Recreational vehicle two-stroke engine control systems configured for location-based modification of an engine calibration may include a locator device, a throttle position sensor, and an engine speed sensor communicatively coupled to an engine control unit. The engine control unit controls a position of an exhaust valve based on a first calibration map and an input from the sensors. The engine control unit also determines, based on a location of the vehicle, a second calibration map. The engine control unit controls a position of an exhaust valve based on a second calibration map and an input from the sensors. Controlling the two-stroke engine to operate the exhaust valve at the second exhaust valve position may improve the engine run-quality, performance, efficiency, or the like.

Location-based modification of two-stroke engine calibration

A system for a vehicle has an oil supply, an engine oil pump comprising a plurality of ports and an engine coupled to the plurality of ports. A turbocharger is coupled to the engine. A turbocharger oil pump is coupled to the oil supply comprising a first port coupled to the turbocharger.

Turbocharger lubrication system for a two-stroke engine

A turbocharger and method of controlling the same includes a turbine housing comprising an inlet and an outlet, turbine wheel coupled to a shaft. The turbine housing comprising a first scroll and a second scroll for fluidically coupling the inlet and the turbine wheel. The first scroll has a first end adjacent the inlet and a second end adjacent the turbine wheel. The second scroll has a third end adjacent the inlet and a fourth end adjacent the turbine wheel. An exhaust gas diverter valve is coupled to the turbine housing restricting flow into the first scroll or the second scroll.

Turbocharger system for a two-stroke engine

A method and system for controlling a wastegate comprises determining a boost pressure target, measuring a boost pressure, determining a boost pressure error from the measured boost pressure and the boost pressure target, determining a wastegate position change based on boost pressure error, and changing the wastegate position corresponding to the wastegate position change.

Method and system for controlling a turbocharged two stroke engine based on boost error

A system and method of controlling a turbocharged engine system includes receiving a boost mode selection signal and controlling the turbocharged engine system in response to the boost mode selection signal.

Turbocharger system for a two-stroke engine having selectable boost modes

A method and system for controlling operation of a two-stroke engine having a turbocharger includes the two-stroke engine comprising an electronically controlled exhaust valve. A throttle position sensor generates a throttle position signal corresponding to a position of a throttle plate of a throttle. A boost box is coupled to the two-stroke engine. A boost box pressure sensor is coupled to the boost box and generates a boost box pressure signal corresponding to a pressure within the boost box. A controller is coupled to the boost box pressure signal controlling a position of the electronically controlled exhaust valve in response to the boost box pressure signal and the throttle position signal.

System and method for controlling operation of a two-stroke engine having a turbocharger

An exhaust system includes a housing comprising a first housing portion and a second housing portion separated by a common wall. The first housing portion has a first exhaust passage therethrough. The first exhaust passage has a first inlet receiving exhaust gasses from a turbocharger. The second housing portion has a second exhaust passage therethrough. The second exhaust passage has a second inlet receiving gasses from an exhaust bypass valve. The first passage and the second passage are non-intersecting within the housing.

Two-passage exhaust system for an engine

A system and method of operating the same includes an engine speed sensor determining an engine speed, an exhaust gas bypass valve, an exhaust gas bypass valve actuator coupled to the exhaust gas bypass valve and a controller. The controller partially opens the exhaust gas bypass valve with a first predetermined effective area greater than fully closed when the engine speed is at idle. The controller determines an acceleration event, holding the exhaust gas bypass valve open at least a second predetermined effective area greater than fully closed in response to the acceleration event.

Exhaust gas bypass valve control for a turbocharger for a two-stroke engine

An exhaust system for a vehicle including a deep snow exhaust outlet defined by a driveline structural member of the vehicle. If the vehicle includes a turbo charger and an exhaust silencer, the turbocharger and the exhaust silencer are coupled together without exhaust piping therebetween.

Exhaust system for a vehicle

An exhaust gas diverter valve coupled within a pipe comprises a housing having a passage therethrough, a valve member rotatably coupled within the housing the valve member rotates about a valve axis. A first valve seat mat be disposed partially circumferentially within said passage and extending radially inwardly.

Exhaust gas bypass valve system for a turbocharged engine

An engine system and method of operating the same includes a two stroke engine, an exhaust manifold coupled to the two-stroke engine, a tuned pipe coupled to the exhaust manifold coupled to the exhaust manifold, a stinger pipe coupled to the tuned pipe, a silencer coupled to the tuned pipe and an exhaust pipe, and an exhaust bypass valve. Exhaust gases are directed from the two stroke engine through an exhaust manifold and through a tuned pipe. An opening of the exhaust bypass valve is changed to redirect exhaust gases away from the tuned pipe to change a pressure within the tuned pipe. In response to changing the opening of the exhaust bypass valve, the airflow through the engine is changed.

Method and system for controlling pressure in a tuned pipe of a two stroke engine

An engine system comprises a two stroke engine, an exhaust manifold, a tuned pipe coupled to the exhaust manifold and a turbocharger coupled to the engine. The turbocharger comprises a turbine inlet coupled to the exhaust manifold through the tuned pipe, and a turbine outlet coupled to an exhaust pipe. A silencer is coupled to the exhaust pipe. A bypass pipe has a first end coupled to the tuned pipe and a second end bypassing the turbine outlet and a wastegate disposed in the bypass pipe.
