ajg193 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It's interesting how the perspective of the image makes the higher starlet look so much bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Still in the garage trying to get some last minute things done before the classic jap meet. Found some black spray paint and have lots more black bits on the KP now haha. Another busy day tomorrow and then a nice relaxing Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hey, guys, i did stuff! //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/36476-neds-7k-drop-hatch-starlet/?p=1609820 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Wow! Kudos to you! That is some next level electronic wizardry right there! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Agree with that guy.. WOW. so can you test the PCB and its functioning virtually before you have them made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 cheers guys, and no, you just take a punt and hope you're up to the task really. you CAN probably model bits of the circuit in some weird program, but thats only part of it as the layout often has a lot to do with it all and you cant really. Plus i've never used the modeling software so wouldnt even know where to begin haha. you just design a schematic (kinda like a wiring diagram) and then you do the PCB layout and route all the tracks etc. The software will tell you if your PCB matches the schematic and can perform a design rule check, where you can setup things like "i want my tracks to be no closer than 0.15mm from each other" and it will run through and tell you if that all passed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 what is the limitations of this ECU, or even the microsquirt? Could it run say a six cylinder engine with wasted spark (three ignition coils), sequential injection, VVT on/off output, input for a handful of temp sensors?

Ned Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Has 2 ignition and 2 fuel with 2 more fuel outputs that need extra drive circuitry to use it. Its really made for 4 cyl batch injection and wasted spark but can do sequential injection if you really want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 ah right, counts that out then hah. Need at least three ignition outputs, possibly six if I go COP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbbrad Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 The microsquirt has 2 ig outputs and can be configured to a total of 4 ig outputs. These things run ls v8's directly in wasted coil on plug ignition. So yes will run a 6 cyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbbrad Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Whats the progress on the ecu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 So the ECU has 6 outputs good enough to do fancy timing for spark or injection. 2 injection and 2 spark and 2 that go to low side switches. Those low side switches can be used to drive a coil if need be, but need some extra hardware (just like a microsquirt) and they may not actually work very well for old style spark? they may have to be logic input like COP or newer LS coils but not sure, havent looked into it that much. The board is being made, i expect that to get shipped today/tomorrow so hope to have it early next week. The parts have already been shipped, so they will arrive monday first thing new motor has been found and am picking that up tomorrow afternoon, and the car is already at Cams where we'll be utilizing his new garage toys this weekend for engine swap Then next week will be make and test board and then do wiring etc weekend after... gonna be fun!

Ned Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Spent the weekend swapping engines //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/36476-neds-7k-drop-hatch-starlet/?p=1614406 next mission, wiring and plumbing EFI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
