Parameters->Temp Compensation->Ignition Compensation
Posted: Sun May 31, 2009 2:40 pm
I was wanting some clarification on these tables. The help file goes into detail about the Fuel Compensation on the Temp Compensation tab, but has no information about the Ignition Compensation.
1) does the same high/low load threshold apply for the Ignition Compensation?
In the help file, this is stated for the Fuel Compensation:
"There are two air intake temperature compensation tables; one for low load and idling conditions and another for medium to high load. As a guide the low load table is used below 3500 rpm at light manifold pressure, 2000 rpm at medium manifold pressure and 1000 rpm at high manifold pressure."
All of my knocks are happening in city driving, with IATs going through the roof, and below 3500ish RPM. Hopefully I can use this feature to dial out the knocks I'm getting with my 12.5:1 compression motor.
2) Is there any way to change the temperature index values on the ignition comp. table the way you can in the fuel comp. table? I suppose I'm asking for that feature to be implemented since it does not appear to be possible at this time.
3) Just to verify, since the value in the 2nd row of the ignition compensation table is a "retard" value, I don't need to include a negative sign if I want to remove timing. A negative sign would result in ignition being added. Correct me if I'm wrong on that.
It would be useful if the help file for this tab was updated to have some ignition compensation specific comments.
Thanks in advance.
