Re: Dwell vs rpm?
You may wish to use a less-than-maximum dwell for lower RPMs, which would yield a less-than-maximum spark intensity. Running at max dwell all of the time creates heat in the coil(s), which would shorten their life span. Reserve max dwell for WOT conditions. That's my guess anyways. That makes sense...

Re: I want to use MicroRusEFI on my motorcycle
1) Its ony 1/2 sync with only a crank trigger so you need batch fuel I think and that should give fuel every revolution. batch.JPG 2) MAP sync is in the cam signal settings map sync.JPG then just guessing be sure and set this to a rpm that you will have a good MAP signal...MAP goes away at WOT advan...

VE & Ignition blend tables with RPM too low axis value
The VE and ignition blend table allows RPM as the blend parameter but have a max value limit of 1000 on the axis, so too low for most RPM based uses. There was talk of bigger VE table on discord and the thought was the blend table could be used to effectively add additional rpm points....but the axi...

Re: FrankenFerrari - V12 Ferrari 308
Does your ECU support both passive and active coils? No, it a 0-5 25mA output that is now a 3.5-5V output. The 2-stroke setup works and starts the engine but the ecu loses its mind after about 10 minutes and timing goes funny I found a place that says they can probably repair it and I might try but...

Re: Charge Temperature Estimation
The pressure and density don’t matter, ONLY the mass flow rate. Less air movement, picks up more heat from the walls. More air movement, picks up less heat. I think what you're concerned with is temperature change so you can calculate mass flow. You measure pressure, you have velocity through VE an...

Re: Charge Temperature Estimation
I get the feeling you think charge temp estimation is for something that it's not. Maybe. I think I understand it but who knows. In my mind, if its tps/map v rpm it washes out in the VE table. I've done about a dozen installs now and tuned about as many again and I've never used this feature. I've ...

Re: Charge Temperature Estimation
The problem though, I think, is that it’s not energy transfer that is the concern, its temperature change. Obviously, the temperature is a measure of the thermal energy but the air is not cooling the manifold and port in any meaningful way so the density of the charge is mostly irrelevant and the te...

Re: Post start enrichment/warmup too short time/cycles
Talking generally about charge temp….its really hard to tune because on any given day it looks the same as VE effect wise. A buggered charge temp estimate gets mostly corrected while tuning the VE table. It will show up with the mixture looking different as ambient temp changes which kind of shifts ...

the effect you’re describing is EXACTLY what the charge temperature estimation is for.

Re: Post start enrichment/warmup too short time/cycles
I made the decision to just go into the .ini and change the max value to 10000. Its an F32 type so hopefully the ECU FW doesn't mind and the 1000 was a random choice that seemed big enough but isn't, at least not for my engine.

I'm looking through the warmup options and finding options that look like they will work.

Re: Charge Temperature Estimation
Looping back I was looking for a way to disable it because I'm pretty sure none of the options are correct. For any given engine, charge velocity is a function of RPM and independent of TPS. TPS and RPM together determine the density (and therefore mass flow) of the moving air but the velocity and p...
