  1. Shift light on all O/P's, paste compare file, delay fault

    in WishList

    Posted

    Thanks for the suggestions and the UK EVO IX settings. I will pass them on.

    Happy to send my map over as it's 100% working on my IX, if it helps.

    Shift light can currently be set on Aux Outputs 1 to 8, spare Aux-Ign channels, and also spare Aux-Fuel channels. 

    The problem with the spare Aux Ign channels is that the LED ghosts, which is pretty annoying. I have moved it to a spare Aux Output (13 I believe) and have had to program it using 2 of the virtual Aux Outputs to give me a similar operation to the shift light table.

    Can you elaborate on this? Do you mean copy the values of a table from a compare table and paste them into the other open base-map?

    Yes, exactly that. Currently I have to open PCLink twice and then highlight, copy from the source and paste into the new map. Not a huge issue, but would be a nice improvement. Maybe it could work by highlighting the area of the table and then hit a kind of paste option, incase it's only part that is needed?

    There could be some improvements to the timers. I'd like to see a 'Switch Off' timer, and a constant repeat, or repeat for a number of cycles options. Is there anything else you were thinking of? Although the timers could be more advanced, they generally do as they are told. What are you trying to use them for? 

    I have used one to activate a 4D table via a Virtual O/P, it would be nice if it could directly activate the 4D table, rather than using another virtual Aux. If the timer could be set to cycle (to constantly go on-off-on) that would be great, as you suggest with constant repeat.

    Thanks again for the great work! :) 

  2. Evo 4-8 Direct Spark Issue

    Sorry for the delayed reply, really appreciate the fast response and advice. As soon as I can try it out I'll feedback the results......

    FYI the car runs fine on wasted spark with either trigger settings of 'Evo 4-6', Trig 2 Falling, OR 'Evo 7-9', Trig 2 Rising. So far as I know 4-9 all have the same cam and crank sensors?

    1) It would be a really nice addition if the shift light output could be set on ANY of the aux outputs, rather than only on the few high frequency ones. An LED doesn't need a particularly high frequency to flicker, and I would be happy with it 'ON' when above the gear and RPM dependant settings and it would save re-pinning the harness on my PNP loom. 

    2) The ability to paste a compared table or section.

    3) Time delay adjustment before the ECU logs a sensor fault, (e.g. warm up delay from Wideband or a short intermittent high condition)

    4) Extra virtual outputs. These are a great feature and a few more would be amazing.

    5) Review of the timers, these don't work as I would expect?

     

    Couple of settings that could be corrected in the Evo IX Basemap for a UK car-

    Ignition 8 = I/C Spray light on dash board. 

    Digital Input 1 = Mivec (VVT) Pull Up Resistor needs to be ON.

    Digital Input 2 = IC Spray [Auto] position, Pull Up Resistor needs to be ON and FALLING edge.

     

    Keep up the great work guys, love the ECU and the continuous improvements that are being rolled out. The above is only nit-picking but would make great product even better!

    Once the engine is up and running confirm all of the inputs and outputs are working correctly- there were a couple incorrectly set in the base map for my car, so confirm it's set right before going too far with mapping! :) 

  6. Evo 4-8 Direct Spark Issue

    in G4+

    Posted

    Help! 

    I have just converted an Evo 6 with EvoLink 4-8 G4+ to direct spark, but it's not working.

    In PCLink I have changed the spark mode to direct from wasted, moved the wires from Ign 3 (Pin 22, now Ign 5 pin 35) and Ign 4 (Pins 20, 32 & 34, now Ign 6 on expansion harness) and run in a new loom for coils 3 & 4 but the car will NOT start. It is as if the injectors and ignition are firing on different cylinders as there's plenty of popping out of the exhaust. When I refit the wasted spark harness and change the spark type back to wasted it fires up with no problems? The ECU is running the latest firmware.

    I have checked and double checked the coil harness wiring and I am 99% sure it is correct (Each ignition output was put into test one at a time and a spark confirmed at that cylinder, then checked with a multi meter. + and - pins are stable at 12V, ignition wire to +12V fluctuates when in test) so after a couple of hours of testing and double checking I'm hoping that someone can shed some light on the issue?!?! 

    The only odd thing I can could see in the base map settings are that the Evo 4-6 has a different trigger 2 setup to 7-9, however the cam signal is the same on 4-9, so why this difference of rising and falling edges? I have tried both settings by the way, and no improvement. 

    I have already completed this exact same modification on a G4+ Evolink IX and had no problems at all. I've attached the Direct spark file (Car won't start) and a modified version of this file back to wasted spark that DOES start the car when the original coil harness is refitted. I am hoping I have missed a setting somewhere, I can't find it for the life of me.

    Thanks :)

  8. EvoLink 8 Ignition Output 4

    in G4+

    Posted

    I have been asked to help a friend modify his Evo 6 with G4+ from wasted to sequential spark.... but there is an issue. The manual in the current PCLink states that pins 20, 32 and 24 are all Aux Ign 4. I expect 32 and 34 to both be Ign 4 (A/C Fan Lo and Hi), but NOT pin 20. I think pin 20 should be part of Aux 1 with pin 21 (Engine Fan Lo and Hi). Can anyone confirm this before I tell him to change the pins and we end up with smoke escaping from the ECU! :rolleyes:

     

  13. Direct ignition Denso 90919-02229 Dwell Times required for Evo COP

    in G4+

    Posted

    I think it may have been an email conversation- essentially I had an LED set as a shift light on Aux Ign 7, but it was always slightly on. I was advised to use a normal aux output of which I have 9 to 16 available (1 to 8 are already in use) but I can't set any of these directly to 'shift light' or PWM- so I've had to program it as a GP output based on RPM.

    As anything over 20Hz looks like its on solid, being able to use these outputs for low freq pwm would be a perfect solution for my shift light and other odd features.

    Hi Scott,

    Thank you again for the quick response, for some reason I didn't get a notification.

    I have found the dwell data for another set of common Denso coils 90919-02240

    8V 6.3 ms
    9V 5.3 ms
    10V 4.4 ms
    11V 3.8 ms
    12V 3.2 ms
    13V 2.7 ms
    14V 2.4 ms
    15V 2.2 ms

    I may have a go at measuring it myself on the 02229's. I'll post data up when I get a chance to dig the scope out!

    Was there any progress/ possibility of a low freq PWM option for the aux outputs, or just the ability to set the shift light to one of these outputs, or even just as a binary on or off once it crosses the threshold?

  15. Direct ignition Denso 90919-02229 Dwell Times required for Evo COP

    I've modified My Evo to run sequential [direct] spark with a set of 4x Denso 90919-02229 coil packs from a 1L Toyota Yaris, but I can't find any information on the dwell times to adjust the 3D table. I am GUESSING that the Toyota Altezza (IS200 in UK) will be the same, or near as? 

    If anyone's interested, hardwiring the mod was simple enough, just 2 extra wires from the triggers to coils 3 and 4 back into the cabin (i also used an extra 2 pin plug in line to make removal of the coils easier), remove the Fuel pump and BOTH A/C fan wires. Then pop the new wires into their place, move the High speed A/C and fuel pump wires to Ign 6 and 7 with the low speed A/C fan taped up out of the way. Then a quick change in PCLink to change Ign 3 and 4 to 'IGNITION' (or it won't display correctly when you change the mode from 'wasted' to 'direct' spark), then program 6 and 7 for the fuel pump and engine fan 3 respectively. Under 'ignition main'  change 'wasted' to 'direct' [a.k.a sequential] spark and she's a runner! The last job will be adjusting the above table...... followed by reconfirming the base timing if my light will pick up the coilpack. 

    If someone could post up the data sheet for the above, it would be really appreciated!

  17. PNP Ignition Outputs for wasted to direct spark

    in G4+

    Posted

    Hi Simon,

    That's EXACTLY what I needed, thank you :D

    I's also noticed that Aux Outputs 1 to 9 that have option to apply a label, 11 to 16 don't come up with that choice? One last dumb question on Aux Outputs, is there no way to change the firmware to add a low frequency PWM (i.e. <20Hz) option to these outputs too?

    Big thank you again for the replies B)

    Hi Simon,

    As I can't select PWM output on any of these auxiliaries, it is only possible to activate an output by doing the above. As the ECU can be set to limit at different temperatures and in different gears (which is how I have mine set), it would be helpful if there was an option to switch a digital output ON as soon as the ECU applies any RPM limit? I guess it's the same as the traction light option, but for RPM limit.

    Not sure if that makes more sense? :-)

     

  21. PNP Ignition Outputs for wasted to direct spark

    Thank you for the reply Simon,

    That's what I thought you might say, but worth asking as it would have saved a headache! :-)  

    One other query with the Aux outputs (not Ign or Fuel), outputs 8-13 can't be assigned the 'shift light' function, I would assume this is because they don't/ can't provide a PWM output? 

    Would it be possible, again via software or firmware revision, to assign any of the 8-13 aux outputs to be activated directly from the shift light settings, but instead of a PWM output, just turn on or off? I have currently got the LED connected to Aux 13 on the expansion harness and although it doesn't ghost (as it did when on Aux Ign 7), I have had to set it as a GP output based on RPM >7200.

    To give me the 2 levels I had in the shift light settings I have set the GP output to activate for RPM >7200 OR virtual aux 3, set to RPM >5000 and gear <2.

  22. PNP Ignition Outputs for wasted to direct spark

    in G4+

    Posted

    I'm in the process of converting the stock 4G63 wasted spark coils to direct spark COP setup and appear to have hit a speed bump. I've just gone into the manual and PCLink software and it appears that to run sequential ignition you need to align the output with the firing order (IGN OP 1 to Spark 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3, 4 to 4, etc)? 

    The issue I have is that ignition outputs 3, 4 and 5 on the EvoLink IX PNP are already used for other functions; fuel pump, A/C Fan, and NB heater respectively.

    Coincidentally, ignition outputs 6 and 7 are available (both physically unwired) therefore making them ideal to use for a mini loom to control sparks 3 and 4- but I don't believe I can program them for this???

    Is this a software limitation (that could be changed in PCLink/ firmware), or is it a hardware limitation of the ECU?  I am reluctant to start moving pins about within the stock ECU plugs, hence the query.

     

  23. Launch control help

    in G4+

    Posted

    As Mapper said, HPA have online courses for the Link G4+ Software, and a dedicated course on launch control, with worked examples. Both are really good and the LC course is only $40!

    If it's bogging down, you may want to reduce the speed at which it disables, and/or you're not keeping your foot at full throttle after pulling away. You've also got TP set to 90%, so unless you have your foot flat to the floor it's not going to engage, which may explain why it doesn't appear to be working all the time? The other thing to be aware of is that the LC speed references the NON driven wheel speed, so check you have that set under 'chassis and body' - 'speed sources' - 'non driven wheel speed'.

    It might be worth reducing speed to 10kph and rpm to 3,000 to help stop it bogging. Maybe set TP down to 50% so that it consistently works, and see how it goes? Then you can start to increase these levels until it
