kpr Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 your fuel map should go down to zero rpm. making the numbers the same from the column it idles in,, back down to zero rpm should get you close enough . Post a screen cap of you fuel map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kws Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I don't have a copy of the Ve table on my phone, but it starts at 600rpm as that's about 100rpm lower than my idle in gear. Not sure I have seen any use a Ve table that starts at 0rpm? can upload a screen cap tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 sorry haven't used anything tuner studio base for years. All the link stuff starts at 0rpm. im just guessing, but at cranking speed its probably going to use what ever is in your 600rpm column, plus your crank enrich. I take it you can adjust the crank enrich based on temperature? you are going to need a lot of crank enrich when cold and not so much when warm. did you end up moving the vr sensor closer?

yoeddynz Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 The boffin at Extra Efi has some good videos to watch. These two might be useful just to help you double check a few things (handily this boffin is a Rover V8 barry Boffin, hence the initial settings in the 'Extra' code one uploads onto an MS2 are for an RV8) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then fiddle your cranking enrichment until it starts faster hot.Then redo your cold fuel enrichment if necessary. Just a note on this... If you're using a MAP sensor, since your engine doesnt really generate any vaccum during cranking, or at start of cranking at least. You will find that the 0rpm 100kpa cell, you only ever reach this during cranking. So you can bump this value here specifically for cranking enrichment if needed.EDIT: Nevermind I was too stupid to read the last few pages before posting I've just spent a bunch of time trying to get my idle to start nicely under all conditions. Something to consider is that when you have the engine just running by itself, it's a lot different when you have full beams on, engine fan running, interior fan running, brake lights on, and loading it up as much as possible. Maybe exaggerated a bit if you have a light flywheel. So when you have your car hot and you're tuning the idle, do it all first with no load, and then put lots of load on it by turning everything on, and it will take you to a different set of cells and you might find your car runs like shit again. But if you hold these conditions you can then adjust fuel/timing/etc as needed to make it idle nicely there too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kws Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I havent moved the crank sensor yet, but i think thats the next step in things to do, so ill do it in the next few days. About to head to bed but ill watch those videos tomorrow, hopefully glean some info from them. Can confirm tonight that when warm starting, after a lot of cranking when it does start there is a big plume of black smoke emitted. Shes a tad rich. Megasquirt/Speeduino must work differently to Link because it doesnt reference the map at all until the engine in is "running" condition/over set/400rpm. From what i read today, the cranking enrichment is on top of the Req fuel, and apparently also on top of all other enrichments like WUE. I may need to wait until next months firmware update until i can fix the cranking richness, as thats when the cranking enrichment is changing from single point to a small map. My idle is mint, i spent a lot of time getting that sorted, and took special efforts to factor in all the load conditions i could (power steering with headlights on was the biggest drain for me).

kws Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Checked crank sensor, i get some drag when running 1mm of feeler gauges between the sensor and wheel. Guess its where it should be, any closer and it'd probably touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Do you have any logging you can use, so you can tell how long the ECU is taking to sync with the triggers while it's cranking? If it's getting a signal very quickly then you know you can start looking elsewhere, like fiddling with cranking enrichment or ignition values Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'm thinking of doing a fuel only EFI system for the KP. I'd buy this EFI system and ditch the ECU, MAF, loom and TPS and get a potentiometer type TPS, wideband O2 sensor, MAP and a Speeduino and make a new loom for it. I'd have to sort something out for an inline high pressure fuel pump near the tank. There are already mounts along the chassis for a return line, if I could track down a normal feed line for a KP I could just stick that in and use it as a return. I'd use the pulses from the ignition system (electronic distributor) to tell the ECU how fast the engine is running. I would also probably ditch the idle bleed air valve and replace it with something electrically actuated. I think I would need to make up some braces to support the EFI plenum as they look like they are missing. ~$400 for system from trademe ~$250 for speeduino ~$300 for wideband with controller ~$?? for fuel pump, hoses and filter - second hand or brand new pump? ~$?? for wiring, plugs, fuses and covers - I have decent soldering station and some electrical tools, I have a few rolls of wiring which should be suitable ~$?? for TPS and idle control valve - second hand or brand new units? Would a generic waterproof potentiometer be suitable for a TPS? ~$?? for intake piping and filter - maybe something off of an AE101? I'd aim to make something that is as bolt on as possible, from what I can gather I would get away with only having to drill a hole on the exhaust and put a bung on for the O2 sensor. I reckon I would get away with just putting a T on the fuel tank where the pump would go, allowing for the return fuel to get back into the tank. I'm not sure what I would do regarding baffling in the tank or if this would even be a huge issue with this car. I don't really want to do anything like putting a surge tank in as this would probably require drilling holes in the car. There are already mounting holes for a fuel pump assembly on the chassis of the car in front of the fuel tank. Would this be worthwhile or pushing shit up hill? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/toyota/other/auction-1381833266.htm I'd also like to do something such that it looks like factory and won't give me any issues come WoF time, I don't feel like forking out half a grand for a cert.

ajg193 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'd throw that bit out and just use the speeduino MAP sensor, I'd basically try and bring the system into the 21st century to some degree. All in the hopes of hitting 4 L/100 km on normal driving and whatnot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 What that ^ man said. Dont fuck around keeping a shitty old dizzy. Apart from obvious tuning benefits you'll have a much cleaner engine bay without a bloody ugly octopus sticking out from your block. Plus it means you can do all the wiring at once and make a neat job of it. Also I think we worked out previously that if you're careful you can build a speeduino for circa 100 bucks.

Computer ignition can always be done at a later date, but as you know it would require installing a crank or cam angle sensor. This would also mean I would need more/new ignition coils. I quite like the look of a 5 legged octopus. I guess if push comes to shove, I could always lock the advance mechanisms in the distributor and modify the cap slightly so that the posts are a bit wider, this would allow me to fire the coil pretty much whenever I want and get fancy timing curves like that. But I would still need to bodge together some sort of cam/crank sensor. I could be keen on building my own speeduino, I could alway duck down to the electrical department and swipe most of the required components.

I think the manifold wouldn't fit as the ports are a different shape compared to 4K. Fuel pump stuff would be nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 i have no fuel pump stuff. Just buy a china pump just get the 7K stuff and port the head for the bigger ports or use some filler to taper the 7K manifold. Bet it will run much better than a carb any which way haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
