    Two sessions of Tuner Pro is possible, but not connected to two separate devices from each session. Only one session at a time can be connected to external hardware. This can be a bit annoying when you are trying to connect with a second session and forget that the first session is still "connected" (hardware not released) when trying to quickly switch back and forth. This goes for both emulation and datalogging. Got caught on that one a few times. :/

    There is dual emulator support for in TunerPro RT used with Nissans that use split VE tables, but not sure if that is locked to Nissan applications or not. Whole tables should be uploaded to both Ostrichs, but Mark (that writes TunerPro) would know better how it's configured. But by the time you buy two Ostrich 2.0s and get everything set up, a Megasquirt 2 that will natively run an odd fire engine would be more cost effective and work better in the end. *shrug* '7747s are not known for high speed calculations, so staying in sync between a pair of them I still believe is going to be an issue when the engine gets some load on it.

    Agreed. Getting it to run is a good plateau to rest on. Fuel pressure at 12-13 psi is good. I'd aim for as much common ground between the two systems as possible. Do you have the info to change the number of cylinders to three? I can dig that up...

    When I change the cylinder select value, Hex address 0016 changes. I think changing the Hex value to 03 would be the correct value?

    See attached screen shot for an example of a 3 cylinder BPW (1.9 liters is half of a 3.8 liter V6 / figuring two 45 lb TBI injectors).

    knumcyl is a divisor and lower number of cylinders results in a higher value. Three cylinder is 96d or 60h.

    Well gents I have never been able to stabilize the secondary computor. I finally abandoned the spark control and put an HEI dist with mechanically advanced spark. Starts and runs, first time every time.

    Interesting to note. Are you talking about the AFR? Or the spark timing?

    It's been a while since I read about the physical connections in this thread, but IIRC he was using one ECM for both spark and fuel and the second ECM for spark only. I can see how keeping the second ECM in sync would be an issue, especially where spark timing is so critical. fuel could literally be dumped in at pretty much any time, especially when it comes to TBI fueling and still run without a noticeable issue... *shrug*

    Have you tried swapping ECMs from "main" to "secondary" and visa-versa to see if it's an ECM issue?

    There secondary computor didnt have the ability to advance the spark 90 degrees even though the software would let you change the field to 89.65 degrees. The original schematic was incorrect. Only 1 ignition control module can be used. I could get 1 or 2 sparks out of the second computor then nothing. Changing cyl count to 3, and reducing fuel bpw to 137 resultd in 50% of required fuel. Using cyl count of 6 th fuel pulse of once per rev reduced fuel pulse to every other rev- 50% short. Fuel was still immaterial since I only had sprk on 1,3,5. Excellant excercise, project wasn t completed the way iI had hoped, but I have learned enough that I will never have a problem diagnosing Efi systems. Willys is running very well with 4.3 bin with bpw reduced to 137, havn t even logged it yet. That will come in time. Thanks for ll your help!

    I thought you were using dual triggers and dual ICMs? That would mean that you wouldn't need to change the trigger angle, because the ECM wouldn't know about the other ECM controlling the other 3 cylinders.

    If you were trying to trigger two ICMs off a single trigger, yeah that wouldn't work, because of a lack of isolation between the inputs causing them to interfere with each other.

    I was using single trigger and dual ICM. The reason twoICM wouldn't work is becuse the ICM provides a continuos path to ground except when it breaks that ground to cause the coil to fire. Two ICMs, each breaking the ground path to fire the coil at 90 spread = a continuos ground path and no break in the ground. When I removed one ICM I had fire at 1,3,5 and a couple 2,4,6, then nothing at 2,4,6. Two triggers set at 90* might work for the spark, then the fueling is still gonna be goofier than I wanted to bite into.

    old thread I know, but its the closest I could find to a potential project I want to pursue. Hopefully some of you guys are still around!

    I am looking to do an EFI conversion to a Delorean. Odd-fire 90deg V6, with mechanical fuel injection.
    I am very experienced with LS swaps, especially the 0411 ecu.
    I intially wanted to run spark and fuel, but it seems obvious to me that spark is not going to work. I am fairly confident I can just leave the stock distributor, coil, and ignition module in place and ignition will be sorted. Works for the carb conversion guys.
    So with regards to the fuelling. Run a 2001 or 2002 s10 or similar 4.3 calibration on a 0411. I would retrofit a crank position sensor (3 tooth), as well as all the other sensors (MAP, MAF, CTS, IAT, IAC, TPS, O2s) and plumb in injectors in place of the old mechanical ones. i would omit the cam position sensor as I understand this is solely for use with the ignition side of things.

    From here, I have a few concerns.
    -How well will the ecu work without any ignition being involved? Will it be ok with omiting this after i clear all the codes?
    -Will the ECU fire sequentially or in batch? It needs to fire batch as I understand or anything past the first two cylinders in the firing order will not get fuel when they need. i could perhaps only wire up injectors to the first two outputs, but I think it would be asking too much of the drivers.
    -Finally, a much smaller concern, do the 4.3 calibrations have e-fan control.

    I know I could easily use a MS2, but the idea of having a MAF based, fuel trim enabled setup with OBD2 support is all too enticing to me.
