Looking for a developer for a project im working on.....

Im working on an automotive application. More specifically my project is to fabricate a turbo from a 6.0L ford diesel to fit onto a 7.3L Diesel. Fabricating is no problem for me. What i need help on is this: the 6.0L turbo is a VGT turbo, meaning it has vanes that change when desired by the computer. The turbo has a solenoid which is controlled by a PWM signal and uses oil pressure in the turbo to adjust.

Im in need of a controller that uses a few sensor inputs such as crank/rpm, exhaust backpressure, cooant temp, throttle position, and map/boost. It will use those inputs to calculate engine load and open or close the turbo vanes as desired.

The 6.0 turbo is a much superior design over the 7.3 and widely available. There is a market for a product like this not only for the 7.3 diesel guys looking to upgrade performance, but for other VGT turbos also used on chevy and dodges. Im not looking just to have this for myself on my truck, but once perfected to produce and sell these as part of a kit or even available by themselves. VGT turbos are the new thing, they offer much better overall performance than a conventional turbo and many diesel guys will be looking for a way to add these to an older truck.

Please email me or message me for further discussion.
Thanks, Russ

I'm not sure that this is even possible. 8)

What role with the Arduino play? Maybe carry a sound card with a laugh track triggered at random intervals?

Now there are doves involved? Strange project.

Ignore @PaulS's attempts at humour - he does have the occaisonal good day :slight_smile:

If you want someone else to develop code for you (rather than develop it yourself) you should ask in the Gigs and Collaborations section.

You may find it difficult to get that done simply because the developer probably needs access to the hardware in order to test the software.

Another issue is whether you have access to data that let's you know the software is working properly - and how it should fail safely.
