megasquirt pops and bangs

[OleVix]

Those of you who have MS, whats the best way to get pops and bangs?


And not those of you who´s got Multiple Sclerosis, you lot can shut it!

I ´d just like to have it similar to the way it was on the lucas system, I dont want ridiculous pops everywhere, just like it was

I find minus 5 ignition works well.

I'll try that. On another note, dont you get alot of shunting on cruise with all that advance? This map isnt for the SC is it? whats up with the advance on boost...? And what about 6-10 idle advance? Is it for smoothness?

And guys! Post your ign tables! Do state what engine you have and if its FI

Get hold of Shaun at MS2Tuning:

The man's a bloody genius.

Shaun installed mine, and about two maybe three years ago did a remap for me, damn thing pops bangs farts rumbles burbles growls, bangs thunderously like a bomb going off changing from second to third at 6k rpm (that momentary lift off) and screams like a banshee between 4 and 6k rpm with WOT

I suspect part of the reason it's constantly popping off is because I have a lot of cam overlap, and maybe a bit of overfuelling going on....

Whatever the reason I bloody love it and I'd be gutted if I lost all that luverly mechanical music.. with a bit of practise I could probably play a tune with it

I remember being told quite some time ago that a bit of trailing throttle quite often results in pops and bangs

Edited to add I see Alun already mentioned adding a bit of throttle above....

Another edit - sorry Ole just seen your request (I really should read a thread properly before posting), lost all the MS stuff (and everything else) off my laptop when it crashed a while back... I actually have two hard drives that I back up onto and duplicate stuff on but for some reason I didn't back up anything from the MS folders...

Engine though is a naturally aspirated V8D 5litre lump with lots of added goodies including a bespoke (Rob Robertson) cam shaft....

Photo opportunity too good to miss

That is indeed very nice Chilli!

Ive long had contact with Shaun, he helped me get the car running after the build. But his pops and bangs magic hasnt worked, thats why I asked for tips Guess I'll have to try some more. They turbo might be dampening the pops some... do get a big BANG here and there... fun

No pops 'n bangs here, but the occasional flames out back so I'm told coming off boost
