Link to Data-log Link G4+ ECU: https://1drv.ms/u/s!An_ML36HZBw-hhz3uvNXSiDLCIZp

 

Hi,

I am having hard boost or fuel cuts at around 6k RPM. First I thought it was due to overboosting (boost cut). But on checking the data log with my tuner we noticed that the trigger kit was having a malfunction during pulls. Boost or fuel is cut very hard. RPM gauge in the car really flips hard bounces back and forward. Red engine light pop-ups. In the data log you see the ECU measures engine speeds of 35k+. So the trigger/crank sensors are having some hard time for some reason.

I have a built engine and head with a full Ross trigger kit.

Hope someone can assist or has experience with this issue and what the possible cause(s) can be.

Check the air gap between the sensor and the wheel. I would put money on it being wrong.

A word of caution. Sort it out ASAP. This is no different to smashing the limiter… and we all know how much RB oil pumps love that.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. You mean the air gap between the crank sensor and the wheel, just to be sure? I read that it should be 1 to max 2mm for both the crank as for the cam sensor.

 

Thanks.

Correct, the crank trigger sensor and crank trigger wheel.

Closest you can get without touching is best, so ideally under 1.5mm is recommended. I run a Ross trigger with hall effect GT101s. I have no shims on cam home at the standard set 1.4mm gap and the crank end is shimmed to be about 50 thou, which is about 1.25mm down here.

Since the sensor is attached to the closed 'cap' over the cam gearing?

The sensor cannot be mounted onto the plastic cam cover. Not solid enough. Needs to be mounted on a solidly connected bracket. All of that can be put in place without the cover.

If it is like that, and it is under the cover, then the cover needs to come off to check.

If it connected to the cover, then it needs to change. Tout de suite.

Threads at 2 of the 3 locations where you attach the cam trigger cap are not very good anymore. At least not with the bolts (believe m10) that were in there now. One bolt was already loose and when putting the cap back in, I couldn't get a 2nd bolt in. So now I'm stuck with 1 bolt. Can imagine that at high revs this could cause vibrations in the ross cap and thus the cam tooth giving a wrong signal to the sensor. Tomorrow just looking for slightly longer m10 bolts. Air gap of the crank looked very close and oke.

Hope this would fix the issue quit easily but I am not sure.

Well an update.

The air gaps looked very very close and perfect. Ran the car a bit. Still had the issue. Was about to turn around but decided to do one more 2nd to end 3rd pull. No trigger cuts. Look at the oil temp was around 72c. I have an oil cooler (no AC) behind the intercooler. So oil temps take long time to get up.

Did 10 more pulls 2nd to 4th, no cuts. Would it be possible the engine limit/speed is limited by certain oil temps below 70c?
Makes it even harder to put my finger on the issue. Problem seems to go away when the car is good on temperature.

From what I saw, Adam had replied to your log suggesting you very much have a trigger issue. He will review the config file for you if you are nice to him.

 

The only time i had a trigger issue with link was when i have a poorly set pin on a deutsch plug.

If he can that would be awesome ofcourse. I really have no clue what causes it at this point. Id rather pin point it myself with the help of you guys before I drop it off at a shop and they have to spend hours searching..

Post up your map  *never mind, just looked through your log, trigger errors for sure.

Yes trigger errors indeed. Non the less here is the map file. Perhaps someone can see something suspicious.

Thanks for the help so far.

Hi,

Well I have no idea what the cause might be. Whenever the oil is above 70c and intake temps are above 24-26c I have no trigger issues at all. But when the outside temp is low and intake temps are under 20c and engine oil doesnt come above 62-66c (external oil cooler) I have the trigger issues.

My tuner checked the map and there are no engine oil temp restrictions on power delivery/rpm targets.

Anybody any idea what else could cause this? Feel free to check the mapfile here above.

 

Thanks.

And Ross Performance will happily ghost you when things go south.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
