Don't forget if you go wasted spark you will need spark plugs which fire in both directions.

Can't say I have heard of this happening before. Does the engine light flash when it is on? If so what code does it flash?

Yes. You can buy speedo signal modifiers which can correct the problem.

Hello All, For those who missed out on the last batch of tiptronic controllers I will be making another batch in 2 weeks. If you need several units I shold be able to accomodate you. The instuctions for the controller can be found here The wiring diagram can be found here Both files are in...

You can adjust the idle the old way by using the bypass screws on the throttle body. Stock they are not open enough and will probably stall you car. Adjust them until you get a decent idle. Not sure what effect on the ECU it would have if any. You would be better off relocating the ISCV rather...

Any updates on what's happening Ed? Where are we meeting, times etc?? Cheers

You can use 2 1n4148 diodes coming from each ignitor and then run them togther to the Haltech - then it will get the 8 pulses it wants to see. Anode goes to ignitor, cathodes join together and go to tacho input of haltech. You may need to add a wire to one ignitor though as it probably won't...

John, Either lower voltage should be fine. At the most you could add a resistor to the ground trigger side to bring it up to 2.5 volts - probably not necessary though. If someone can provide a car then I can measure them easily. Also the Toyo systems usually trigger on a high voltage (IGt...

Most ECUs will be fine, some people prefer others for various reasons, its not goingto be the end of the planet no matter which ECU you choose. They are all pretty good these days. The MOST IMPORTANT THING is that you get a good Tuner who is familiar with ECU you will be using and can provide...

Lex, If I get time i'll make a diagram, shouldn't take too long. unless Ed beats me to it. Be aware though that wire colours will change from engine to engine so they may not be the best way to descirbe things. Is is pretty simple.

The fully auto and tiptronic controller is on the job list but easier jobs take priority whilst they are in demand.

get friendly with a machinist, or take the unit to a machine place, they shouldn't charge that much to turn the unit into a normal bearing housing. When the bearing inside my crown fan idler died it was a PITA to fix. Reason being that the webbed housing forms a cassette with the shaft and...

Jaycar sell a kit which will divide/multily speedo signals input can be whatever but output is square wave or hall effect type. Kit No: KC5380 $44.95

You shouldn't have a problem. Even an old processor should be able to do the calculations way way before the ignitioin event is required. Engines are very slow beasts when compared with the speed of a microcontroller. I would still check with MSD first though.

Most ignitions will have a reve limiter of some sort. Very easy to implement. I stand corrected on the retard issue, I didn't check or think that any manufacturer had gone to the effort of adding thins feature. It is essentially a time delay which decreases with RPM. Your thinking is correct...

Sorry i'm not really following the difference between tuning and adjustability? The device David is using doesn't allow for any tuning ie adjusting the advance or retardation of ignition timing, they just fire a spark when told to by the ECU. They produce a more powerfull spark teh nwhat the...

Do you want an inductive system or a CDI system? Either can be used and put spark through the distributor system, you will just have different coils. Running the CDI through the dizzy is a bit of waste buyt it can still be done. If you want a normal inductive system I don't think anything...

Nice work, I was recently reamed $45 a gasket for cam cover gaskets.

I ride my bike around when I can, However I still do more KMs in a week than most people do in a month in the car. Plus I have to tow the ski's around, the ski also consumes around 50L/hour so its not the most fuel efficient. I have a lead foot problem. Yes I am being bent over by petrol prices.

Just put the Lin ECU into the case of the OEM ECU. If you do some nice sheet metal work you shouldn't be able to tell that the original ECU has been changed out.
