Yes, the Sport DME with OBD+ will eventually be the equivalent of a standalone system, but geared to the 944 and 944 Turbo, so it should be easier to tune. Ignition tuning is still in Beta but could be active in a couple of weeks if the work Joe did checks out with the specific tuner that requested this feature (more info in the major thread on RL).Mark2023 wrote: Sun Sep 04, 2022 1:40 pm Is this product's goal to become fully tunable the way a standalone ECU is? If ignition timing has been addressed are there plans for tuneable fuel tables?
The ability to buy upgrade modules like MAP sensors and support for electronic boost control would be awesome.
I know very little about the current sport DME with OBD but at the surface level, it does not seem like it will move in this direction.
But I don't know! Does anyone have the inside scoop?
Joe told me that the MAF kit could be available for beta testing around the end of the year, but we've heard that before, so one must have patience
The OBD+ currently supports the 3 bar GM sensor, and AEM, Autometer, Innovate and PLX WBO2 sensors. I know Joe plans to use an AEM controller and design his own digital gauge, but in the meantime, you can display, graph, and data log the AFR and Lambda.I believe there are plans to support things like sequential fuel injection, and possibly coil-on-plug ignition or wasted spark. All these features are/will be handled by the OBD+ module as it contains a modern 32-bit CPU compared to the 8-bit on the DME board.
Anyone can download and install the OBD+ software to check out the parameters monitored and available for viewing, graphing and data logging.
If you or anyone else wants to read the whole history of development I went through the thread on RL and compiled a Word Doc I can provide if you send me your email in a PM. It's currently about 7.5 mb, so if that's too large I could post it on my OneDrive.
