kpr Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 your cruise rows, put all the timing in by 3000-3500. 35-40 deg pretty much same deal with full load. but less. really wouldn't bother going over 30 unless you can measure some gains by going further. romandave: crank it up. 28 is about what i run on the stinky 4age with shitloads of compression. 37deg on cruise from memory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Jeff, just get a 36-1 trigger wheel and some ls coils out of the states for $100, add 2 extra coil drivers to the board and you will be away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Pretty straightforward to add coil drivers? Ideally that's what I'd like to do, in that case it would be full sequential right? Would it also need a cam angle sensor to know what phase the cylinder is at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 very very simple to add coil drivers. i assume they would use the standard BIP driver that i have 1x running my stock setup? its just a big to-220 cased transistor/coil driver. with a resistor soldered to one leg. that goes to a specific point on the board. the other two go to the coil (-) and a ground. the hardest part is actually finding a way to mount it nicely inside the ECU haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I would run it wasted spark so you only have to add 2 coil drivers to the board instead of 6 (they only come with 2). If you run wasted spark then there is no need to run a cam sensor either so that is a perk. Only down side is possibly a little worse economy and plug life, but realistically that isn't a problem. Motts cruiser runs wasted spark on a blown ls with no issues so they are good for a bunch of power haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Ah sweet. Sorry I thought they had 6 coil drivers for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 .. the hardest part is actually finding a way to mount it nicely inside the ECU haha I mounted my 3 drivers outside the ecu inside a little heat sink I made from alloy angle. Keeps inside of ecu really tidy plus less high current stuff running through plug. Allowed for nice beefy wires to coils too for less voltage drop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 i mounted mine on the floor of the ecu case. it did require cutting one corner off the PCB to fit the wire though to the external plug i put in. while this was fine and tidy for one coil driver/wire, any more and the wires wouldnt fit in the small gap the small piece of PCB that can be removed provides, so you'd need to use your imagination, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 can fit 2 inside a standard ali toyota ingntor case, if you smash the original guts out of them. so end up with a nice plug in 2 channel ignitor 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Nah when dave says drivers he means outputs not actual ignitors. Just logic level outputs which requires some bonus wires to get from the chip and doodads to the connector on the mega or microsquirt. Then use coils with built in ignitors eg. Ls coils, mitsi, Subaru etc there are quite a few options. I think Subaru ones from aliexpress are cheapest for a 4cyl setup but ls ones are probably stronger sparking 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testament Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 yeah that style, I thought new ones were available for not much more than that. or you might find them at pickapart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From listing.... we clean them and test them, look like new No they don't. They look like old coils that have been sprayed with wd40 then quickly had a photo taken while they look shiny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Be aware that you need an ignitor for those Subaru coils, they aren't logic level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 which ones did you get for the lotus dave? those with a separate ignitor box? or some other ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I used one of those subaru coils and a separate random dual channel ignitor, it wasn't a problem and worked great, but just a heads up that you need one for those coils. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ignition-coil-for-SUBARU-IMPERA-Impera-Legacy-OE-No-22435AA020/32222362248.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 current map. feels good, might bump the cruise rows up to a more flatter curve to boost economy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
