FridgeFreezer Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I think Nige is as mystified as we are - he mumbled something about the last suggestion being to triple-check HT lead / coil pack wiring but nothing since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hmmm the plot thickens. He must be off his jaffa cakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Nope .. I am still here lol I had a discussion regarding coil pack wiring, then never heard again So it was either that, or he found something else, must be sorted Hey Ho N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

need4speed Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Heres my theory... After people telling him time and time again to check coil pack wiring, and him saying yes yes ive checked it multiple times, he discovered it WAS wrong all along.. Gentlemen place your bets....

Bowie69 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Well I think that was almost a given..... but I need to hear him say it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMck Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Hi Guys, Sorry there have been no replies. Didnt mean to be rube but i havnt been on here in a while due to work and as such havnt progressed much with the landy either. Megasquirt still isnt running. Got annoyed with that and got round to doing a compression test and 2 cylinders had dramatically lower readings so against everyone saying get it running before stripping, ive started to strip it down. hopfully get it back together in a couple of weeks and then ill no its a problem with my wiring.. you never no i might even stumble accross it when i put it back together..

need4speed Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I gotta be honest with you, being down on compression on 2 cylinders wont stop an RV8 from running. Err have you checked order of ignition leads... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMck Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 yer but was kinda hoping to find something majorly wrong. actually looks in pretty good nick. getting the heads pressure tested and stuff and then put it back together and then hope i discover my mistake with msq as i put it all back together. :s problem is i dont know that the engine actually ran when i got it. ah u live and u learn.

FridgeFreezer Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 If in doubt, leave the settings as it arrived from Nige - almost anything should fire & run from those even if the tune is a bit off. Before Rover V8 maps were around more than one fired & ran on the default Megasquirt map which is for a Chevy V8! Then just work through things methodically starting with the basics & don't skip anything because you think you already checked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRecklessEngineer Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I squirted and EDIS'd a Nissan straight 6 and used the default RV8 map. Tweaked the ReqFuel value for the injector/engine size, but that was it. Fired first time and ran like a sewing machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 And ditto, ran a Lexus V8 off a rover map and was great, aside form the flames from the exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 aside form the flames from the exhaust You say that like it's a bad thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Well I was going to come back and argue it probably wouldn't be good for fuel economy, but then this is a thread for V8s... Was pretty cool though In fact here is the video: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynic-al Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Just a random thought I had the other day, it's not something like the timing correction in the software is set way out is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
