changing knock map changes ign retard tp & rpm cold timing

"Cold timing subtract for Z32 only so removed from HCR32/BNR32"

I have the Table

"RPM Cold Timing Subtract"

Using latest version and rom pack

See attached pic

Are you suggesting to adjust the warm up timing temp so it is ignoring all warmup settings, if so i'd prefer to find the issue rather than hide it by changing the temps.
The values in the tables available to me look ok stock but the response from the vehicle is not the same a stock code which suggests there's a map affecting this thats currently unavailable through the address file I'm using.

I got issues with the laptop but will do a log ASAP

[nanook]

These are the only cold timing adjustments available i can see

[nanook]

Matt, and anyone else for that matter

Can you open a rom for hcr32

open the RPM cold timing subtract window

Change your knock fuel map drasticly for demonstration purposes

Now move the RPM cold timing subtract window so it updates, do the values in this change for you depending on the knock map? cause they do for me.

Any changes to the RPM cold timing subtract are directly screwing with the knock map still, i thought this issue was finally resolved or is it just happening to me?

1) Why are these linked for me they should not be affecting each other should they?

2) I am finding a huge amount of timing being pulled when engine is cold as shown in the above pic "log done before screwed up cold timing table due to knock map" the amount of timing being pulled does not seem to relate to this table at all as its on 0 in table when it pulls alot of timing.
Is there another table that i cannot access that is affecting this

Can you clear/fix this up Matt?

[Matt]

RPM Cold timing - that table has been removed for next release

its a Z32 table in the base address file which is overlapped by the knock timing table for the R32 vehicle.

So what happens with an overlapped table is you modify the parameters in one and it affects the other. In the meantime dont use that table (or remove the entry from the base file)

I've been going through doing a clean up of these for the map highlighting changes and identifying issues like these

Ok thanks Matt

It looks like the timing while warmup timing period is active is as per the stock warmup timing table for HCR32 which is around 7-8deg so if in increase the values in this area the car drives better while in warmup mode
So is it just because the cars modified that the stock value of 8 deg is to low i don't really understand why this should make it so bad i mean it hardly moves.

[Matt]

not sure why it would be that low when warming up since I would expect 15 deg BTDC should still be used. It would bog down a bit at 8 deg BTDC

[nanook]

the warmup timing table as shown above shows around 8deg

this table is same the stock rom if not let me know cause thats what I thought

anyway if it says 8deg in this table does that not mean that inside the warmup timing active period it will run this value?

this is what it appears to do exactly the timing as listed in this table

and yes it bogs down to nothing really stuffed.

My car has the exact same issue, Very very sluggish during warm up nearly un-drivable at times

[raddy]

for me this problem looks same like ca18det warmup timing tables, which contains similar very low timing. this table is (at ca18det) really used during warmup, based at conditional tables and there I found a reason of problems at ca18det case.
To get out of retarded timing during warmup you can: set timing at warmup timing table to reasonable values or change conditional tables (if avialable). Reason why it make problems with ca18det is that one of conditional table refer to max. TP value after which is warmuptiming table not used anymore. If you resize injectors, TP scale is resized also and max. TP for warmuptiming is now somewhere at the middle of the TP scale, e.g. at higher load, while in standard it will leave warmuptiming table at low loads, just after idle load, thats reason why you didnt notice it with standard ECU...

I am using stock injectors and stock afm nothing has been scaled

Thanks very interesting "raddy" Thank you

on my stock map its set at max tp 56 which on the stock scales is past the half way point on the map

I'll adjust the max tp for that then as that area in my map is around 36

[nanook]

Hmmm why have you got this issue then if your scales are stock

maybe this isn't the cause

[raddy]

so try to adjust warmup timing table to higher timing, if that cure your problem, I would dont care about real reason

Hum, old post but additional info is always good.

On Z32, there's a routine that creates an area where the regular timing maps are not used, but WARMUP_TIMING is used instead.
I don't understand the rationale of NISSAN behind that, because this table is (also) used when you are not in idle (I mean in gear and throttle exercised) and made my car particularly sluggish when migrating to ethanol fuel (even after correction of TP-related values, new injector size bla bla bla). Ethanol needs ton of timing advance when warming up, so I put WARMUP_TIMING_TEMP_MAX=0 to bypass the routine and use the regular timing maps immediatly:

In the case of Z32, in sequence the ECU checks the following to select the timing map to use:
if Temp>55°C ==> regular timing map
if TempInitial<15°C ==> regular timing map
if TempInitial>35°C ==> regular timing map
else if Temp<30°C ==> regular timing map
so if TempInitial>15°C and TempInitial<35°C and Temp>30°C and Temp<55°C and TP<44 and rpm<2600 ==> WARMUP_TIMING table is used !!!!

Note: when you start up the engine, the knock maps are used for a while and if conditions are met, you switch to the regular map (typically when you blip the throttle for the first time).

Interesting. With the initial warmup temp that looks similar to how the Z31/R31 used the cold/warm enrichment tables. Temperature recorded on crank

So many extra conditionals
