Infinite Valve Lift and Duration Tuning
Posted: Mon Mar 04, 2013 8:08 pm
@Hondata engineers:
I am currently developing an electronically actuated valve system. This will allow individual control of every valve at any time. I am considering using Hondata as the base ecu.
What possibilities are there for tuning this? I know there are separate maps for vtec cams, however my system will have infinite valve profiles, not just two.
Valve timing and lift will be based on engine load, rpm and demand. There will be different profiles for fuel efficiency and power, and more. Eg. early intake valve closing, opening one valve more than the other to create swirl. etc.
I imagine the computer controlling the valves may have to take over certain sensors or something along those lines.
I'd like to hear your ideas and perhaps we can work together on a solution. The plan is to market the system to.major automakers, but also as an aftermarket system, as well the primary prototype will be a b18 of some sort.
cheers
