Summary of change:
Car is my friends '86 928 S with 4.7litre V8, Strosek body kit and ultra-wide Folger 18inch wheels. Engine produces 310hp stock. This is the beast: http://www.carrating.org/documents/cars/u/U3R3o585q6Z5p5o1x252.jpg It had LH-Jetronic from the factory. LH was fuel only, spark was distributed by two(!) 4cylinder dizzys! I threw old engine compartment wiring off and applied 8 VW COP ignition coil. Car has 100-1 tooth wheel on the flywheel with VR sensor. '''Redline RPM''': 7000rpm Overlapping dwell firmware will be needed for this (1.0.60 or 1.0.61 or later, though we do further tests on table and other tuned engines). With '''100-1 trigger wheel''' and old firmware it seems to lose teeth above appr 6000 RPM (=> wheel error => cutting spark => misfires, resulting loud backfiring through the exaust). The overlapping dwell firmware pushes the limit beyond 1 million tooth per minute for N-1/N-2 (>10000 RPM with 100-1 wheel, >16666 RPM with 60-2 and >20000 RPM for lower N). The InputTrigger/AudiTrigger is not N-1 (uses a different handler), so 135 tooth allows > 10000 RPM there. If necessary (which I doubt), these RPMs can be pushed further, since the average CPU load allows 3..5 times higher, just the longest branch can be split to allow even higher tooth-frequency. * VR sensor; after some tweaking I got '''steady rpm signal without trigger errors'''. * separate page for ignition: MembersPage/PeepPaadam/PorscheIgnition ---- '''COPS''' * VAG part number 036 905 715 A ** It turned out that the owner gave me wrong pinouts for the COPs (this prevented operation for a while); when I found out about it and fixed it by swapping two pins, I got good spark immediately at the plug! Old guessing: It seems to be the same as the ones at the COP page here (pin1- +12V supply, pin2- Ground, pin3- +5V signal and pin4- Ground), but can anyone confirm this? I measured the resistance between pins. it's like that: Between pin 1 and 4 = 390 ohms, between pin 3 and both 1 and 4 40kOhm and betweens pins 3 and 2 16kOhms. What is the '''known pinout''' than ??? ---- 26.09.06 - old speculation (the COPs were connected according to bad pinout => no spark Got the wiring done and since I have two of the 8 COPs needed, i thought I'd try to get a spark on the plug. Ok, got everything hooked up correctly and I set dwell to 3ms, cranked and.....Nothing! Disconnected the coil and measured (how? what equipment ? what settings ?) the output of Genboard while cranking, it was something like 1.2-1.3 volts for a second and then dropped to 0.08-0.1 volts. If you measure with a DVM in DC mode, that measures '''mean voltage'''. Eg. 5V, 20% of the time (80% off) measures 1V. Yes, I measured DC voltage, appr 1V, so it's all ok then. * Check InputTrigger/TriggerLog ... maybe no need if no wheel errors and RPM steady * MegaTune log is often useful * config and tables for this car: MembersPage/PeepPaadam/Config_Tables ** config looks like wasted spark setup. I'd start the car with wasted spark coilpack, and only move to COP later. * check if the right outputs are selected * make sure there is fuse protection for each ignition transformer (3A per transformer; if it's only possible to fuse them paired, than 5A; use 7.5A if fuse powers 4 channels; use 10A if fuse powers 8 channels, but use more fuses if possible, that is always possible with COPs). * use mdn03 (mdn02, mdn01, mdn00) to fire small spark (make some sparkgap - not necesserily from sparkplug - outside the engine so you can see; make sure the total gap is sufficient, eg. end of stripped wire 1mm from block ). Try to drive just one COP from an ign-channel, even if your original plans were to drive 2 COPs from 1 channel ----- 3.10.06 Started the car today after i connected the fuel pump. * It ran ok, except for lumping a bit below 2000rpm. What could be the cause of that? * [http://www.hot.ee/raceboy911/928.xls Datalog] Any ideas?
