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?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
