Megasquirt Project, .....IT RUNS ! Options

[Michelj13]

Hi,

Although I have been a member for a while (since I purchased my 914), I have not posted much. I still love my 914 and it's is interesting how this car drives like an absolute go-cart.

Anyway, my engine is a carbed 2270 that I built up with the help of many including Jake, and I am now embarking on a Megasquirt project. As many know, megasquirt is relatively inexpensive for a programmable FI system. I find, however, that there is too much information out there that it is nothing short of confusing. I want to share my progress so that at the end of the day, some may learn and may become less intimidated. Hopefully I will be successful....we'll see.

I have so many questions that I will post, along with some things that I have already learned. ANY and ALL comments appreciated.

I made a youtube video of my progress up to date. Enjoy!

If you set 5 ATDC timing in TunerStudio (or Megatune), What does the timing read with a timing light? These numbers should match. If not, you need to change the trigger offset value in the software until they match. Do this first before changing advance values in the table.

Also, What does your AFR read? I don't think you have answered the question if you have a wideband sensor. It is very possible that your engine mixture is off and this is why you need such advanced timing.
