Re: Were Should I Spend my EG33 Dollars to Kick Ass.
I was under the impression that Steve J had trouble with his Motec reading the signal as well. Its all good at lower revs it breaks up at high revs.
Not sure what the Wolf has.

Re: Were Should I Spend my EG33 Dollars to Kick Ass.
Do you think it's an issue with the wolf?

Re: Were Should I Spend my EG33 Dollars to Kick Ass.
Most of the early units were set up for Ign points, so the input to the controller is a low impedance input, that needs a high current flow, to trigger the controller. The later ones have both low and high impedance inputs, that can use all types of trigger units.
Posted this on another thread. The out put of the inductive sensors is really a voltage signal, not like a Hall effect out-put that can switch a transistor. They don't have the current to drive a transistor base circuit, they have to drive a high impedance input. like a 47K resistor, so that only the voltage signal gets through. This decouples the current from the input circuit, so it does not short the signal voltage to ground. Harvey.

As to the sync issues, did you try adding a resistor to the crank input to the MS?

Out of curiousity, how much do the wolf and link g3 ecus cost, roughly.

Re: Were Should I Spend my EG33 Dollars to Kick Ass.
It's interesting as most of my mates here in Aus with the EG33 tend to run decent ECU's, one runs Motec M4, I run LinkPlus G3, another runs a LinkPlus G4.
This is picture of my crank sensor setup, never had an issue, just works: |

Another option is the Microtech LT16S, especially if you're turbo / track/ don't need street manners (closed loop idle or closed loop fuel) or the IRIS valve. Easiest ECU on the planet to tune and can tune while on the track racing. |

Re: Were Should I Spend my EG33 Dollars to Kick Ass.
As I understand it the signal breaks up at high revs only, given that Motec had the problem I am surprised you haven't found some issues Bazza.

Re: Were Should I Spend my EG33 Dollars to Kick Ass.
My guess is I have it wrong but I was on the understanding that the Motec was suppose to be one of the best ECU.

Re: Were Should I Spend my EG33 Dollars to Kick Ass.
They are quite a good units, overpriced IMO but it's like anything else - if you don't set it up properly or don't know exactly what you're doing then it will have issues.

Re: Were Should I Spend my EG33 Dollars to Kick Ass.
Well peoples I order the part for the 5 speed box so we can rear drive it to run the dyno. I have a hell of a time getting the power throught the engine to the dyno. I tried a drive shaft like most of the dyno guys say you can do but I had the distink impressiion it was giving the crank a bad time. We tried a fly wheel with shaft mounted to it and it was the same. Talking to Bazza he mentioned the rear drive lock for the 5 speeds so thats what we got. After that its a bit of rewelding and Programing a PLC to run the loading. Long story but I inherited a $6,000 plc that I have no use for at work so we may plug that sucker in. When can then build on the dyno about 60 different logging test point.
Also inherited a software program the we could use that will talk to the PLC. Its called Citec, worth about (10k) so if we get real keen we can set that up as well. So lets see how we go. The only problem I have is hours in the day. Tony

I have been away from the project for 6 months so don't have all the specs in my head. The pistons are CP and slightly over but not much. Cams were done by Delta(tacoma,wa) and were basically putting the exhaust profile(244x8.1) on the intake and grinding the exhaust to 255 x 8.5. The headers are either 2.25 or 2.5 into 3" and about 25" tubes. I hope that's not too big. The final flow report on the heads said that the straight exh was 190 cfm, the dogleg was 185 and the intake was 260 cfm at the new lifts. In my Corvair application, I only used the engine harnesses and the 4 plugs at the engine. When I left the project in May, it was running on fully sequential spark and fuel but with the crank signal problem at 1200 to 2000 rpm. I have since read where there is a signal filtering function within the tuning software that may solve the problem. If not, I'll be using some type of resister combination. Mike |
