Guest grant620 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Hi there, Are you able to add a custom trigger pattern to the system so that we can run a G4+ Atom on a "Rover" engine? We have been using a different brand of ECU on these as the trigger pattern is already there... Basically it's a 36t wheel with 4 gaps. The gaps are uneven so that the ECU knows where the engine is: The one on the right is correct  Would really like to do some plug and play looms and start selling some of these as the Atom is a fab ECU for the money!

Simon Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hi Grant I suspect we have that pattern in there already. Would that be off the 1.6L rover K series engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grant620 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 The K series has 2 types of 4 gap pattern, commonly known as Type 2 and Type 3. (Type 1 was a 2 gap setup). Can you tell from the picture if the 1.6L K16 pattern you have is the same? Mode 3, which is what we need is:Â Gap, 4 teeth, Gap, 11 teeth, Gap, 5 teeth, Gap, 12 teeth Mode 2, which is earlier Rover, inc some 1.6s is: Gap, 3 teeth, Gap, 13 teeth, Gap, 2 teeth, Gap, 14 teeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 The current pattern we have decode matches Mode 2. We can look at add the Mode 3 but this will take a bit of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grant620 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Thanks. Can you add it to the wish list please? I was buying a different ECU for this application, but this is no longer possible (company has closed!), so need to move forward ASAP with these.

AbbeyMS Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Grant will be a good move over to Link from the other people. Far better system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grant620 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I agree Mark. We use Link on the Nissans and Mitsubishis already. Just that the other brand which has just closed down had great support for the Turbo Rovers and we had loads of base maps to get cars running. Was looking to do this anyhow, but had the push needed now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Have put on wish list. It looks like we have had one scoped in the past. In a Lotus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grant620 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 That would be correct if it was a 1.8 and/or VVC engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Baker Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Can I bump this? Any luck with adding this in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Baker Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Bump again...Customer is debating which ECU to buy right now and it will have to be a decision he makes based on whether we can do the "VVC" Style trigger... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Kriedeman Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hi Grant,no good bumping mate,LINK are shut until next week as they do every year for Christmas and New Year break.I can not say what is happening with this until they come back to work, sorry I can't help.RegardsDave.

Simon Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hi GrantI have had a chat with the engineers and have to say its not going to be quick getting it in to the firmware, Got a bunch of other items further up the list.How many sales a month do you think could be picked up if we got it in at some point?

Grant Baker Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 If this is not something you are planning to do in the near future then we will probably look at alternatives like fitting a 36-1 trigger, or unfortunately, a different ECU.It is a real shame as the "Mode 2" you have already is the least common by a long way! "Mode 3" is standard on 95% of MG-Rover engines, including those fitted to Caterham, Lotus, Westfield etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Yeah part of the reluctance to add triggers now is due to the amount of odd one off type application requests.If the volume is there and its even 1 every couple of months then is much more worth while.Each trigger addition takes about 3 days of engineering time once all the testing is done so is a bigish task for each one. At this point in time its not going to be high on the todo list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Baker Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Totally understand. I'll do some hard research and see if I can give you an idea of numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point85 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Also very interested in this. Can we make it happen? Looking to fit an atom to our Caterham development car with the view to making adapter looms to sell on to customers. I expected the rover trigger pattern to work already as its so common (Rovers, Elises, Caterhams, MGs, etc etc) but looks like it doesn't.... For now.

Scott Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hi,We actually have done some work on implementing this trigger mode. However we need some testing to be done for us in order to finish it off. If you are interested in helping with this please send an email to [email protected].Scott.
