The 034EFI setup looks very nice. The thread is located at: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2470106&page=6 ---- Progress 29 July 2006: ---- Progress 9 July 2006: Firmware r045, Megatune for 1.0.36 On conversion from firmware r023 several options were left unset in config which threw everything off quite a bit. Be sure to review all pages and set config accordingly. Enabling antilag and launch by accident will prevent engine from running. * Fuel cut was defaulted to 0kPa which confused me for a few minutes when it would fire while cranking but never start. * Autotune still wants to drag my VE values down to zero, even though they VE figures are fairly accurate. Anyone else experiencing similar problems? * Spark cut idle control works nicely, but now there are several pages for idle settings. Consolidation possible to avoid confusion? * Having trouble spinning motor faster than 6000 rpm. Can someone review my config (good03.msq) and recent datalogs and give some comments please? **We have this problem too with 1.0.36 firmware: when reaching something like 6000rpm, the engine shuts itself off. And then turning the starter, acts normal until you rev it more than 6000.... PeepPaadam ---- Progress report (Nov 11): Firmware r023 Starts and runs! Idles fairly smoothly with only set-screw holding throttle body at 4-5% open. Drove around a little bit, runs very well and all parameters look good. Accelerates much harder than when K-Jet was running the show, until it gets to the sections of fuel map I haven't tuned. I'll be reviewing logs today, updating tables and doing more testing, provided the rain stays away. Thank you, everyone, for your help! * Notes: * * VE table values had to be doubled even though req_fuel was set at value recommended by req_fuel calculators. * * Top dead center after trigger was retarded by 30 crank degrees. * * Use MegaTune to enable/disable features (misc_out, boost control, iac, etc). Disable values in config.txt inconsistent between feature channel outputs. * * LCD display is cutting out, displaying with strange offsets, otherwise acting funny. Vibration getting to headers or wiring elsewhere? Will test. ---- Config Latest/revised comments config: MembersPage/JimW/Config Notes about subsystems (to verify/justify config variables) on pages below * MembersPage/JimW/FuelSystem * MembersPage/JimW/InputTrigger * MembersPage/JimW/IgnitionOutput * MembersPage/JimW/AirFeed * MembersPage/JimW/Wiring * MembersPage/JimW/Sensors * Datalogs http://proton.shadowflux.com/vems/datalogs ---- My Genboard and LCD display: http://proton.shadowflux.com/vems/genboard_32_1.jpg http://proton.shadowflux.com/vems/lcd_box_1.jpg http://proton.shadowflux.com/vems/lcd_box_2.jpg ---- Optional: Add document to category: Wiki formatting: * is Bullet list ** Bullet list subentry ...
