    Robbins is the worst. I had 3 tops fail on my Miata. The first failed in 1 year, the second in 3 years, and the third one just failed in only 4 years. Both of the last ones had the rear window literally fell out from sitting in the Texas sun! They never paid for getting my window installed for the warranty service. Somehow they; decided that since I had installed it, it wasn't "professionally" done, so they wouldn't pay. I'll never buy another Robbins top. I hope you have better luck.

    1:32 - the Simple algorithm is not PID control. When using simple, it compares reported AFR to target AFR. If it's richer, it decreases EGO Correction by the Controller Step Size %, if it's leaner, it increases EGO correction by the Controller Step Size %. You will notice that Controller Step Size % is disabled when you select the PID algorithm. 8:34 - MegaSquirt uses a type C PID controller for nearly all PID loops; the P term is uncoupled from the SP and cannot correct error. If you only use the P gain and zero out the other gains, it will only react to changes in the PV, but it cannot reduce error except by accident. The I gain must be used for any error correction to occur. Note that in a beta release of MS3 firmware there was an attempt to use a type B controller but based on the latest MS3 firmware release notes (1.6.0) I don't believe that change was used in production. Additionally in MS3, the Generic Closed-Loop options lets you choose between type B and type C, but you cannot make this choice for idle/EGO/boost PID loops.

    @3lm3rfudd I ran at 230ish with Toyota Cops for a while with no problems at the stock gap. You can watch for blowout at the top of your boost range by logging and looking for drop offs in power and a sudden richness spike in the afr. If you see that, then just gap the plugs down a bit like .035 or .030.

  • @OGPedXing

    If you have an earlier Miata, 90 thru 93 then you'll have a single plug for the ignitor vs 94 and up have two plugs for the 2 coil packs. The wiring in general is similar but I haven't seen a female plug for that sold that will go into your oem harness directly, unfortunately. What most do is cut off the plug from the oem side and wire it to your new cops harness directly. There are some decent diagrams here wiki.fome.tech/Vehicle-Specific/Mazda-MX5-Miata/Miata-COP-Conversion/

  • @OGPedXing

    It can vary. The number itself is somewhere from 0 to 255, so your setup and hardware needs 70 at idle while someone else with a 1.6 engine, other injectors will be lower. If your idle is stable and at the afr you want, then you are good. If your map is too high at the top (you're running a lot of boost and you are close to 255) you can modify required fuel and then bring your map numbers down. But usually, it won't matter.

  • @OGPedXing

    Running a few seconds is a good start...crank fuel is probably ok, and after start enrichment (ase) is enough but warm up enrichment is too low. For now increase that. You may need to up the fuel ve table in general, but you can get that fixed after warmup is done. Once your fuel ve is stable for idle, then you can decrease the warmup enrichment a bit because the next time you start, it will be rich. Ase and wue require a few cold starts to dial it in.

    Not to contradict but Alcohol burns slower and less "explosively" than gas. But it burns longer so and applies less combustion pressure but for a longer period of time to effectively apply more total pressure to the crank through the piston and rod. This is why alcohol makes more power and is less destructive to internal engine parts. As a side note on alcohol dirt mods we find that typically we don't or shouldn't add more timing as it doesn't add any power. The longer burn time on the power stroke seems to be the big benifit and using that up by advancing timing won't provide any advantage.

  • @OGPedXing
    @OGPedXing3 ай бұрын

    In my research, the laminar flame speed of ethanol is .455 meters per second vs .4 m/s for gasoline. That's what I was referring to. That doesn't necessarily contradict your points, though. Full combustion is different from flame speed. On a dyno, you will typically be able to get more power in any part of the curve where gasoline was knock limited by advancing the timing. Other places, it won't help and may lower mbt.

  • @matthewmoilanen787
    @matthewmoilanen7873 ай бұрын

    @@OGPedXing According to the national institute for health combustion rates for gasoline are faster than for alcohol and flame speed propagation in a non enclosed area has no effect on combustion rates. Typically any ability to advance timing has to do with the cooling effect of alcohol fuels when inserted in the fuel air tract of an internal combustion engine as u have stated making it less knock prone. In my years of racing (I'm 63) with a race gas powered car ignition advance can be run as much as 35 total degrees. Alcohol engines tend to rarely use any more than 28. Of course adjustments will probably have to be made in a street driven vehicle.

  • @OGPedXing

    @matthewmoilanen787 Hmm, that's not my experience at all. Just with my Miata, 28 degrees is very low...down a lot from max torque. I don't have the paper in front of me, but it is measured in a compressed state (piston) at lambda = 1.

  • @matthewmoilanen787
    @matthewmoilanen7873 ай бұрын

    ​@@OGPedXingOf course you'll want to adjust accordingly for your street driven vehicle, combustion chamber type, valve train type, bore stroke ratio, ect but we and most other dirt or asphalt oval guys seem to settle on about 28-32 max. If u have made Dyno runs and found your ideal to be more than 28 then you should of course do that. Most importantly is that more timing isn't necessarily optimum but it may work well in your case. I have been told by the so called "pro" engine guys that the biggest benefit for them was the increased burn time and pressure application on the power stroke. They have explained that starting the fire too early just pulls power sometimes because combustion pressure starts to rise while the piston is still raising. You seem to be doing a great job on explaining the installation of this control unit and if it works better for you with more advance good on you for finding that out and pulling that last bit of power. Again nice work on the vids as you are a huge help to allot of people trying to work this stuff out!

  • @OGPedXing
    @OGPedXing3 ай бұрын

    I have sprayed at temps up to about 38 c. But I wouldn't go higher than that. The reason is the dip will flash dry almost immediately out of the sprayer, leaving you with a bumpy or grainy texture. A couple of tips to help: spray at night or very early morning, you need about 4 hours or so to get the required number of coats down, although dry time between coats (normally 20 minutes) can be shortened to 10 minutes. 2) Thin the dip first with a little solvent like xylene. This will make for a lighter product going on and it will help with smoothness. Downside is that it is more prone to running, so many lighter coats may be needed. 3) store your dip inside with a/c so the product temp is cooler than the air. I do this in reverse to spray in cold weather (I put the dip in a warm place or in warm water before spraying). Hopefully this will help!

    Sometimes it's because of how the emblems are designed or fitted and there's not much to do. But that said, when spraying that area, make sure it's hitting directly perpendicular to the panel rather than at an angle. This makes it so the front face of the emblem gets plenty of product for good peeling and the panel gets the right amount as well but the emblem sides get less. This will help it break correctly on the emblem side vs the panel side.

The flexibility with the ms, especially ms3x, is you can do all kinds of cool stuff like boost by gear or rpm.
