2jzGTE 12 tooth crank + 1 cam wheel decoder setup
So a buddy of mine is building a car for the 24 hours of Lemons race next week and we are using a MK3 Supra Shell with a 2jzgte engine laying around in the shop.
The MS is actually a spectre unit, but it does have dual VR decoding circuits on board as well as some later varient of MS1Extra. My question is in regards to the wheel decoder setup for Generic wheel.
The crank has a 12 tooth evenly spaced wheel and there are two separate (G1 and G2) cam signals triggered off a notch in the cam (none of which are adjustable). G1 triggers when piston 6 is at TDC and G2 triggers when piston 1 is at TDC. On MS2 extra I run off NE and G2 with the tooth offset angle set at 0 and the car runs great.
I have no idea what to set the Trigger A, B C and their returns to for this though...same with the trigger angle. Any advice?

I haven't found too much in the 7m threads either yet....
I was figuring for MS1, that this would have to be set as a 24 tooth wheel since it is spinning at crank speed + 1 cam.

Six cylinder ? Wasted spark ?
If yes, then you need to combine the two G sensors and specify 12 teeth. I don't know on the triggers except they will be 4 teeth apart.

Correct, it is an inline 6 in wasted spark. Why couldn't I set it as 24 teeth and just use the single G2 signal?jsmcortina wrote:Six cylinder ? Wasted spark ?

Because it won't work?
MS1 is too "dumb" to support that configuration.

Re: 2jzGTE 12 tooth crank + 1 cam wheel decoder setup
wait...something must be getting lost in translation here. I know MS1 can do this, I've run 6+1 on my Mazda KL setups for years now. On the v6 with firing order 1,2,3,4,5,6 I was able to set it as follows:jsmcortina wrote:Because it won't work?

Trigger angle = 60
Trig a = 1
trig return a = 2
trig b = 3, etc etc
Kinda like how this shows in the manual: http://msextra.com/doc/ms1extra/MS_Extr ... 2nd_VR.GIF
I'm not running COP, just 3 spark outputs.
The problem i'm wondering about is either the G1 or G2 in regards to the trigger angle?

Re: 2jzGTE 12 tooth crank + 1 cam wheel decoder setup
That's because a KL can use "rising and falling" mode and trigger on both ends of the cam sensor. The equivalent here is tying both G sensors together.shaodome wrote:wait...something must be getting lost in translation here.

I'm also trying to set up a toyota 24+1 distributor with MS1Extra, i need to know where to send the 2nd trigger input?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: 2jzGTE 12 tooth crank + 1 cam wheel decoder setup
Did you read the MS1/Extra manual for second trigger ?
