Sequential timing

Post by Leijon cmc 855 »

Hi!
I had a look at the FAQ sheet again and I saw that MS doesnt have sequential timing. Its either all (8 injectors in my case) injectors, left bank or right bank.

I got a bit confused. Its a bit hard to explain my "confuseness", but doesnt that create a problem. Do the other 3 cylinders get any fuel at all? does the fuel lay on top of the valve waiting for it to open and then "pour" into the chamber???
Or does everything go so quickly that it doesnt really matter??

Could someone shed som light on this??

Thank you

Oh! if I bought an MS system today, (with out sequential timing) could I uppgrade it later on, to the one that has??

That sums it up quite well. It is easy to get confused due to the marketing hype of commerical systems.

The future sequential / individual trim product (The router board) is in early design stages so it is not possible to say what can or cannot be upgraded to it. It is certainly conceived as a second box add on unit designed to retrofit to existing Megasquirt installs.

Presently everyone is using, enjoying and succeeding with the batch fire system.
