ALS feature request for sound developement

Post by julian944 »

Hi,

I'm working with Ms3X and i try to achieve some nice exhaust popping, just for sound reasons. I don't want to have it's popping all the time just for a short period after I lift the throttle (able to switch it on off), simular the way most modern turbo cars do it like mini, bmw (sport button). Therefore the als feature is brillant but I miss one option. I don't want to activate it again just after time (because then it popps say every 10s), I need a setup where als only gets activated again after load exceeds a given value.

What do you thing about it?

I need an option for als activation exceeding a given load value. One more thing useful is allow negative values for addedfuel in ALS, but I can do that myself in the mainController.ini also.

One more question about this is. How does ALS go together with overrun fuel cut. I know for regular ALS makes no sense at all. But for this application it would also be useful. If I say 2sec delay in overrun it should work or is there any connection between these features? But I guess these features work independent, so should be no problem right?

Regards Julian

For people that want that sound effect i do it in a simpler way.
Long enough delay on overrun fuel cut. If include AFR target is cheked, low AFR in the overrun part og AFR table. From 2000-3000rpm up maybe.
Lowest possible advance in the same part as the AFR table is rich. It have worked on every turboengine I have tryed.
To make it switchable you can use tableswitch.

Thank you for your answers. I already do it the way you explained here. But one advantage of using ALS would be to use spark cut. Besides that I think it is a prober solution with more possibilites. I don't know how much work it would be to put in a TPS threshold for reactivation. But I would really appreciate it.
