The taco output from the wolf to feed log works. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughdogz Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 ....The taco output from the wolf. Now that's funny! Humor aside, I appreciate the advice crazyturbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 is the taco output wire the pink one!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughdogz Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 is the taco output wire the pink one!? Nah, the wolf's taco output is the dark-brown color "number two" ought gage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyturbo347 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Now that's funny! Humor aside, I appreciate the advice crazyturbo. sorry for the spelling..but i'm glad you found it funny:biggrin: I think it is purple.......... on the V500:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughdogz Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 No worries! Crazyturbo, when can we see some videos or more pictures of your racecar? Thanks, -Hugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyturbo347 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 No worries! Crazyturbo, when can we see some videos or more pictures of your racecar? Thanks, -Hugh I dont know how to up load ...it wont let me if you want i will send you my map so you can see how i scaled the map in sensor setup.

Careless Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 hughdogz, why is it that you always spell racecar backwards? we're all about proper punctuation and the english speaking/typing language here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughdogz Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 :lmao:Haha! Good one Careless. You got me...I looked back at my post and you're right racecar was spelled backwards! My favorite is "Mad Dog" spelled backwards. Every time I took a slug off our shoplifted Mad Dog 20 / 20's in high school, I'd say the name backwards, lol.
