Euro headlights

retard the timming as the map numper go up untill the knocking go away. keep the advance at the lower map numbers.

I posted my setting some where a while back. that might be a good start. I have changed it some I detuned it some at low RPM as it took off a littel too much with the tiny bit of movment that kinda made it hard to drive in bumper to bumper traffic. to I reduced the timming and gave less power down low that seem to make it better for driving at super low speeds.

Programming engine timing

Let's keep this thread on topic please.

Gary,

Let's start another topic. Lots to ask about your setup.

Let me make an addition to this thread that everyone seems to be scared of making up some brackets to make the Euro lights fit. Yes, you have to make a small bracket because there is a sheet metal difference between the US and World Alfa 75s.

It cost me $2.43 at the hardware store. I bought some pre-drilled metal brackets (L's) and cut them at the angle, enlarged the hole, and cut up my fingers as I bolted them in.

brackets=easy
finding the EU light very hard...

I found a European supplier who carries the lights and will ship to the US, at least as of a year ago. Unfortunately they were hellishly expensive, and with the dollar having sunk since then are probably super-hellishly expensive right now. But here you go:

Found a source for Euro headlamps

I was worried about the brackets as well but it turned out to be really easy. I just bought some perforated steel strap at the hardware store and bent it into a "C" using vice grips. Works like a charm.

My megasquirt arrived today. The CPU chip fell of during shipping and has bent pins. I'm going to check the PCB for damgage. The whole thing looks really simple, maybe I should have just built one..

LOL!!!!!!

Starter of the thread doesn't care.

OK I run semi seq. and wasted spark as I did not add a cam sync.(yet? I did run the wires)
my Req Fuel is 9ms so if you run batch I think the Req Fuel might differ as you fire them all at the same time. while I only fire 2 at a time.



With the WBO² to will make it go to this Lambda. so all I have to do it get it to run drive a while loging and just look at the offsets it had to do and add or subtract from the VE and after just a few drives the VE map is very close to done.

OK since we're off topic anyways. You can easily mod the dissy for the home signal to run sequential.
