Certainly there are improvements to be made, just advocating the general idea of using a boost target and a feedback loop. |

Ahhaha programming drives me nuts. I've never had a knack for it. I'll stick with the hardware/electronics side of things.

Yep. You could have any boost at any combination of rpm and throttle position, within the limits of the system. You could set it up any way you like, and alter it as needed when you upgrade in the future. It's a pretty exciting idea really.

The idea here is to have a kit that requires no additional purchases that we can just hook up and have it work. You buy a list of parts and put it together. We would make available the code with instructions on how to load it. I bet there would be members who would build them for a small price for those who either can't or don't want to.

That's easy. I expect I'll have the hardware prototype ready to test in a couple weeks depending on my free time and motivation.
I'm currently running Unichip and I think this is a great idea. It supports this type of mapping, it's already getting the most of the data needed, and could probably directly output a control signal to the motor controller. If I recall correctly its $200 for the tunner software/hardware. Not bad if I knew for sure I could get it to work.

Why not a Microsquirt. Literally 200 $ and you could output one of the ignition channels or whatever and have lots of additional output or inputs for other toys.

Is this more of a programming exercise than an automotive engineering one?
