Timing Drift - Autronic Ecu

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?

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.

      So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here

      V37 Radiator removal

      So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.

      Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go

      OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
