PATCH: NLTS + Valet + KnockCEL

[tephra]

Hi All,



I have decided to release the NLTS patch as donation-ware. There are several reasons for this which I won't go into here but suffice to say I HOPE that people who use this do donate for the cause.

My philosophy is 'Donate what your think its worth, and what you can afford' - donation link at bottom of post

INSTRUCTIONS
http://forums.evolutionm.net/4830835-post.html Thanks Zach

WHAT YOU GET:
Knock CEL - exactly the same as my previous patch
Valet/Security Mode - This allows YOU to enforce a pre-set rev limit on the car without reflashing, great for when handing the keys over to parking attendants or even when parking in unscrupulous areas.
No lift to shift - This allows YOU to change gears without lifting off the throttle, making gear shifts slightly faster and more importantly holding more boost between each shift.

HOW DO YOU USE IT:
KnockCEL - Shouldn't need explaining!
Valet/Security Mode - Turn the ignition to ON but DO NOT start the car, hold the TPS @ 100% for the pre-set amount of time (default 10 seconds), CEL will flash when system is enabled. Same proceedure to disable.
NLTS - The system will enable when you reach the preset TPS and Speed thresholds AND press down on the clutch. It is setup to use the TOP clutch switch so you need to be very affirmative when getting on and off the clutch otherwise you will look like a tool

Personally I find the top clutch switch very sensitive - almost to the point where I am considering extending the switch (by way of a spring) so that the switch doesn't activate until the clutch is pushed a bit more down...

TESTING IT YOURSELF:
- Set the Speed to 0 km/h
- Set the TPS to 20%
- Set the RPM Drop to 1000
- Flash and start car
- Rev to 2500 RPM
- Push clutch
- Car should drop RPM to 1500 and hold it there like your stationary rev limiter...

Good stuff dave, you're going to make a lot of evo guys happy.

Wow, how do i get this patch exactly for the 94170015 ?

Hi Goosey,

Just wait a little bit for me too post up the ROM's I've done already - I am just sorting out the zip's at the moment.

Any new ROMID's that havn't been done will need to be coded up - doesn't take long but I like to dbl check everything so stay tuned

Cheers
Dave

[goosey2099]

Cool Deal!, Many Thanks

Oh man! You are definitely going to get serious brownie points with this group. If you get a ROM ID that matches mine on your list and I get this working, this payday i will more than gladly toss money via paypal. I was going to pay for this anyways. Can't wait to try it man. Kudos.

what does the NLTS actually do?
Why can't we just not lift off the pedal when shifting now? I've never tried.

Great Work

Please donate to tephra! This is not easy stuff and we need to show some financial appreciation for tephra and other like contributors that do so much work to get these awesome mods for our cars.

Nice job! Expect a donation from me soon. Is there a way to disable the NLTS?

I think he stated in an earlier post that it could be enabled/disabled in ECU flash.

Because if you mis-shift and bounce off of your rev limiter (some are in the 8K+ rpm range) You can do some serious harm to your engine. Plus its better to have your RPM's more closely matched to the starting point of your next gear. So if it rev's down to roughly 5500-6000rpm and your next gear starts at 5500rpm....its a MUCH smoother transition (rev matched). Think of it NOT as a rev limiter but more of a "rev reducer limit". Basically its safety and simplicity at once.

If you flat shift without NLTS then your engine delivers full power to the drive train - with NLTS the engine power is cut for the duration of the shift so you risk less damage to the drivetrain.

You can disable it in Ecuflash by way of setting the enable flag to 0 - in the future I want to have a button in car to enable disable it on the fly, however setting the TPS to 95% seems to be good enough for those shifts where you DON'T want to NLTS

Just set the NLTS rev limit the same as your normal rev limit and that should basically disable it.

Tephra - It is awesome that you are doing this as donation ware, I will definitely be making a donation, thanks.
