Even though its off the crank driven oil pump? Tried it both ways and I get a trigger error, while cranking it says counting though, rpm and rotation are good. 280zx pert.pclx

Grounded pert plate direct to the engine block. Now we are talking.

No noticeable difference, I could get a resistor and wire it in to lower the over all voltage? I would just treat is a ballast resistor and follow the wiring pertronix lays out for a resistor correct? or would I just put in line with the power wire

I second guessed myself, can't thank you enough for putting up my cluelessness Also, its midnight and I just got home and could kiss you. Could only crank it a few times before the misses murders me, but finally!!! Adam I cannot thank you enough for timely response and insights, it is people like you that make Link such an amazing company

Hey there, sorry for the delay was waiting on parts and time. I ended up converting it to a pertronix hall effects as it was a more feasible undertaking in a home garage. Pertronix #1761 And the pertronix 3 ohm coil that goes with it. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pnx-1761 Ive the atom to hall effects, 6 tooth as their is 6 lil mag stripes, hooked the red+ on the pertronix to the black trigger 1 wire, and the black pert to the white trigger ground but still nothing I carried out the pert bench test (pic attached) and saw the voltage fluctuate while I spun the mag wheel. I find it odd that trigger two shows up on the scope test when it is depinned from the harness too. Thoughts?

After more digging I can get the pictured pick up coil, seems to have the same screw pattern as the NA dizzy, I should be able to remove my existing stator and put the new pick up and get a timing wheel instead of the reluctor In your mind does that sound like a good plan instead of struggling with the existing pickup coil? link to said part https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=40296&cc=1209406&pt=7176&jsn=441 Thanks

Sadly they are unicorns, from the turbo l28 and are next to impossible. But I'm not worried, I'll grab a fresh battery and see if I can up the crank speed. I am happy to have a second set of eyes on it to make sure I didn't goof something up badly. I'll play with it this week and let you know where I land Thanks again

Alright, I will try to get it pulled tomorrow, I am starting to think its not compatible, I cannot find any info either even after hours of reading manuals/forums/any thing I could find. I might have to swap over to COP setup. Thanks for the speedy response as always

Hey Adam, Sorry to be a pest, I cannot get a trigger reading to save my life, I got delayed because the breaker plate assembly was broke in my dizzy and finding a new one was troublesome but got a brand new dizzy, wired and installed the j121 igniter. I have no trigger 1 or spark or trigger 1 but I figure trigger is the biggest concern as it tells everything else when to go. my ignition coil has a resistance of 387 ohms, same as my original unit, the ground in the trigger wire has continuity to the other tps sensor ground, Set it up as reluctor, crank tooth count 12 sync tooth 1 The part that is killing me is I when I hit capture on the trigger scope I will see different results without changing anything, the wiring is solid all the way back with no continuity issues, and removed the trigger 2 red wire off the bulk head connector to avoid cross talk issues. Any thoughts, ideas, hunches or hints are appreciated Only other thing is I get a connection error "27 not implemented" while cranking TriggerScopeLog l28e.llgx TriggerScopeLog think i got it 2.llgx TriggerScopeLog think i got it.llgx 280zx l28e na base map setup 4.pclx

Can't thank you enough for you help Adam!

sorry for my late replay, I saw your post right away tho! Thanks for not only a rapid response but such detail and part numbers! I will order the 3 wire one right away, I think I will make an adapter and swap out the throttle switch for a proper sweeping tps too Sorry but just to clarify, you are suggesting running a wire from the dizzy to the atom and then the new ignition module to ign 1 on the atom? Again, thanks for all the help!

Hey All, 1983 datsun-nissan 280zx NA L28e engine (straight 6) with efi, On a fuel rail with high impedance injectors, pace setter headers, innovate wideband, Stock ignition system, flaming river coil with 1.4 ohm resistance ngk stock plugs, ngk HT leads. Newer to distributor engines, and struggling with wiring the distributor from the link, the NA distributor doesn't have a CAS and has the e12-92 ignition module on two connectors to it, top connector with Pins B C and side connector I W I Tried wiring the Link ignition 1 wire to the B or the dizzy but no spark, I get spark without the ecu hooked up. Any thoughts on where to run the Ignition 1 wire? And thoughts on trigger wires? I feel like I'm missing something ridiculously obvious. Thanks everyone! Oh also attached is what my config file so far. -Nic 280zx l28e na base map setup 4.pclx

<3 not all heroes wear capes.

so removing the white and yellow 232 wires from the CANBUS port inside the ecu will let you have usb and can bus working at the same time? sorry just want to double check before I open it up. thanks again!

Agreed, I signed up a year ago and never looked back. Some seriously awesome information and a great resource

Awesome Thanks again!

I got it all working now except my vehicle speed sensor https://www.marlincrawler.com/transfer-case/parts-upgrade/vehicle-speed-sensor-mci wired as they show, and I have it going to Digital input 1 on my vipec and left it the way it was Any ideas? Thanks

I can open the menu and change the high lighted but it doesnt accept it, also my SN in that menu is "1" for everything which I believe to part of the problem, I have contacted racepak but no response yet. I wonder if its because the software key that came with it wouldnt load, and I didnt get an unlock code for it UPDATE Just got home, took the racepak out of dash, unplugged everything and let sit for a few minutes, plugged it all back and now I am seeing the same channels as your screen shot on my data link software Huge thanks to VIPEC support for not only giving so much help but actually responding! You guys have been amazing to deal from start to finish ....wish the same could be said for racepak..... not even a response yet... Go Vipec Go!

Yes sir, that end is in the back of the racepak iq3 dash with the other end plugging into the CAN on my v88

Thanks! I am glad to hear you don't need a logger It does read, it gives a pop up saying some channels cant be read, I hit ok to remove, removes a few and changes a few. but nothing at all like the screen shot you posted. That would make sense. The "adapter" is a vnet to can bus cable with a 3 prong union in the middle, Do you know of anyway to test the adapter?

I appreciate the timely responses and effort! When I go into datalink2 and read vnet it doesnt give me the EFI options, I will screen shot it when home. But it does appear to be on the racepak side. Do you know if the racepak requires a logger to work with the vi-pec? I have posted on there forum but they still havent responded

went and bought a new serial to usb as well to eliminate some variables, will try again after work Also just got my ecu back from having the CAN enabled as it was a pre S/N I cannot have the can and serial plugged in at the same time on my V88. I dont care, but my buddy with a v88 said that is not supposed to happen Thoughts?

I got the VNET to CAN bus module cable, 230-VM-EFIVIPEC - VIPEC EFI Interface

Hey guys/gals Looking for any help possible configuring the v88 with a non logging racepak iq3 I just got my vipec sent back after the CAN bus enabling, I know I cant have lap top usb and dash plugged into ecu at the same, I have gone to the config on the vipec and baud set to 57600 data stream mode to short under the options can setup channel one is set to transmit, and I just loaded the generic dash map on the racepak I did the config read vnet but the only channels it left me with were either gps ones or just the dash. regardless no matter what I try I cant see info from the vipec any help is greatly appreciated Thanks -Nic
