I am trying to get my RB30/25DET running using a plug in Autronic ECU.

We have it running ok, BUT went the engine rpm is increased the ignition timing

increases correspondingly.

ie

idle 0deg, 3000rpm 20deg

idle 10 deg 3000rpm 30 deg

the timing keeps advancing further the more we rev it.

It is not mechanical as all new belts, idlers, etc, and has run on std ecu ok.

A friend is helping with the tuning and he thinks its not the ecu as he has the idle map, and timing map, and ignition mean angle all the same - 10deg i think.

He has tried different cyc trigger edge, digital angle filter, sync, and a lot of other shiit i dont understand.

nothing changes - still advances with rpm.

the CAS has had a 6 pulse gear tooth sensor installed by our local NZ distrubutor - who also has no idea why it it doing this...

any ideas would be greatly appreciated

cheers rob

You could try putting a scope on the cas, it may need pull up resisters on the signal wire to clean up the signal. So the ignition maps are all set flat?Have you set the maps to zero and downloaded it to the ecu? Sounds like it could still have the base map in it and is advancing like it should

All maps set to zero.

Put scope on CAS, apparently ecu is not changing anything.

This is real fustrating, its been a few years in the making and I just want it to go...

you need to find someone with another autronic ecu, load their map into your ecu and see if it runs their car properly, to work out if its an ecu hardware/firmware issue or a engine mechanical issue.

speaking of which tried upgrading/downgrading firmware if thats possible?

What edge are you firing the igniter on? Rising or falling? Have you set them to constant duty or constant dwell?

You say the CAS now has 6 pulse gear tooth. I assume this is now using a magnetic trigger? What edge are you triggering off?

Just to be sure, does the ECU have a timing lock function?

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
