Thunderace & cased MicroSquirt running MSExtra 3.0.3u

After another age, a quick nip over to the bike and play with the revised priming pulse, after cranking rpm bin, and a cold start. I first of all deactivated the fuel pump, hooked up the laptop to the MicroSquirt and updated the new TunerStudio settings into the controller aka MicroSquirt. Then I ac...

Re: BMW Airhead "Kompressor" Reborn

What I can say is that for the most part, the work done on the bike could not be comprehended by the average bloke, they just don't gather that sort of modifications, especially the electical aspect and computer work. That's the fundamental difference with MicroSquirt vs other EFI ready made stuff,...

Thunderace engined GTS1000 cased MicroSquirt MSEXtra 3.0.3u

Work commitments are stopping me playing with this at the moment, but I did manage to pick up a rolling chassis and some bodywork for the next Thunderace engined GTS project yesterday. The bike hasn't been started for a week or so, so I switched on the ignition, waited for the fuel pump to kick in a...

Thunderace engined GTS1000 cased MicroSquirt MSEXtra 3.0.3u

Another little session, but this time with the LC-1 hooked up. No real surprises, although after tweaking the kPa bins, I need to tweak the Alpha N side some more. I also need to correct the ini to allow VELive to tweak VETable2. The engine is capable of idling at very low speeds at around 750-850, ...

Thunderace engined GTS1000 cased MicroSquirt MSEXtra 3.0.3u

I managed an early finish today & jury rigged the Innovate LC-1, plus the broken exhaust stud is out. So all it needs is the exhaust welding up some more for the centre stand stop, and I'll be able to calibrate/set up the wideband tuning, so that I can use VE Analyse Live in TunerStudio.

Re: GTS1000 on MicroSquirt running MSExtra

Like I said before, I have to now work on the roll on for the throttle, rescale my MAP bins so that I have more sensitivity above idle, now that the engine is timed to the MicroSquirt. I was getting a problem on warm up, because the rpm is higher and the MAP too, 2200 & 70 kPa rather than 1100 a...

Re: GTS1000 on MicroSquirt running MSExtra

My strategy was to prove the concept of turbo performance, and overal bike behaviour before moving past go, right up to "Park Avenue" so to speak. I would have done the same as you, except it was more cost effective to buy a cheap replacement system off eBay, and then tweak it...like you ...

Thunderace engine, cased MicroSquirt, running MSExtra 3.0.3

Modded the kPa bins, so I have more bias towards the off idle MAP values. The GTS1000 throttle bodies have a "fast" idle wax solenoid that when cold holds the idle arm off the stop, so opening the butterflies/throttle slightly. This together with the increased fuel from cold start, always ...

Thunderace engine, cased MicroSquirt, running MSExtra 3.0.3

I managed to get another Saturday off, and while the missus is way, Mickey Mouse will play. I have tweaked the Cranking pulses, ASE and WUE curves for the semi sequential set up, and after a few missed starts, almost catching I got it. However the bike is idling way too fast, which is over fuelling,...

Re: Thunderace engine in GTS1000 using MicroSquirt running M

Short movie clips/links will be added later. MobileMe is playing up and not uploading my Quicktime movie, they are sub 4 MB, but all was working a week or so ago :? Embedded them here, only short clips, but I know the tune is better with 3.0.3u. http://www.mjscrane.com/EFI/Video/ThunderaceEFI.html
