  1. Knock detection equipment is almost a must have for tuning safely. It doesn't have to be connected to the ECU. But should always be monitored whilst tuning. If your tune is way off no amount of correction from the knock control is going to save your engine.

    1. With both G3 and G4 PCLink open (G4 PCLink connected), begin setting up the ECU using your existing G3 map. This must be done manually noting the following:

    • All table axis must be configured to exactly match the G3 axis. The copy and paste function works well between tables once the axis have been correctly setup.

    • G3 ECUs have a parameter named 'Dwell Edge'. In G4 ECUs this is now called 'Spark Edge'. A rising 'Dwell Edge' is the same as a falling 'Spark Edge' and a falling 'Dwell Edge' is the same as a rising 'Spark Edge'.

    • G3 ECUs have channels named Load Input. G4 ECUs have renamed these as AnVolt channels. This causes G3 AnVolt channel numbering to differ from G4 AnVolt channel numbers. For example Load Input 1 becomes AnVolt1, Load Input 2 becomes AnVolt2, Load Input 3 becomes AnVolt3, AnVolt1 becomes AnVolt4, AnVolt2 becomes AnVolt5... etc.

    • AFR correction must be turned off on the G4 firmware.

    • Fuel Equation must be set to Load = MAP on the G4 firmware.

    • If the car fails to run, it is very unlikely to be a hardware fault. Please double check all settings.

    • G3 LinkPlus Aux11 is not supported by G4 firmware.

    1. After setting up the ECU perform a 'Store'.

    2. It is recommended that the engine is then checked by your Link dealer to ensure everything is operating correctly.

  2. What is happening is that the two coils being run off the single channel are only getting at best 3 amps of current. Causing a very week spark. Only solutions are another igniter so each coil has its own igniter channel or to go to a dual post coil as you mentioned.

  3. To get the overlay table to cover a wider range you will need to adjust to bigger steps between rows.

    As the the trims are not large you don't need the fine steps between rows.

    The Knock settings will need adjusting to find a good base level.

     

    I would really suggest getting the tune done professionally if at all possible as the results if a mistake is made will not be pretty.

     

  4. The main problem will be you will have to run the accel fuelling off MAP which is often not as good as TPS.

    Not sure of an alternative TPS sensor but im sure someone else will be able to help on this one.

  5. Hi Lawrence.

    I would suggest getting the tune sorted first and then work on acceleration fuelling.

    As you have a GTR I am assuming that you have retained the 6 butterflies.

    This requires a different fuelling configuration to most.

    I would suggest spanning the main fuel table over TPS and then running a overlay table based on MGP.

    This will give much better results than trying to tune just on MGP. This is because a very small change in throttle results in a massive change in MAP on multi butterflies.

  6. From the photos you are in luck you have a matching set. The adapter is also a G1.

    The switches are for two functions. The single switch is for setting the stepper motor step size. 1/2 or full steps. Normally set this to off.

    The 4 way switch set the trigger edges from the CAS these are currently set in there correct positions so should not need changing.

  7. Not something I have come across before. Well as far as the battery type goes.

    However different battery types certainly require different charging methods. Just have no idea what is required for a calcium based one.
