Yeah you'll have to ask him about how to set it all up considering I can't even run this ROM

Andy

Your pretty generous! I cant beleive the work you put in for others... Very very kind, I hope you can one day get this to work on your car too! Someone needs to pay this man he is doi serious work!

Andy has a secret that will make alot of people want this rom

Dont tease!

it has to do with GPN mode switching On top of it you'll get an ignition map change to compliment GPN mode

Interesting can't wait to hear some more , it just gets better and better!

yea and then i wasted most of my sunday trying to understand f*** iscv - what a joke lol

Haha! My test mule needs to try it out before I give it out. I'd rather just one car blow up than all of them Just kidding!

It looks like you'll be able to enable Group-N mode(which includes ALS/LC) via the flash block. This switch worked the best because it also allows 2 timing maps to be run. So one map could be setup for daily driving(Base Timing A), and the other for Group-N mode(Base Timing B). One could run a switch to their dashboard to switch between the two modes then. Of course, Jared will need to test the functionality, and the ability to switch on the fly before I release anything, but it looks like it should work just fine.

He's also testing something else tomorrow, hopefully! We are 99% sure that there is a table to adjust the dwell time for the coil packs, which is actually incredibly important even for those of you that don't understand it or know how to tune it. This ROM has the same settings as the 04+ WRX, which has the grey coil packs. The '02/'03 ROMs have the same table but the values are almost half of the '04+ in some places. These, of course, have the black coil packs. Running too much dwell will burn out a coil pack pretty quickly, so hopefully he can get it tested soon. Or if anyone else has a "Jerod, chime in here with the name of the scope" scope, and would be willing to test it if he can't, let me know!

Andy

Very nice. Cant wait until the 04-05 rom is figured out. I would love to be able to switch over to speed density and smoothen everything out.

Yes yes yes!!! This is so full of WIN ... I was going to mention dwell times but figured there is no way... Wow Andy you are the man!

Haha I found dwell time table ( as an unknown to ignition) andy went through the logic and more or less confirmed it - haha I'm just the one that finds random s*** and gets confused so I throw it at andy (andy=smart and jerod=dumb but good test mule)

To those that don't know what dwell is- it is the given time for the ecu to allow the coil packs to "charge" between ignition events with a maximum of 16ms of dwell. Its based on battery voltage and rpms - the higher the voltage the ledd time to complete a charge the higher the rpm the less time available to charge between ignition events.
This can and will destroy coil packs if used improperly.
As well as the fact that a coil will only charge to a certain point.stock settings +/- .5 or so ms would be the most I would want ti play with them on grey packs and I would highly recommend that black packs use near stock 02/03 dwell times to further their life as the gpn rom looks like it will eat them alive in a hurry.

-jerod

Haha thanks but Jerod found it all, just needed some help working through it. All the 16bit ROMs I have looked at have this. If it's confirmed I'll release it for all of them.

Andy

Actually I'm having a tough time getting ahold of an o-scope - if anyone wants to help and has access to an o scope test dwell time of the coils. Just let us know what rom you are running - and current rpm and battery voltage during the test - within .5 or so volts and 100 or so rpms.

Results should be in ms.

Nice work that's huge guys!!! I swear my e85 setup like the group n dwell times more than stock , like mentioned above my coil packs are Screaming bloody murder lol...

So Jerod what kind of switch are we gonna use to enable/disable the flashblock? I already have both my fuelpumps wired to a switch so I may just throw one next to That...Lol sorry I am just pumped with the new found features ...
