@meso @SuperDicq ECU's do in fact automatically adjust the fuel-air mixture, but the stock settings probably to only expects so much air and/or fuel and may need adjustment.wrote 28 days ago last edited by@Suiseiseki @SuperDicq I know there's some libre ECU stuff but I wonder how hard it is to get it working on my Volvo

@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @meso@new.asbestos.cafe The Speeduino has free firmware but the only issue is that in order to tune it you probably need TunerStudio which is proprietary.
I mean in theory you can write tuning maps without it with just a text editor but that's not really realistic to do.
TunerStudio is a.jarapplication that should be easy to reverse engineer tho. I thought about doing that once but obviously couldn't be bothered to actually go through with it because it's way too much work. -

But really I don't think there's much more performance to get out of the current engine (I can only accelerate so hard anyway, otherwise the tires just start slipping) and I can just redline if I want more.
Instead I would probably make GNU/Car, with free ECU software by default. -

@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @meso@new.asbestos.cafe Yes but that imagine if from "Geoff" the home made car from Top Gear. It did not make that much power. It is an electric car with the motor taken from an airport luggage truck.

wrote 28 days ago last edited by@SuperDicq @meso Yes - the pictured car doesn't even make it to 60kph, as proprietary physics gets in the way.
With a ridiculously powerful enough engine plus some modern electric motors and batteries and a bunch of wheels (to lessen the load on each one and to enhance handling), I reckon you could make a nice stiff steel box with terrible tolerances go that fast if you don't mind it being totally uncontrollable without free software constantly adjusting how fast each wheel is spinning. -
