Part No: #23296

OVERVIEW

Based on MoTeC's GPR Rotary Package, the GPR Rotary Drag Package is a versatile tuning platform that has been developed for drag racing applications using rotary engines.

This single product can be configured over a huge range of rotary engine configurations, from controlling a simple, naturally aspirated 13B to a multi-throttle, boosted quad rotor with 4 stages of fuel injection.

Included in GPR Rotary Drag are numerous ancillary features common to race cars, such as:

  • Anti-lag
  • Driver switches (e.g. pit switch, launch enable and boost limit)
  • Gearbox control
  • Knock control
  • Intercooler sprays
  • Launch control
  • Gearbox coolant pumps
  • Traction control

Key features for drag racing include:

  • Time based trims and compensations
  • Improved large turbo boost building for launch
  • Traction control for vehicles with torque converters
  • "Two Step" Launch
  • Individual cylinder exhaust temperature fuel trim
  • Suspension position with 1000Hz logging capability

Also accommodated are many systems found on modified road vehicles, such as air conditioning.

The product fully integrates with other MoTeC products, and provides pre-defined CAN messaging for all current Displays, Loggers, Video Capture Systems, PDMs, E888, GPS, ADR, BR2, and SLM. A Vector database (.dbc) file is available on request.

ECU VARIANTS

This Package is available for use with MoTeC's M130, M150, M170 and M190 ECUs. A pin-out example for the M130 follows.

VEHICLE COMPATIBILITY

This product also includes CAN messaging for OE vehicle integration with the Mazda RX8. This enables OE vehicle systems such as power steering, ABS, TPMS, transmission and instrument cluster information.

ROTARY DRAG SPECIFIC FEATURES

The GPR Rotary Drag Package is based on MoTeC’s GPR Rotary Package with the addition of these rotary engine-specific features:

  • Additional Vehicle Speed and Race Time conditions on auxiliary outputs.
  • Auxiliary output fuel and ignition trims.
  • Boost Servo system - utilise a servo motor to control a wastegate, or use an additional throttle servo to bleed boost air from the compressor. This can assist with compressor surge, act as a blow off valve or control boost with higher response.
  • Clutch position threshold for Launch condition - can be updated with a switch, for drag vehicles with a clutch and critical ‘bite’ position.
  • Improved tuning resolution for highly tuned engines.
  • Improved sensor and calculation resolution critical to drag racing.
  • Individual rotor fuel trim for respective exhaust temperature.
  • Warnings with engine speed and throttle limits for Primary, Secondary, Tertiary and Quatarnery Injector Duty Cycle.
  • Support for automatic transmission gear detection and converter slip monitoring.
  • Gear Output Shaft Speed fuel and ignition trims, plus throttle and boost limits.
  • Closed Loop Control of engine torque by changing the ignition timing used for Traction Control and Launch Control. By varying ignition timing rather than cutting ignition events, turbo lag on large turbos is reduced.
  • Improved Launch Control for more vehicle configurations - faster boost building, multi step staging, nitrous integration and Traction Control integration.
  • Improved Nitrous Control - bottle pressure warning and additional conditions for use during Launch Control and time after launch.
  • Improved Race Time triggering strategy - more configurable, false start detection and reset, and integration with Traction Control for acceleration limiting.
  • Improved Traction Control using ignition timing control. Wheel speed or engine speed based limiting for use with automatic transmissions.
  • Shift Light Output
  • Additional sensor inputs:
    • Suspension Position x 4, logging at 1000Hz (with optional Level 3 logging).
    • Transmission Temperature x 2
    • Transmission Pressure x 2
    • Tyre Pressure x 4
    • Tyre Temperature x 4
    • Wheelie Bar Pressure x 2
  • Transmission brake control with improved 'bump' functionality (pulse or PWM modes) for perfect vehicle staging.
  • Vehicle Speed based fuel and ignition trims and throttle limit.
  • Vehicle Speed Estimate calculation utilising wheel speeds, GPS speed and time based speed after launch. Different modes of estimation for various vehicle setups.
  • Wastegate pressure control by CO2 style dual solenoids and pressure feedback.
  • Live adjustment for tyre growth with speed.

GPR ROTARY FEATURES

The following features from MoTeC's GPR Rotary Package are maintained in the GPR Rotary Drag Package:

Rotary Specific
  • Operates port injected rotary engines from 1 to 4 rotors.
  • Configurable engine synchronisation modes for common rotary engines. Refer to the Engine Speed Modes section for details.
  • Configurable leading and trailing ignition outputs for each rotor. The trailing ignition timing can be defined as either an angle relative to the leading ignition (i.e. split angle) or TDC.
  • Configurable on-board knock detection for each rotor with up to two assignable knock sensors and 4 selectable centre frequencies.
  • Control of up to eight injectors in 4 injector stages per rotor with user definable tables to control the fuel contribution of each injector.
  • Coolant and engine oil temperature compensations for engine speed limiting, ignition timing, fuel volume and boost limiting.
  • Supports control of a Sequential Shutter Valve with fuel injector integration as found on the Mazda RX8.
  • Supports control of VFAD, VDI and APV inlet manifold valves found on Mazda rotaries.
  • Diagnostic checking of SSV, VFAD, VDI and APV valves via feedback position sensors.
  • User configurable engine efficiency table with adjustments based on the state of the SSV, VFAD, VDI and APV valves.
  • Supports control of a stepper motor-based Metering Oil Pump. This includes diagnostics and a warning system to detect failure of the components.
  • Supports dual speed cooling fans via three relay outputs as found on Mazda rotaries.
  • CAN Integration, for the Mazda RX8, to enable the operation of the power steering, transmission and ABS. Wheel speeds, steering angle, fuel tank level, tyre pressure monitoring and park brake data are also received from the CAN bus for use in the ECU.
General Purpose
  • Closed loop lambda control support; requires optional LTC with Bosch LSU4.9 sensor or LTCN with NTK sensor.
  • Physical settings for engine displacement, fuel properties, and injector characteristics allow for simplified engine start-up prior to tuning.
  • Fast and easy engine tuning using engine efficiency map.
  • Engine load modelling based on inlet manifold pressure and inlet manifold temperature. Alternatively, throttle position can be used, for example, when using individual throttle bodies.
  • Differential pump output with user definable differential temperature control.
  • Transmission pump output with user definable transmission temperature control.
  • Traction Control with tables for Aim Main, Aim Compensation and Control Range.
  • Vehicle speed measurement using wheel speed sensors, estimation or GPS.
  • Vehicle Speed Limit Control system (DBW throttle-based), which can also be used for pit speed limiting.
  • Configurable warning system with light and CAN output.
  • Auxiliary time system with tables for ignition timing compensation, fuel volume trim and fuel mixture aim.
  • Supports both sequential and batch fire fuel injection.
  • GPS acquisition and logging via CAN or RS232.
  • 4 auxiliary outputs for PWM control of added actuators:
    • Duty cycle tables using Engine Speed and Throttle or Manifold Pressure Axes.
    • Activation based on Inlet Manifold Pressure or Throttle Position.
    • Auxiliary Output 1 includes tables for Ignition Timing Compensation, Fuel Volume Trim and Mixture Aim.
