  2. LC2 Cal table

    in G4+

    Posted · Edited by Dave Kriedeman

    Hi Skeeed3r,

    The Innovate LC 2 analogue volt output is as follows,

    YELLOW WIRE IS ANALOGUE VOLT OUTPUT

    LC 2 EARTH should ground at the same earth point as the ECU.

    0 volts =   7.35 AFR

    5 volts = 22.39 AFR.

    Regards

    Dave.

  3. Fury internal lambda inaccurate reading

    in G4+

    Posted · Edited by Dave Kriedeman

    Hi Warmup,

    when the wideband is up to running temp and reading, if you hit the R key for Runtime Values and go to the ECU STATUS TAB.

    In the bottom right corner is there any errors etc from the Internal Lambda 1 data.

    Is all the data coming through OK.

    What are your settings under Internal Lambda 1 SETUP in ECU SETTINGS.

    Do you have your settings setup as,

    LAMBDA SENSOR CONTROL = ON

    RUN WHEN STALLED = NO.

    Are you running 5.4.3.2630 firmware and have updated your ecu with this FIRMWARE.

    Regards

  5. Converting from V44 to I44

    in Vi-PEC i Series

    Posted

    Hi jycheung,

    1. No, you do not require an external knock amplifier or device.

    2. Yes wire up the Bosch Knock sensor to DI3 and sensor ground.

    Make sure DI 3 is set to off.

    Select KNOCK CONTROL and enable it as KNOCK INTERNAL.

    3.To convert to i44 from V44 is very simple and as you have already discovered apart from DI3 being used for Internal Knock input everything is the same.

    Regards

    Dave.

     

     

  6. Incorrect injectors for plug-in

    in ViPEC V Series

    Posted · Edited by Dave Kriedeman

    Hi SLO-VLT,

    Sorry to hear bout your mishap with your engine.

    If a ""TUNER"" tells you they don't like ViPEC or LINK it is purely because they can't understand the ECU and it's software.

    If you know how to use the software and physically setup the ECU as far as terminating MAP sensors etc then these ECU's are the ultimate.

    Seriously you own a very sophisticated and capable ECU especially considering the price tag compared to others.

    The fact that he said he didn't like the ECU or couldn't work out how to fit an external 5 bar MAP sensor should have made you run.

    Anyway that is a different topic.

    When youse installed the injectors did youse modify the Fuel master setting or leave it at it's previous setting.

    You mentioned that it lifted the head, this terminology is only normally used when excessive boost pressure is used and there is insufficient clamping force via the head bolts and or studs.

    Torching the head and blowing the fire ring out of the head gasket can at times be caused via excessive lean conditions, however more likely to be detonation derived.

    Do you have pictures of the damage, do any of the pistons have damage on the outer edges around the ring lands.

    Can you please also take close up photos of each sparkplug.

    If the engine was lean the ""TUNER""  should have known that and rectified the issue.

    After all that is why you took it there, to be tuned.

    Also during the tuning process he should have been checking data logs for injector duty etc.

    Did he use detonation equipment when tuning.

    Can you please post pictures of damage and supply your PCL file for a check of his tune.

    Can you list your engine setup and include compression ratio and max boost and rpm used please.

    Regards

    Dave.

    P.S. Well done on joining HPA, you wont be disappointed.

     

     

     

  8. More channels in ECU logging

    LINK_DATA_STREAMS_AND_FRAMES_CUSTOM_DATAHi Crispin,

    Basically as many as you wish, you need to create the streams and data you wish to send and receive, both in PC LINK and MoTeC Dash Manager.

    If  you own a series 1.4 motherboard from memory, you can use digital input 9 and 10 as CAN 2.

    So the ecu can have two separate Can channels, MoTeC dashes also have dual CAN channels.

    This is far to much info required here it would be a book of information I would have to type.

    I have attached some screen shots so you can hopefully get the idea of how you can basically send as much data as you wish from the ECU to the dash and you can also wire up AN VOLT, TEMP and DIGITAL inputs to the DASH also as well as AUX O/P from the dashes.

    All of these are able to be data logged also.

    These can be setup as sent data back to the ecu on a receive channel on the ECU if you wish to data log these other parameters back to PCLINK.

    Regards

  10. Traction control options

    in G4+

    Posted · Edited by Dave Kriedeman

    Hi muzzytt,

    If you have 12 volts applied to DI9 then you need pull up OFF , ON level HIGH.

    Not sure why it would turn off the engine when activated however.

    Make sure that you definitely have the DI9 set up  as TRACTION DISABLE and not accidently selected ENGINE STOP SWITCH.

    Make sure there are no GP limiters active.

    Hit the R key or F12 for RUN TIME VALUES and go to the Triggers/Limits tab and look for anything being activated to kill the engine.

    I will be on the dyno this morning but you can call me on 0475 388 462, or email me your file so I can run it on the test bench and see what is happening if you wish.

    Also check that your TP and SPEED Values are not set too low, if they are the retard and fuel cut could be getting activated and the engine shuts down at idle.

    But really need to look at the file as when activating the TC if there was a setup issue I would expect a cut, but when disabling it I wouldn't imagine anything going wrong.

    So with RUNTIME VALUES OPEN , go to TRIGGERS and LIMITS,go to the right column, LIMIT STATUS and see if anything is active LIMIT wise.

    Also check MOTOR SPORTS tab and look at the left column bottom section TRACTION CONTROL and see if everything is happy there.

    Give me a call or email mate and I will do my best to sort you out.

    Regards

    Dave.

     

  11. Dual maps on G4 subaru v5

    Hi amvegeta,

    I have no idea why these pictures are not staying up, when I post them they stay but obviously for some reason disappear.

    I will try again ,please find attached the layout and setup for dual fuel,ignition and boost tables.

  12. More channels in ECU logging

    in WishList

    Posted · Edited by Dave Kriedeman

    Hi Crispin,

    if you are considering switching to MoTeC ECU then an SDL3, CDL3 or C series dash would be a cheaper option than swapping ECU's these log everything from the ECU.

    I have fitted lots of MoTeC dashes with ViPEC ECU's.

    The MoTeC CAN Template for ViPEC /LINK is in the MoTeC dash software as a default template.

    Just a suggestion.

    Regards

    Dave.

  14. Knock Control on Storm ECU

    in G4+

    Posted · Edited by Dave Kriedeman
    Corrected info.

    Hi Danko,

    Sorry previous information I supplied was incorrect I had the setup for external Knock device.

    So DI 3 is to be left turned off and just activate Knock Control as on, Internal Knock, the knock sensor signal wire must go to DI3.

    Regards

  15. Direct spark

    in G4+

    Posted

    Hi Goran,

    the triggers will support Direct fire ignition (sequential).

    However you will require a little bit of pin shuffling, plus you will need to purchase an expansion loom for the mother board as IGN outputs 5 - 8 are on the expansion connector.

    The functions assigned to AUX IGN 3 and 4 will need to be moved to the expansion loom and then you will have Aux IGN 1 through to 4 available for use.

    You must also setup ignition to DIRECT SPARK instead of wasted spark.

    Once you have made these changes and saved them AUX IGN 1 - 4 should be unlocked and you can assign AUX IGN  3 and 4 to IGNITION 3 and 4

    Regards

    Dave.

  17. More channels in ECU logging

    in WishList

    Posted

    Hi,

    I actually have a remote data logging device designed by Ray Hall way back when ViPEC was first released.

    This uses a SD card, for logging massive amounts of data.

    Once again we never know what the engineers are up to.

    Addition of features and functions are driven by customer demand.

    The more requests made the more notice is taken and moves along the must do list.

    Obviously a change like this would involve another design change in the ecu, so once again what is now new would be old again.

    Regards

    Dave.

  18. IATs VS Ignition advance angle

    in Engine Tuning

    Posted

    Hi jasaircraft,

    there are all sorts of theories on this and no true hard fast answer as every engine is different as we all have heard 10 000 times.

    I personally set up the IAT correction for Ignition timing to advance a couple of degrees for a drop in AIT, and retard for an increase in AIT.

    This is a fairly standard approach to this parameter.

    For AIR TEMPS around 20 -30 degrees max I use 0 trim, for every 10 degrees increase in air temp I retard 2 degrees.

    For every 10 degrees decrease in Air temp I add 1 degree.

    These are my start points and then they need to be proven and tested (tuned) on the dyno.

    Colder air is more dense , there for you also need to add fuel to make up for the extra air density.

    Cooler air (more volume ) plus extra fuel to compensate for the extra air requires more ignition advance to burn the complete mix or as close as possible.

    Also cool air charge helps keep the combustion area a little cooler helping with the reduction of hot spots , especially on knife edge combustion chambers etc.

    The best way to tune this table like all compensation tables is on a dyno, however with good AFR feed back and Knock control enabled and proper data logging optimising these points can be a little more accurate when there is no dyno available.

    Regards

    Dave.

  19. More channels in ECU logging

    in WishList

    Posted

    Hi Crispin,

    More channels being logged would be great.

    The main reason I believe the amount of ECU channels is limited is for one, saving space.

    The second is that most competition race cars install a sports dash with on-board logging.

    These dashes are expensive but have the ability to log massive amounts of data and include GPS data also.

    For now the only other option which I use is a small windows based tablet running the software that way you can log ALL channels at 40 Hz if you wish.

    Most decent tablets can be purchased for a couple of hundred dollars.

    I will ask Simon if he can add to the list for the engineers, he may also have a better answer than mine.

    Regards

    Dave.

     

  20. Ecu Settings table

    in WishList

    Posted · Edited by Dave Kriedeman

    Hi Ducie,

    all good, all ideas are what make great ECU's even better.

    I am not sure how these files are handled so if they impact the storage of the main processor they may not do it.

    I sometimes use NOTEPAD or EXCEL etc.

    However I am so used to using project books for each car that I have never thought of your suggestion.

    I will ask Simon to pass it on to the Engineers, he may also have the reasons for or against such an idea.

    Suggestions on the wish list are all taken note of, it is volume demand from the users such as yourself that dictate what features get added etc .

    Regards

    Dave.

  21. toyota 3S

    Hi Goran,

    Firstly sorry for the delayed response, I am not very well at present.

    The picture of the crank trigger wheel is hard for me to make out, even if I copy the photo and expand it ,it is too pixelated.

    However the picture appears though the crank trigger square toothed section as you call it, is longer than a 2 tooth count .

    The cam is not an issue that is just single, but just need to definitely confirm the tooth count on the crank.

    Also just to note  I would advise changing the timing belt if it feels hard at all as well as the rust formation from the crank gear, the rusty spot on the belt normally effects the rubber and can tend to cause belt breakage.

    Better to do now while apart.

    Can you please try to take a better shot of the crank gear, sorry.

    Regards

    Dave.

     

  23. E-throttle Sub/Main(?) TPS&FPS sensors (SOLVED... USER ERROR)

    in G4+

    Posted

    Hi Davidv,

    Yes the ECU need to see both TPS MAIN and SUB and FPS MAIN and SUB.

    Both sensors will also have 5 volt ref and sensor ground.

    As for the RED G4+ EXTREME I think the DBW was a paid for option and now the BLACK EXTREME it is free. (NOT SURE THOUGH AS I AM ViPEC ORIENTATED).

    As for the operation of the DBW itself, it is outstanding, as long as the PID setup is done correctly the rest is up to you as to how responsive you wish to make it via the ETHROTTLE TARGET TABLE values you use.

    Regards

    Dave.
