Simon Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Do you need to retain the 60-2 or could this be changed to a lower tooth count like 12 or 24 teeth? Sutkale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutkale Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Do you need to retain the 60-2 or could this be changed to a lower tooth count like 12 or 24 teeth? It´s not an absolute neseccity, I could maybe get a billet crank pulley wheel with teeth incorporeted on to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutkale Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Took a scope shot from the triggers at idle after changing the cam sensor and smoothing the cam trigger wheel. Still getting some glitches on cam. A couple of questions in the scope shot with respect the cam / crank sync: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 That looks like a very good trigger 2 signal. We look at the tooth immediately after the gap and this is well clear of either edge on trigger 2. One thing you could try is setting the ECU to be group fire this will lighten the processing load on the micro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutkale Posted July 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Regarding this issue, I will install 36-1 crank trigger wheel and have a try with it. Cannot find suitable 24 or 12 teeth wheel that would fit auxilliary drive belt pulley. Howerver, I managed to get little progression with this by changing the position of cam wheel, by enabling occassional trigger error free runs on a neutral gear revving that wasn´t the case before.Maybe a bit off topic, but have anyone else encountered any issues on a occasion where you try to capture a scope log from a trigger on a high revs and at the same time lap top disconnects? This was repeatable many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Kriedeman Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) Hi Sutkale,losing communication from ECU to LAPTOP is normally a good indication you are either,1. Running non resistored plugs2. Fouled or partially fouled sparkplugs.3. Noise from alternator or ignition sources , referring to HT noise, ignition triggering signals especially if using a CDI unit.RegardsDave.

I have got resistor plugs, changing of plugs doesn´t have any difference. Autronic´s CDI cables are twisted even though manufacturer states this is not neseccary. Alternator might be a source for issues, maybe for trigger issues also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Kriedeman Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Hi Sutkale,I cant really remember it has been some time since I have used a 500 R, but I am sure that the use of resistored plugs is not advisable.Are any of the output wires from the CDI to the coils near the trigger wiring,or is your tuning usb cable near the CDI unit or wiring.RegardsDave.

Tuning cable and ECU are in the cockpit and CDI unit in the engine compartment, thus pretty far away from each other.This ECU and laptop break up gave me an idea to put ferrite beads around the power cables to see what type of an effect this has and wheter it would be of a help to trigger issues. Furthermore, I will put some aluminium tape around the trigger cables to increase shielding against EMI / RF. I also noticed the tuning cable is without ferrite bead at the cable end that is very usual set up with USB cables.So lets see what will be the result.

Sutkale Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Had a possibility to scope the crank signal with quality digital & analogue scope. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the signal when the problem / trigger error occurs. Had no time to scope the cam signal, but will do that within few days. Hopefully there´s nothing wrong with the trigger circuit in the ECU board.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutkale Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Hi Sutkale,Keep us posted please.RegardsDave.I will. I will change the trigger wheel to 36-1 first and take new measurements. Try to take some video / photos and post over here too from the measurement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutkale Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Got this thing working, no trigger issues with 36-1 wheel.... This makes me wonder why it didn´t work with 60-2, too much load on the micro / trigger circuit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Kriedeman Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Hi Sutkale,great result after so much heart ache for you.Sometimes things are just what they are, I have had issues with trigger wheels because of the metal they were made from etc.It is very frustrating at times and almost always leads the owner,mechanic or tuner being suspect about the ECU.Then when the ECU is tested and gets the thumbs up, it's OK., the circle of despair starts again.I have had trigger errors from loose timing chains and belts, trigger discs just touching pick up sensors , air gap issues you name it.Well done anyway, you have nailed it, with the advice of Simon recommending a tooth count change.RegardsDave.

Sutkale Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Have had zero issues with the 36-1 wheel but gonna install 24-1 wheel for a test. Looks good -at least at my mind.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 That sure does look nice. I assume it still mild steel not alloy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
