Ignitech TCIP4, again

[ducatiz]

Hi guys,

I found cape's take on wiring both a TPS and a MAP on the Ignitech module which looks very neat  - would this work for Ducatis as well?  and I believe the MAP must be connected to both intakes..
here is the topic on laverdaforum.com

cheers

Any custom option could work.

However, if you are ok with your Mikuni 38cv carbs, then buy a salvage set of Mikunis from a Yamaha TDM.  They are identical to Monster/SS factory carbs.  Rejet them to your preferences, and plug the TPS right in.

my base advance is set to 6 deg but I have noticed that while connected to the laptop, if I rev the engine the max advance displays 33deg with yellow highlight.. why that? isn't 36deg max advance?

[ducatiz]

There is a lag in advance after around 5000.  If you have advance set at 36 deg from 4000 on, it will show a lag of about .5 to 1 deg every 1000 rpm past 5000 or so.

oh, and don't use 3 ohm Dyna coils. Our kit is only a few $ more and if you have any problems, we send out replacement parts without hesitation. Even if it's your fault if something went wrong. Our 1st run of coils were a bit much, they scaled it down a notch so the v2 models shouldn't EMI the ignitek so badly.

when were the v2 started?  how can i tell them apart?

the early tcip4 had a lag of 1 degree per 1,000rpm over 3,000 rpm, which you could see with a timing light.  the later units i had put a light on seem to not have that delay.  have you seen later ones with a delay izaak?

v2 started shipping in the past few months. They have the logo writing in a grayish silver color and say v2 on them. If you have old ones (have proper black logo on them) and want new ones, let us know and we'll send them to you. If the old ones work, they technically have higher output... but I haven't built a test bench for those yet!! Maybe that's "next"...?

@suzyj: check out my latest creation, you might appreciate it being able to draw an OpAmp circuit and all...


@suzyj and @Speeddog, check out fritzing.org, it really helps with designing simple circuits.

Hi guys and thanks!
it's true that my maximum advance is set to 36 degrees and on idle it shows that correctly but -like you said- on higher rpms it goes down to 33 or 34.
So is it reaching 36deg in the end? I mean, is it just a display problem or it actually won't pass 33deg. Should I leave it to 36deg max advance?

@chris
I haven't got the dynas, still on stock coils.. I've checked yours and as I'm coming to US in August I might order them there.. if not, could you ship them to the UK?

thanks a lot guys!

[brad black]

the timing light will tell you what you have.

No, it is not reaching 36 deg.

You need to change the curve in the TCI to compensate.

[tibrocks]

Thanks. will change the curve then

Seems like possibilities f mapping beyond lobe in new version:

The other two changes I made was to enable the 'spark before lobe' feature I got with the latest firmware update and also re calilibrate the TPS.

We produce new version V88 from 2013 year. New software for this version is here: TCIP4.EXE (version 88).

Nice.  But no usb yet...  :-(
