My current setup, just need it reviewed

There may be one or 2 things that i need to tweak that i didn't notice
I"m running a 3 Rotor engine
The firing configuration is 1-2-3. Each rotor fires once per revolution (0* - 120* - 240*)
My injector setup consists of 6 injectors.
-3 550cc primary injectors for idling and low range
-3 1600cc secondary staged injectors to pick up extra fuel demand for the top end

My ignition setup consists of 3 coils with no ignitors attached.

Heres most of the menu options for all my settings.

Got an update of changes from Jason on his recommendations

-4 cycle
-6 cylinder
-3000 rpm constant
-injpwm DC to 100% (my injectors are high impedence)
-MAP(load) multiplication disabled
-On alternate banks i had it set up as 3..0 instead of 2..0 (for primary injectors)

Injector ramp up time looks a tad short at 72

Have a read here http://megasquirtavr.sourceforge.net/manual/Detailed.Output.Fuel.html#Config

I would suggest a value of 800 as a point to start and tune from there ;)

coil charge time looks a little large at 4.5, try 3 to start with, unless you know the 4.5 to be correct

bcool

I'll look into the rampup. On our coils 4.5 dwell is just right. Most of the haltech guys use anywhere from 4-4.5ms

Just another thought, would a three rotor engine be classed as an 'odd fire' engine?

bcool

I think jason would have pointed it out if it was. What makes you say that though?

Sprocket

Dunno, i was thinking its a three cylinder engine, thats all. I supose it depends what is meant by engine type, what is an odd fire engine.

This was the main reason for asking the question, maybe to highlight a possible mal configuration?

bcool

Oh I also plan to use the tach output. 2 questions:

I was planning on putting a 1000ohm resistor between 12v in and the #3 pin, from what I've read this should work (pending that my tach takes the 12v signal) will it?

and what is the divider on the tachometer setting?

Just a last check on my H tables:

h[0]=01 03 06 0B 14 25 00 00
h[1]=AF 74 AF BA B1 74 AF 74
h[2]=20 10 00 00 00 00 00 00

I'm really sketchy on the injector setup. While cranking i wasnt getting injector pulses out of injectors 4-5-6 which is good, but i want to make sure that my injector staging will work properly since i haven't seen any staged injector setups yet.

Heres what my staged injector setup looks like injector 1 is on the front rotor and injector 3 is the rear rotor:

4-5-6
1-2-3

bcool

Also my injector output table has changed in megatune

0----1
1----3
2----6
3----11
4----20
5----37

Looking at the H[0] table...
The 1's indicate the FET channels that will be firing with each entry.

H[0]|32168421
25|100101
14|010100
0B|001011
06|000110
03|000011
01|000001

Which shows a lot of activity on four and a number of channels being fired twice...
I'm not sure what you're looking for with this, is it something like:


H[0]|32168421
24|100100
12|010010
09|001001
04|000100
02|000010
01|000001

bcool

So my table should look like :

h[0]= 32 16 08 04 02 01 00 00


Each one of the primary injectors 1-2-3 will fire once per engine revolution in that exact order.

I want to get the primary injectors right but I don't want the secondaries to kick in till a certain kPa value.

h[2] table still looks incorrect?? is '00' not used to disable the entry?? so you only have two ignition chanels??

*Edit* Apparently not ::)

That injector table would be correct if you want to swap the primaries over to the secondaries.

bcool

#14
What do you mean by swap? Like the secondaries would be firing as the primaries? Would you care to give an example of a correct table for this?


Heres my setup now, in case there's any confusion:
