BDC redid my map and gave me all the stuff to update my firmware. car seems to be running better. gotta take it out on the road and see what happens https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



thanks again B!

cool beans, go drive it!

i did there is still something wrong with https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

Post up your map, i'd like to take a look. Maybe i'll see something out of place.

i'm 99% sure its not a tuning issue....

I'm not sure how Ito did your marks on your main pulley, but I could swear the ignition settings in the E6K for the FD was 67 degree trigger angle, # of teeth 24, tooth offset 5.



B

Yep.

i guess i could try that ?

yah, just becareful boosting it. the rx8 when the engine is under 500 rpm just randomly sparks and randomly fires the injectors, to get it started, so even if its off it should run

when i go home from work i'll try it

I vote for getting ahold of Ito and finding out what those marks are. From there, time it accordingly and make sure it's zero'd out. Unless you've got an aftermarket pulley or front hub or something, I don't see why the trigger settings shouldn't be 67, 24, and 5. According to what I know on the FD, they have a crank trigger wheel that is bolted down to the front hub w/ the same assymetric bolt pattern the pulleys are and the timing cannot be natively adjusted.



B

well its a stock pulley. i'm gonna change the timing and rev it and see if its better

Except you probably won't notice anything by revving it. If anything it will idle poorly if the timing is screwed up too much to start with.

it idles a bit weird .......



when i locked timing to zero idle smoothed out

the timing light is my friend

one setting was wrong under ignition settings.... switched it. gotta take it for a drive now. crossing my fingers!

Doh, my bad. :(

ok.....so, are we saying that trigger1 degrees BTDC on the FDs is always 67???

i am running a wolf 3d, but here in malta europe....not many rotary gurus....



thanks...



i got a very rich idle and the trigger one is set at 57deg...
