MSS tændingstuning(Megasquirt relateret)

Lidt info om hvordan man nemt og relativt hurtigt finder den "optimale" tændingsavancering for en given motor.
Sakset fra en tråd:
Here is my method:
I got Streetdyno working on my computer. This permits very
reproducible (but not accurate absolutely) output measurement if
applied correctly. Signal comes from the VR crank sensor. With this
working reliably I started with a baseline WOT run using an advance
curve which, in my case, came from the manual. I then did runs with
the complete curve retarded and advanced by a fixed amount, say +/- 4
deg. Very easy with the Tuning feature in MSS. When plotting torque
values at fixed rpms, you can quickly see if you gain or lose vs. the
baseline run. I was even able to detect High speed knock when
overadvancing (significant drop of torque). I also repeated the
baseline run after playing with the curve to make sure I did not have
any significant drifts during the course of the runs (oil, water
temps). This gives a reliable and optimal WOT advance curve. For part
load, I found a publication stating a function of additional advance
over AFR (Lambda) - pretty linear, approx 5 deg per AFR. Knowing my
AFRs at any given point in the map (using WBO2 meter with MSquirt) I
was then able to calculate advance at any given bin.
Engine runs very well with good mileage. I am planning to confirm the
validity of that approach doing a WOT run with lean (l=1.2) settings.
Unfortunately, winter is here now and these things have to wait.
One more thing I keep repeating: optimum setting is not necessarily as
close to knock as possible. This maybe so with a high compression
engine at high loads. Overadvancing spark will lead to high mech.
stress and less power, as you said.
Good luck tuning,
Matthias
Samarbejdet mellem Streetdyno og MS er der en del der har haft meget glæde af. Måske der var nogen herinde der også kunne bruge infoen. Enjoy.
