Tang- I can help with some if this just by sending you a map... or are you applying the info to another stand alone?

In any case, I don't recall the dwell off the top of my head. The freq for the VVT solenoid works well at 120...

Hope that helps,

Phil

Whoever thought working on a Lotus is hard, clearly hasn't tried it. Pick up a wrench and get some grease under your nails

thanks Phil .. the Freq helps ...

its going into a completely different standalone ... i'm using a Vi-Pec v88 ... the 'new' version of a link g4 extreme ... its a very capable ecu ... and cheap as chips ! well, then you compare it to other ecu's with the same spec ...

i'm running everything off it now, including drive by wire throttle !

but i've having a slight issue at what feels like soft rev limit at 6000 rpm ... i've just ordered new coils tho ... want to make sure my dwell settings are right ...

Cheers
