| Wow, been a while since I've posted here...
Julian and I are about to take down the Corolla for the final "build."
That means we'll be pulling the engine, and replacing the coolant line system, and going over all the external seals (rear main, front main, etc..) and checking to make sure the work we did before installing the engine the last time is still good. We'll also be replacing the flywheel and pressure plate bolts.
While the engine is out, we're going to tear out a lot of the interior, and pull out as much of the wiring as we can, then take the shell to a body shop, where hopefully they'll be able to fix it all up like new, and weld in a rollcage.
Once we get the shell back, we'll redo all the wiring (I'm going to set it up so I can easily switch between ms2 running ms2/extra, and ms3, as we'll be developing that soon hopefully).
Then finally we'll be able to race that car!
My RX7 is going to get some fixes soon too. I need to figure out where its oil leak is coming from, and fix a couple vacuum leaks, but other than that it starts up and runs alright.

| I added the load code from my last post, but have not tested yet... I'll probably do that tomorrow... Then I'll do the filtering code, and clean up a lot of the messes that are still in the code.
James and I spent the last month mainly doing bug fixes.
I also branched the code so that I could work on making a stable version to turn into MS2/extra v1.0, while James continues ripping apart code and rewriting it for v2.0.
I had my first tester other than myself try out my EAE code, and he said he got it working in a few minutes as well as his previous MAPdot accel setup that took him weeks to get to a usable state. In other words, I think we might finally have an Accel Enrichment algorithm that "just works."
I'll be testing the new load code in the ae86 as soon as I get it bench-tested, I'm thinking that once I get it working well, it'll make the ITB setup a lot more tunable... meaning I think I'll be able to get the benefits of Speed Density (good fuel economy, good low-load behavior) and Alpha-N (good throttle response, better tunability above 20% throttle position) at the same time.
That should be good for people with turbos AND really lumpy cams... they'll be able to run alpha-n but use the secondary table to cover conditions under boost..
similarly, I could run alpha-n as my primary load on the ITBs, but have a second that modifies the first depending on vacuum, OR run Speed Density as my primary, and then when that maxes out around 20% throttle, or around 90kPa, just have the secondary table more or less take over. I'm going to try both and see which one works the best.
I should probably make the EAE load point changeable too... right now it's tied to the primary fuel point... which might not be desirable.
Anyway, enough babbling...

| Finished up the first cut at rotary trailing ignition code for ms2/extra on Sunday.
Next are helping James with distributor mode, new load calculation and representation in the tuning software, along with the addition of modifier tables (one table modifies another based on a second load calculation which is different from the first), and adding noise filtering code to the Input Capture ISR.
Should make ms2/extra a lot better!

Pretty cool huh?
