Re: Shock Dyno Data Anyone?

The HTS112 were the "long stroke" version for use with cars at the stock height. The HTS102 were the "short stroke" version aimed at drift and race applications. https://i.imgur.com/gn7iPxv.png I would expect (but have no figures) that the two versions would be valved differently...

I never saw any dimensions for the paint scheme. Suggest you screenshot a few pics from
this video and give them to the painter. He should be able to work it out from there :)

Re: cannot get Link AtomX tach output to work with factory cluster

Just to be clear, the simple solution outlined above won't work with a dedicated tacho output that produces a 5 or 12V square wave. If that is how your tacho output works you will need to see if you can program a spare aux output to behave as a tacho and pulling the 12V supply to ground at the engin...

Re: cannot get Link AtomX tach output to work with factory cluster

If your ECU has a tacho output that switches 12V to ground you can produce a voltage spike suitable for driving an OEM AE86 ANALOG tacho with a small relay coil. That's easy :) What is difficult is knowing what kind of input signal (voltage/frequency) your DIGITAL dash requires. If the digital dash ...

Re: opinions on my efi journy

Have you tried locking the timing in the ECU to see if that calms things down ? You presently have two items that are capable of changing the timing with rpm... the MSD (programmable timing curve) and the ECU (ignition map). If both are active then your timing will jump around. Cheers... jondee86

So even though I have my trigger wheel and Hall effect sensor set up, it won’t work.

To get full sequential ignition and injection you need a reset (cam angle) signal that...

Clutch is not fully disengaging. Check the fluid level and check the clutch pedal adjustment. Tranny should be OK... what you have is normal when the clutch is dragging.

This may take a bit of untangling :) To sort this out (if it can be sorted) we need to identify the type of distributor and type of ECU as Toyota had several different types. So... 1. Going by the type of coil-igniter you have, it may have worked with a distributor containing a single trigger wheel ...

Re: opinions on my efi journy

Yeah... oversize injectors don't make any more power :) If you are using Denso injectors
just check that you have the right clips. The high res injectors have a different clip to low
res injectors so you might need to order some new clips.

Just a thought.... you can use low resistance injectors if you put resistors in line with them to limit the current draw. That's what the resistor pack on some versions of the 4AGE does. Your MicroSquirt® EFI controller will limit the injector current to ~5 Amps per driver. This may be too much for ...
