More to come!

Just spent 45 mins looking through all of the posts and pictures.

Still entertaining to watch the progress

Thanks Jimmy!

If that ever changes, please let me know. I'd hate for my updates to become trite.








Big things a happenin'


I've been busily re-configuring Megasquirt, for the umpteenth time. I finally have a RPM signal. What a **** show that has been..


Long story short. I ripped out the EDIS system. Added another bip373 to the equation and was able to rip out that 90's Ford technology. - I lost the comment, but there was a user who basically told me to do this from the beginning, and I passed.... Tip of the hat to you, Sir. You were absolutely right. Thanks for the advice. Despite taking some time for it to sink in. You know who you are. :thumbup:


So I, reluctantly, opted to revert back to using the distributor. However, only for trigger signal this time. Shown with a replacement trigger wheel, that will make it easier for the ECU to read.



Here's the OEM Nissan trigger wheel installed in the distributor.



and a close up of the new 24-1-1 wheel.

Since I am not worried about the distributor actually distributing spark, I can cut down the washer/collar that holds both the rotor and trigger wheel in place. This will allow for a nice low profile cover to give the install an OEM-esque appearance.

Collar.




"A 'lil off the top, please"

And the OEM cover back on. I'll be turning this into something a bit more subtle, and a bit cleaner later.




So, as I mentioned, upon testing, I have a RPM signal now. I know I have fuel, and I know I have air.

Time to test for spark.


Testing the coils - the ECU only thinks there are three of them, but I still needed to confirm each pair was firing.

Spark!



That was last night.

I was sailing today, while waiting on some fresh spark plugs. Those arrived this afternoon.

Tomorrow, I double check timing.....and then I go for it.

Tomorrow could* be the day I hear it.

I'm nervous.



*almost didn't make this update just in case, as per usual, things go awry. But YOLO, Breh!

i think some of us are just as excited as you at this point lol good luck my friend.

excellent use of yolo, i approve

Good stuff.

Sounds like your idle timing is a little too retarded.

Where are you at with idle timing and your rates for advance? Not a nissan guy, just curious
