Title: How is coil dwell calculated? Is there a table for this?
Post by: NOTORIOUS VR on March 13, 2012, 04:03:54 PM
Wondering if we have control over the ignition dwell times for the coils... would be nice to see if we can slightly increase spark output this way.

Unless of course this is hard coded?

i can't answer this, but i did just complete the 2.0t ignition coil conversion.  the car has never, not matter what I've done to it or how it's been tuned, been this smooth.  i highly highly recommend doing the conversion or buying the 034 kit...   i can't wait to check my gas mileage after 1000 miles.

I have the adapter plates and D style plugs.. just need to sit down and remove my engine harness so I can open it up and do the new plugs

I can't give you the tables off of the top of my head, but I think you wanna look at AZUE in the FR.

this is good to know.  i'm on my original coils and pos modules and don't have any issues - but they have to have deviated from optimum after all these years and miles.  i've been planning on a full refresh but if the 034 conversion works well then that seems to be the way to go.

KFTSRL -> RPMxLoad
TSMX -> max

^^^Thanks... gonna look into that

Be careful with coil dwell time as too much time will damage the coils badly. Ideally, it is dependant on battery voltage and combustion pressure although not all EMS take the combustion pressure into concideration.

Yes I am aware of this... but good info regardless!

I was going to post this yesterday, but I haven't completely gone through it.  Specifically zuesz-band (interval ignition/spark band ignition). The function is clear in ZUESZ but I haven't gone through the implementation in AZUE.

The coil dwell time szout_w is calculated out of KFSZT (voltage dependant closing time) and factored by FSZTM (engine temp dependant factor).

KFSZT (nmot, ub)
FSZTM (tmot)

As I understand it KFSZT or FSZTM are only utilized at low engine speeds/ide and the rl/nmot maps are utilized when it counts.

Took a brief glance at the FR, the output from the maps you listed, szrl_w, doesn't get applied anywhere.

The output to hardware occurs in AZUE based on szout_w from the maps I listed.

Do you have any more info on this?

Also, does anyone know the purpose of subfunction zuesz-band?
It's output to AZUE as well, but it's inactive due to CW-FUBND=0.

carefully reading func desc for azue/zuez and realizing there are 2 'igntion regions/ranges' dictated by b_zl. then noticing zuez has an output of szcal which is the only output switched by b_zl. im making the assumption the notes are incomplete. and szout from zuez is prematurely labeled or szout is only part of what is used to set dwell and it factors in szcal as well. ie. szout = dwell time but szout *+or/ szcal = dwell angle which is more applicable when using crankposition as a gauge when to start/stop dwell.

Could it be that the system has the ability, but it is simply not applied anywhere we see because it is only utilized in direct injection systems?

I like the direction this is going.  BTW, I might be waterjet cutting my own coil adapter plates, and might consider doing a bunch of them at the same time to hook some fellow NefMoto'ers up, if you guys would be interested.

Yea, another quick glance this morning revealed "ME7 is configured for single spark and dual spark output".

Any tutorials how to do the 2.0t conversation? ;)

Have you bothered to look closer at AZUE function notes? The more I look at it the more I hold to my previous statement.

Yea, I just got to the part that resembled what you were saying, but I had to run. I'm gonna have another look later.

It looks like the maps I listed are for igniton range 1 (low engine speed). There is a hard switch to ignition range 2 when engine speed crosses the threshold SY_NZUEB.

It looks like the code is there for dual spark ignition. What pros and cons are there for this and what hardware changes would be required?

It looks like this can be implemented without any hardware changes and could really benefit E85 cold starts at least.
