Re 8051 EFI

[John Dammeyer]

Hi Paul,

You can do a capable Fuel Injection system with a 8051 variant that includes CD Ignition
for a four cylinder Engine. I used the Philips 80C592 with built in CAN running at 16MHz.
If you check out my WEB site at http://www.autoartisans.com/ign-pic.htm you will see a
description and a few photos describing the progress.  There is still more to do on this
project which includes a new Dashboard PC program that shows dual engine status at the
same time and adds far more error reporting and diagnostics.  (We've had some problems).

I'm thinking of doing a six cylinder version for my Jeep Cherokee since the 1987 Jeep was
the first one with the inline Six and Fuel Injection and it lets me try a Six Cylinder
engine in preparation for six cylinder Lycoming Aircraft Engines.  For the six cylinder
I'll switch over to a C167C processor which means a new compiler etc.  If the client
doesn't fund this I may just do the design myself (and therefore own the board design) and
make the board available to the DIY-EFI group.


Cheers,

John Dammeyer
