Re: New MS Install-280zxturbo

Ok, strange that the board doesn't have the driver because I thought all later boards came with it. I'll ask DIY to install one and do a diagnostic of the entire board. As far as how how it runs now without one, I can only say that I've completed wiring as if the driver is installed. The factory ecu ...

Re: New MS Install-280zxturbo

Is it possible that the 3.57 board was ordered without the coil driver? Do I need to install one?
I tried again to set timing and that thing is all over the place! I could get no repeatability or pattern by moving the trigger offset angle around. 60adv would get me 60 sometimes and sometimes I would ...

Re: New MS Install-280zxturbo

I uploaded some wiring information for my dizzy in this thread, and my msq is loaded also. Can you get to those answers from that? I thought I was controlling spark w MS. I have the dizzy wired to terminal 15 on the relay board, and the coil on terminal 11. If I config MS to spark based on my dizzy ...

Re: New MS Install-280zxturbo

I'll have to wait until this evening and right now it's just after noon here in Dallas.
The firmware was 2.88 if that gives any indication of which module was used.

Re: New MS Install-280zxturbo

See the attachments. I compiled wiring diagrams and written instructions from ZCar.com, DIY, Hybridz.
I struggled with the wiring, primarily because I'm not sure I identified the neg terminal correctly on the coil.

Re: New MS Install-280zxturbo

Okay I ran the timing light again this evening (fuel pump fuse pulled out), these are my findings:
No matter what I set trigger offset at I could not tell any change in timing. I went from 10deg retard to 5 to 0, to +5, +10, +15, +20, +25. Each time the timing mark was showing somewhere around 30ish ...

Thanks. I have had RPM above 300 and while using the same cranking pw. Trigger angle is a different story though. I have had the same rough idle at 2deg btc as I have with 40deg btc, both built within Trigger Angle. Confused,
Check out this log attached. I have issues with repeatability. For ...
