General Discussion / Shipping to Europe & HE200VG

Last post by DDM - May 05, 2023, 11:53:12 AM

Hi, I'd like to purchase a standalone but got confronted with only USA and Canada being available. I'm in Europe. Can't find direct contact info either... What to do?
Also, I will attempt to control a HE200VG with it. Couldn't find a thing about it so let's hope the CAN stuff is the same...

How long do these usually last before you are sold out again?

Can operation needs to be sniffed to verify how the turbo actually works.

For the holset actuator it takes all the same information between the units. Same address. Etc.

Garrett is undoubtably going to be different.

Actually after some further digging... this actuator is controlled per the John Deere wiring diagram with "UART". It does respond to PWM control via the unused PWM wire though.

Actuator is made by Delphi and per patent 6,864,788 B2 looks like this actuator might also accept CAN bus.

Did Delphi also design the Holset actuator? If my actuator does respond to CAN input, perhaps the commands used for the Holset actuator would work?

You should be able to use the perf output, (pin 5) as a pwm output to accomplish this.

General Discussion / Controlling PWM Actuator

Last post by SynViks - April 06, 2023, 10:58:29 PM

I was thinking about using one of these to control an S300V turbo from John Deere. It accepts a 128HZ PWM signal with duty cycle specifying vane position. There's also a UART signal that comes out of it that I've yet to decode. The actuator's setup such that it doesn't really need calibration (duty cycle bounds are defined in the arduino).

New to the Arduino environment... wondering what would be involved with modifying the code on this controller to interface with the actuator via PWM?

General Discussion / Re: 6.4 Compound VGT control?

Last post by JakeS - March 27, 2023, 03:15:39 PM

Ok I do not have a wastegate yet. The turbos that came off the 6.4 power stroke are a compound unit with a VGT on the high pressure turbo the plug for the actuator has power/ground and 2 canbus inputs. The turbos don't have a rpm sensor, so would I be able to control it off back pressure and boost? Or do I need throttle position as well?

I'm sorry I'm pretty new to the whole tuning and canbus setup trying to understand it. Compound VGTs would probably sound insane on spool up might be an idea lol

Units are up for sale on the store page, let me know if there is any issues ordering.

You'll need to add the connectors you need as well.

Is there a way to get the full sketch so I can add this in?
