I'll provide some info from the EMS side on this new unit.
Here is some brief info since the beginning of the product from Scott A.
Our 1996 Dodge Viper GTS test car fired up on the EMS yesterday afternoon. Getting a new application running for the first time is a big milestone but there's a lot more work to be done.
It starts, idles and revs clean. I'm working right now on getting the speedometer to work. The first attempt at a circuit to control the speedo didn't quite pan out but I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is. Hopefully I'll have it back on the dyno and working Monday morning.
Honestly, I'm a little further behind than I expected to be at this point and there's many challenges still ahead including thermal design issues with the ignition drivers (we're driving the coils direct on this one ) and alternator voltage regulator IC. We've begun design work on the new enclosure as well.
Just a brief follow-up:
Speedometer is working now along with all other accessories. Got a ballpark tune-up in it that's very driveable. It actually idles better than stock! The factory runs it really lean at idle. It's amazing what a little fuel will do .
We're basically done with the initial vehicle testing and are moving on to the production board design process. If all goes well, within 4-5 weeks, we should have the production prototype in testing. Thermal design and durability testing follows and if no significant design changes are necessary, production quantities should be available 4-5 weeks later. If any significant design changes are necessary, tack on another 4 weeks or so. So far still looking good for being finished before Christmas.
