I'm in the process of installing the Beta KitCarlson EMS. Today it ran. I've been working on modifying the wiring harness to match the stock layout. I had one wire in the wrong place today which made it keep running even when the key was off. Fixed that and now it idles great.
Things I've done so far: - Modify the wiring harness. - Buy plug wires that will work with the new coil. - Made an adapter plate to mount the coil in the stock location. Things I still have to do: - Send the harness to Jeff B. for replication. - Fine tune the engine. - Make a mounting plate for the brain to put it in the stock location. |

Mark,
Just read your post. You should set the RPM higher! You should have idle set to ~900 RPM. Use the air bypass screw on the TB. Idle below ~700 RPM keeps the timing locked at static timing (no electronic advance or dwell control) it is designed for starting only. You are also operating to the left of the VE table data that starts at I guess 900, depending in the idle speed setting. My experience on 3 other 2.0L applications suggest the stock TB is fine without modification with standard or a 73 cam. Keep your VE table values smooth in the upper left quadrant, this is where MAP is low and RPM is low. Set correctly the idle should be both smooth and strong, better than a stock D-Jet. Dave |
