So I just cracked-open my IMS flange....

^ right there. You see what happen when you group together. Brilliant ideas comes together. Team work and knowledge sharing is a killer. Works.

By using this online sharing method we'd average the ideal vibration freq (range?) in less than a month. Brilliant idea, software updates is a must I agree.

Markus, RE your question about what-is-not-is-breaking; the vibration spectrum analysis (aka algorithm) would be entirely to the m-eng’s discretion. Often highly safeguarded lines of codes but relatively easy to do; being proprietary to Porsche’s IMS only would make it even simpler to develop. To my knowledge not 2 freq are the same.

Not a vibration engineer myself but know for sure that low/high frequency accelerations would be much different from a failing coil pack to an “isolated” grinding metal frequency. Which is, in a few words, what makes this vibration analysis tool (concept) so efficient and literally unbeatable. Boeing, military contractors, and Co, wouldn’t use the technology if it wouldn’t.

Chain slacks monitoring could also work (I’m less aware/exp) but nothing as close and scientifically efficient or reliable as real-time vibration analysis. I do see the data of both being merged for better output however. I mean why not!

But wait! How can we make money off of this?

Simple as pie.

I'll became the official distributor for Europe and will be millionaire within 1 year. I think there will be a big demand. But it also will be a lot of work. As said, i like the idea.

Best would be it is a Bluetooth connected sensor that communicates with your mobile. If there is something wrong you'll get a message on your mobile. Or Siri calls you in the morning at 9:00 and tells you there might something wrong with your car. And next you can ask for a workshop near you to check the problem or you'll get a recommendation for an workshop.

BTW: if we can measure vibration we could also integrate an alarm system if your car is moved without your permission. OK that would mean not only Bluetooth but www connection…

Many options…

Hey Markus

Today you can see (as affordable) compute having as fast as 1.2GHz. e.g. cortex A9 CPUs, 1GB of RAM built-in Wi-Fi and bluetooth. Extremely fast & powerful and retail for less than $100. Cost much less when “pre-ordered” in qty. So.... technically if the car is in range with your residential wifi or 4G hotspot, it is essentially LIVE capable. Your options and creativity is limitless at that point.

FauxDiablo - Properly relayed using a decent microcontroller this thing also can cut your ignition 1,000ms faster than your engine have time to grenade itself See it as a real-time Porsche Engine heartbeat. IMS is the main priority and issue but also think anything else out of the regular ‘ticking’ curve. Powerful stuff, seen/read about it before on some million $ machine tool, airplanes, weapon dist systems(quite an important feature lolll), but never seen this sort of telemetry on any cars and I think Porsche owners wants some. Judging from the obsession toward the bloody bearing and slight little ticking noises anyway.

Need 2 piezoelectric accelerometers (analyses each other,see;quality only!)
Extensive backend coding + Management, reporting, automation + GUI

The rest is hands on Porsche proprietary data collection and analysis and that’s it really. Not all space science. Tech that works already, ported to handheld devices, etc etc
