hi guys,

me and my mate installed a lt10s into my rb20 over the weekend, started it up, and with the base tune it seems like its idling weird. kind of pops/knocks. . .

tps is showing 0% load.

also im not 100% sure that the knock sensor is hooked up correctly either. . . can anyone post up the wiring diagram for the tps sensor/switch?

i have read that on first start you have to adjust the tps? and lock in the timing??? any suggestions on how to go about??

Any help is appreciated! cheers

Use hand controller to lock timing - Do not rev the motor!

Use timing light to set engine to correct base timing by adjusting the CAS.

When timing is set correctly, unlock timing with the hand controller.

You have the Microtech manual right?

Also the Microtech doesn't use the knock sensors.

ok, so ive sorted out the tps. microtech is showing 0% then 99% with throttle.

im still not 100% about the CAS wiring. . .

Also, since ive relocated my battery to the boot. when i switch on my isolator switch, sometimes it seems like the coils spark and it even pops! any ideas on what i should check??

Cheers!

check yellow pages and find an auto elec in your area

but it really is, for the time it takes and people trying to diagnose it over the net without realtime testing and by the sounds of it there is some major issues with how ever it has been wired up.

all the diagrams needed are on the microtech website, we get guys ringing 10000 times a week with similar issues and it is always wiring related, so unfortunately we just refer them straight to a dealer of whichever product it is. I dont take on half wired jobs as it often takes longer to fix than a new install...

jump on the microtech website and check you cas wiring to their diagrams

hey trent, its got a base map on it, ive gone through the tps set-up and adjusted the timing to 10btdc, but its still running really rough. is that common?

A microleb is a downgrade from the stock ECU, personally I'd sell it. They don't have closed loop O2 feedback so you are going to get rubbish economy unless someone spends hours and hours on the lower load cells when tuning it.

its a dedicated drift car, so i dont care for economy lol

pulled the plugs out trent and there soaked in fuel....thats base mapping for ya.... gonna chuck in the 750's i got and bring it in on the 9th

yeah its showing 14.7 on the h/c. tried trimming it down to 20% but its still rich. . . plugs are soaked in fuel. . .

ignore that, its about 1000000000000000000000 light years off being accurate. use a real lambda sensor or lean it off in steps until it stalls then about 2 page up steps will get it idling if the wiring etc is all correct

Agreed. Just keep trimming it down. Is the vacuum/ boost line connected?

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
