That is wicked. Would you ever be interested in developing an open source ECU platform?
I feel like there is a hole in the market for affordable and hackable ECUs. You could monetize it by selling the hardware boards I guess.
There are some projects out there already but none of them seemed usable for a full size track car at the time, and the issue was still a lack of suitable hardware to run it on. Idealy you could just buy a board with a generic wiring harness for ~$300, and have an open extensible platform for engine management in the software. Kind of like the ecosystem for flight controllers for drones.
- bri3d 5y agoHave you looked at RusEFI? It's definitely usable for a full sized track car at this point, and their hardware looks pretty smart and reasonable to me. I haven't actually used or contributed to it yet, but I plan to buy a unit and see where I get as I am working to convert my old 280GE from K-Jetronic to EFI.
