The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.
The Volkswagen (Well, I have seen one -- the one I have here -- in a Mercedes too, but...) TDI system, what do those wires that go to the pump control? I am just wondering how hard would it be to get one of those pumps working under MS.
Don't know about that, but I have some self study info about tdi diesel engines. If you're interested I can mail them to you.

Hi,
I'd be very interested too, especially any more info on the Bosch VE-EDC / VP37 pump as fitted to lots of Rover cars and the Land Rover 300tdi auto Discovery.
The injected fuel quantity can be continually varied between zero and maximum. By means of an angle sensor (Hall short-circuiting-ring sensor, HDK), information on the angle of rotation of the actuator and therefore on the setting of the control collar with respect to the cutoff ports, is reported back to the ECU and used to calculate the correct fuel quantity as a function of engine speed.
I presume it will also be a function of load, signalled from the TPS, MAP (and MAF although I'm not sure on the latter)
As I understand it the solenoid control works as the governor would in a mechanical system.
I am struggling to find much about the HDK sensor other than it would seem to operate on an AC signal.
I am trying to track down a copy of the Bosch books
Injection timing device is partially similar system as in the mechanical controlled VE-pump: Pump's internal fuel pressure is proportional to the pump speed. Fuel-pressure-controlled hydraulic piston turns the timing ring under the cam plate. In EDC, electrical solenoid valve bleeds fuel out from on that piston. Fully opened valve results later later start of injection point, and fully closed valve (full pressure on the piston) will result earlier point of injection start.
So the injection timing signal is not a timed to any specific event more of a variable control (PWM) to adjust the base mechanical timing.
Injection advance will reported back to the ECU with inductive needle motion sensor.
together with info from the crank sensor
Has anyone got any papers or anything showing waveforms & timings etc or done any logging?
or any info from the Bosch technical books would be very much appreciated
