Re: New Shift Kit Developed

Harvey,

When looking at the board which bares the words “Slick Shift” V11”, and which you describe as your final production model, please indicate the components which deliver a regulated 4.5 volts to be switched onto the TCU control line, as per you original text below. Here you specify a requireiment for two regulated voltages.
This part of your design has always confused me.
Also which resistor is inserted into the A control line?


It uses a LM741 Op-Amp configured as a comparator, comparing a regulated set voltage to the Throttle Position Sensors voltage. When the TP voltage reaches 1.8 V the Op-Amp sets to turn on a transistor to operate a DP/DT relay. One half turns the TCUs Torque Control line off the ECU and on to a regulated 4.5V, that it can pull up and down happily. The other side of the relay inserts a resistor in the A solenoids control line to limit its signal to 5%. This action keeps both the ECU/TCU from posting trouble codes.

No.
I am sure you can work it out when you by one.

I am confident that my money would not buy/purchase, an unadulterated example. I will pass the offer by.

In reference to the above two posts. I agree with Matt (immortal_suby) here. Trevor, you offer nothing but conjecture and assumptions when it comes to Harvey's product. If you are SO SURE that he has done what you said and you TRULY wanted to help the community rather than harm Harvey you would purchase one of these, and dissect it for your proof. Until you do this, your claims hold no merit. All you do by continuing your baseless assumptions and accusations is discredit yourself. So by all means, carry on.
I note that one point was omitted and there has still been no comment regarding, the post as below which appears on your opposition's site and illustrates a severe breach of privacy. The post also records close, official secret co-operation with a site, which many here will consider an abhorrent SVX venue.

"The thread has been deleted. RSVX posted up a photo shot of our forums admin panel showing all of Fasters IP's along with a photo of their admin panel with Trevors IP's. Needless to say, Perfect match".

If you want to discuss something with me outside of the scope of this thread, by all means PM me. But to touch on it briefly, you are the ONLY person I hear from regarding this, so yes the masses must truly be speaking.

Back to my comment, about your methods and intentions. A response would be appreciated, but is clearly not expected.

I didn't really want to get involved here. But after this statement I felt I had to. I feel that both Harvey and Trevor are valuable assets to this community. But I also am tired of the constant bickering between the two. I'm not sure what happened in the past to start this feud, but I truly wish it could be settled and we could all move on.

However, I do agree with Trevor on this point, I really don't see how it was appropriate to share his personal information with any other organization. I understand if laws were broken and there was an official investigation, but for anything less than that I'm very disappointed that you are so easily willing to release this information.

On your first point. Thats all we ALL want, period. Nothing more to say on that one.

No personal information was shared. IP addresses are public. That is the only information that has changed hands.

Good work Harvey, that's a nice looking board.

I've been looking at it and I think I must have misunderstood your previous explanation. I was thinking that the QC actually generated its own duty cycle for solenoid A. But from looking at the picture, I'm fairly sure I was wrong about that. Unfortunately the technical explanations have become lost in amongst all the fighting.

I see an Op-Amp, a relay, a V-reg, a transistor and a few resistors, diodes and capacitors. A fairly straightforward analogue circuit. As you said K.I.S.S.

Am I right in thinking that the below is a reasonably accurate description of how the QC works?

1) The Op-Amp circuit causes the relay to close when the voltage signal exceeds the pre-set level.

2) When the relay closes, two things happen:

2a) The torque control line is held high to prevent the ECU from reducing engine power during shifts.
2b) A fixed resistance is inserted into the Sol A line to reduce the voltage (Amplitude) of the duty cycle sent by the TCU.

?

Re: New Shift Kit Developed

Has anyone been able to make a run with the QC to see if there are any measurable performance gains (i.e. quicker passes)?

Re: New Shift Kit Developed

I am making some 1/8 mile runs as soon as I get my QC,within the next two weeks,performance gains maybe greater since my svx is fwd also I am going to dyno her also.
