Audi Tri Tach / Triple trigger, whats the status now?

Post by eMTea »

Hi!

I've been off the forums for a while, after selling my project car, so I've not kept up with the progress or status of the Tri-Tach or triple trigger for audi flywheel system.

Is it possible to get this working, or would you recommend me not to try?

The ECU is a MS3X 3.57, and will be updated to the newest firmware.
Engine is a Audi 4.2 V8 32v (engine code ABH)
-MS3X, (V3 PCB) 1.2 RC 1 firmware. Controlling a light modified Audi 1.8TQ AEB 20v engine with Holset HE221W turbo, 299.4 HP and 400Nm at the hubs in Dynapack.

Any update on this? I have a customer that would like to use this mode on his Alfa with a 130T flywheel, flywheel ref sensor and a modded one tooth distributor for a cam sensor. Any way there could be a option that uses one of the Pro VR inputs for the cam sensor?

The code appeared to work on the bench during development, but on-engine testing seemed unreliable. Remote debug and development isn't easy.
If anyone _does_ have it running successfully please do post here because I've only heard to the contrary.

Hi James,

I'm in a similar situation as OP. Is there any improvement with signal reliability (whether empirically shown or not) with the MS3Pro gen1 versus the MS3X? It seems like the board is a more modern design and etc.
