    Vaughan got a reaction from BeefNugget in Crank but No Start - Mx5 NB1 Boosted   
    Given that the previous owner repinned his harness to suit a G4+ I'm going to go ahead and assume that it was wired to suit a G4+ NA pnp. Do you now have a G4X NB1 pnp that you have changed the harness back to factory to suit?
    I suspect the problem is to do with the re-pinning/setup in the ECU. My notes have the Fuel Pump wire listed as being Light/Green in the US and JDM models and being connected to the 3N pin on the ECU header, do you have a light green wire going into the ECU and if so which pin hole does it go into? if you remove this light green wire and ground it while the ignition switch is on the fuel pump should run.

    Sorry I should clarify. He repinned his harness for the g4+ but I still have the stock harness and hence the nb1 g4x.
    I'll check for that wire now.

    Yep factory coils. MAP should be fine because it's the onboard 7 bar sensor. 
    I can't hear the pump running, but there is definitely a smell of fuel.
    I've just jumped the fuel pump relay through the diagnostics box and can hear it running, so I'm assuming that the fuel pump isn't running. In the g4+ user manual the attached image is shown. Is it possible that because I'm running no MAF the fuel pump is refusing to activate?
     
    Ok so I started the car with the fuel pump relay jumped and it idled. I started the log after it started running cause I honestly thought it wouldn't work. It idled well but stalled when I gave it a blip of throttle.

    Vaughan got a reaction from Timboj in Fuel Tuning - Mixture Map/Quick Trim With Closed Loop Lambda ON   
    I generally like to have CLL off when I am tuning.
    Correct, quick trim only looks at the supplied Target and actual and doesn't take into account any trims.
    Are you using two distinct Fuels and so only ever in one table or the other or are you doing any blend of two fuels and so interpolating between the two tables? 
    It fills out the LTT tables the same as it would with a single table, it does not look at anything other than the various CLL lockouts.
    There is a new user lockout coming in a future release which would allow you to disable CLL and LTT based on whatever you want.
    There has also been some work done on allowing the user to specify percentage trims to take into account when generating the mixture map but this hasn't been completed at this point.

    Well that is awesome news. The traction control units on the market now seem to have nowhere near the control or functionality of the RLTC and I was worried about having to change, Thanks for your help

    "pulse width modulated injector signals which control limit the injector current" are also known as "Peak and Hold" where current into the injector is limited to a large initial 'Peak' current and then held at a lower continuous 'Hold' current. If you are not using Peak and hold injection on your current G4+ Setup then you will not be using Peak and Hold on your new G4X setup. 
    Given that your account says you have a 300ZX plugin your existing ECU won't have Peak and Hold Injection and your injectors won't require the use of Peak and Hold drivers so the injection driver type will not be an issue for you.

    To make the CE light on the dash do more than just the standard CE light functionality you will want to set the CE Light output to another Virtual Aux and set up a gp output to control the actual Aux Output that is connected to the light in the dash and then use that gp output to either output the state of the CE Light virtual Aux or your preferred output to indicate immobiliser state.

    Thank you for the elaboration. 
    I’ll definitely do some more research and see what I can come up with. Both local Link tuners have recommended using the plug-in, but I absolutely want to take more perspectives and knowledge into consideration. All the others I’ve managed to speak with are Haltech only. I’ll probably make a detailed list of everything that I’m attempting to do, and see how it compares to the various options. Thank you.

    Vaughan reacted to castillaricardo in 1999 Mazda MX-5 w/ ITBs. Street/Track Hybrid   
    This is Scooter, my 1999 NB Miata. Acquired in August 2017 as an OEM+ car that became an ITB learning project. Quad throttled since 2021 and used an MS3Pro for a while before making the leap to a Link G4X. I'm very grateful to KORacing for getting me up and running and answering all my questions. This is the best the car has felt in years.
    The G4X ECU is setup to run modelled mode with MAP as the Load source and TPS on the Fuel, Ignition and Target tables. The MAP is jumpy but the car runs great. There are fuel pressure, oil pressure and oil temperature inputs with safeties looking after the engine. I've also played with Math channels, virtual outputs and CAN Auxes to setup custom functions such as virtual fuel tank resets, flood clear, knock CEL and an extra idle up when the second fan turns on. Some virtual outputs also feed the GP RPM Limits for AFR and Fuel Pressure safety. I've also played with Launch control and gear shift control. Both worked really well but mechanical sympathy doesn't let me use them often.
    The engine runs sequential ignition with Toyota COPs and sequential injection with DW 550cc injectors. KORacing setup the injector deadtimes for me because the data I got from DW was far from correct. I intend to setup a Flex Fuel sensor and run modelled multi-fuel for the new-to-me VVT engine build.
    The goal of Scooter is to be a fun fizzy street car with track capability. It competes in ABQ Super Lap once a month, and we will soon make the trek to Colorado for trackday at Grand Junction Motor Speedway during the Flyin' Miata Summer Camp. I'm excited to be part of the Link community and continue learning with this car and ECU.

    Vaughan reacted to DerekAE86 in gear detection issue   
    You have no idea what this just put me through. I checked some of my logs to find one with the ratio calc runtime to configure this.
    But obviously there is always some minor changes in the ratio due to noise or logging update rate and the perfectionist in me wanted to calculate the ratio perfectly since I know my gear ratios and tyre size etc.

    Turns out 14 years ago when I bought my "4.77:1" final gear they accidently sent me a 5.13:1 ratio and I never noticed until now hahaha.
    That would explain 4000rpm in 5th at 100km/h. Bloody hell.

    Vaughan got a reaction from spliffgates in Sr20 MAF solution.   
    In terms of tuning stuff I would say set 'Equation Load Source' (Fuel->Fuel Setup->Fuel Main) to Load=OFF and then make sure all tables that typically use MAP (AFR/Lambda target, Fuel table, charge temp approximation, Ignition table etc) are set to use MAF instead of MAP on their axes. You will also want to run through and adjust any MAP specific settings like idle lockouts to values that won't interfere with engine running.
    When I had a play with using MAF on a friends 3VZ-E Hilux Surf (Four Runner) I filled out the fuel table based on math around converting mass of air at different engine speeds into mass of fuel air per cylinder and then mass of fuel per cylinder as (using Traditional Fuel Mode) and then used my O2 feedback (only had a narrowband for most of my playing) to create the MAF calibration. It did tend to run pretty average but it also had very little tuning and older MAF sensor like the one that vehicle had are known to be slow and innacurate.

    Vaughan got a reaction from Speedy73 in RB30de   
    Yes, the coils are paired by tdc so you are firing one cylinder just before tdc on compression stroke at the same time as the matching cylinder just before tdc on the exhaust stroke (and so it has no effect on that cylinder) whereas the injectors are timed so that the fuel is injected similar angles before intake stroke as explained in the top half of the above screenshot.

    I went through this on my MR2, wired the gearbox sensor directly to the ECU and then wired a spare Auxiliary output to the signal wire that used to go to the gearbox speed sensor. From memory I did need to change the power to the gearbox speed sensor from 12V to 5V for it to work with the Link.
