An Alternative Ecu Choice Worth Considering.

[Guilt-Toy]

yes i am running the ID1000s with the resistor pack removed, 1000cc is enough for me with -9's.

you dont have to run ID1000s you just need to remove your current setup and test it with a stock setup to see if this is the issue or not.

what turbo are you using to need more then 1000cc ???? even with e85 that is quite a bit of power.

[scotty nm35]

He is running Bosch ev14's 2000cc (xspurt) injectors, brand new. I doubt there is an issue with them, and I though Jez already tried another set of injectors? While I agree the 2000's are not as reliable as the 1000's due to being natural gas injectors there are plenty of people using them without issue, and Portaz is still running 98 so e85 can't be blamed...

Problem solved it was ecu we tried nistune and it was perfect, Andy will come to go over car and install 1280 ecu which is direct and not wasted spark thank god for that !

[scotty nm35]

Good news mate. Glad it's finally sorted, I could see it was doing your head in.

[portaz]

Sure was I was close to selling it as I had nothing more to give

[SargeRX8]

Is that a faulty ECU? Was was it the plug in or a wire in ECU?

[Guilt-Toy]

good work.

They tried another ecu.. i will put the issue down to being the tune in the ecu!

[portaz]

We tried nis tune and now on Wednesday it will be a adaptronic 1280 as wasted spark doesn't want to work in this application

[Impul_GT-R]

Out of interest, which version firmware were you running in the select ECU with the misfire problem? With the Nissan trigger there was a problem above ~6000rpm between versions 10.105 and 10.126 which has been remedied in 10.0127. If your version was outside of that range then it must have been something else.

[Guilt-Toy]

its not because its wasted spark. even the plug in vipec / link is using wasted spark and people are running massive power on those, ive seen waste spark pushing over 1500hp with no issues on really dirty engines

[Impul_GT-R]

+1 agree it's not because you were running wasted spark, especially on Nissan coils which only need 1.8ms of dwell time. If you do that maths at 1.8ms dwell a wasted spark setup could support up to around 12,000rpm. Interested to hear if it was a FW issue, The e1280s will give you full sequential fuel delivery, end of injection timing and whatever fuel/ign calcs your tuner might want to dream up if he's competent with the advanced view interface though.

[portaz]

I should clarify , same tuner same dyno different style of ecu, I must say I thought jez may give up as he flys out on hols soon but he is about as stubborn as me and it seems Andy is too really thanks guys even though we havnt completed e 85 tune I'm really stocked and adjusting dwell made no difference, well what ever it is that's the cause the nistune didn't suffer same issue not sure on firmware though I'm sure the boys looked at it

[Guilt-Toy]

it has to be something to do with the tune / setup in the ecu running those injectors properly.

[portaz]

I did suggest injector timing as in 360 or 720 (not sure exactly ) but on select its not adjustable in the 1280 it is but what's strange is there was 2 cars there running same ecu injector setup with no issues so its a but of a mystery till Wednesday , I've researched that when the Japanese change engines in r 32 they always put a new engine loom in if that's true maybe there's a reason for it I guess

[Impul_GT-R]

Either way it sounds like you're on top of it, from an engineering perspective it would have been nice to identify the issue before blanket fixing it with another ECU. Injection timing adjustment is available on v10.127 now by the way but it's only injector phasing (so the adjustment is in 120 degree steps on a 6 cyl), not injection end angle adjustment as is the case the with the 1280.

[portaz]

Then I wonder what version it was cause I was under impression it was un adjustable oh well as you said its done now

[Guilt-Toy]

so he has other cars there with the same ecu and same injectors but there are no issues ???

ooooo i love head f**ks like this. wish it was me. i would not be changing the ecu i would be trying to find whats causing the problem.

never give up

[portaz]

Yes I used to but since my brain surgery I can't deal with them as well as before unfortunately

[msmith]

I'll be buying it in the next week. Been talking to Andy aswell just trying to get my head around the VE tuning and all that.

I've had a play with WARI and am much happier with in in regards to usability over haltech and vipec software.

Because of my limited mods it seems i can use the base ignition and fuel maps. Once i get it i plan to make some changes to the base fuel map using my wideband and the fast tuner.

[Guilt-Toy]

well the software is very different from all other platforms that i have seen. once you know where everything is its pretty good.

i never use the fast tuner... let us know how you go with it.
