EM: Engine management

[Tobert]

Planned engine management is Megasquirt since it's supported, open source and uses no exotic components.

Are you going to piggyback it to keep TOD or come up with a separate TOD controller? I've read that you can run a second megasquirt with different firmware to do automatic transmission control, so it's possible that it could run TOD. Since they ported the firmware back to C, any reasonably competent C programmer (with some embedded experience) should be able to make it fly.

Most people just piggyback though.

The 5-speed manual won't require any input, but the TOD control will use a manual override as on other rally VX's with pre-set torque splits.

For those wanting more power but are concerned with the durability of the 4L30E, take a look at the '04 TOD Axiom and Rodeo which use an Aisin tranny to handle the additional power of the direct injection engines. It's quite beefier than the 4L30E.
