    There is absolutely no advantage to using these mods on an auto. Once you get the torque converter on stall and are only just holding it back on breaks, you have loaded the engine pretty well.

    The NLTS does require a clutch switch. As per my original post, this is usually standard in facelift Manual VR-4s.

    I just went to pick a part and picked up a couple of brake switches which look to be exactly the same.

    Hmm, perhaps it was 2000+ or something. Both the Legnums had one (2001,2002)

    They are pretty easy to install. They are the same as the brake switches.

    Yeah I reckon the 7203 ecu cars have it and the 7202's don't.

    So propably the next version is better for autos too once you get the CEL on knock to work. This one's only benefit for autos is the extended ignition and fuel maps

    Sorry everyone, put the wrong scaling (and so the data was wrong also) on the warmup retard maps. Have corrected now.

    You can correct it yourself if you you downloaded 1.01, just check the scaling on the standard ones. My advice would be to change the scaling on one, copy and past from the unchanged one and then change that. Saves any actual effort. lol.

    Hey mate, I thought those scalings might be the culprit, glad I asked about them.... Tested again this morning and it all seemed good when cold now

    But I another couple of questions, my speed output is ridiculously slow to respond so it doesn't release quick enough, currently it's set to 18kph but the speed seems to sit at 14 for a while then jump to 28, I figure I can try it at anything more than 2 to get around it, has anyone else had this issue? With LC set at 3500 and Antilag at 3250, this is what happens
    RPM Speed Timing Knock
    3500 0 -5 0
    3500 2 15 0
    2718 2 12 0
    3187 14 19 0
    3625 14 -5 16
    4187 28 17 16
    Then I backed off but the next data point had no knock and the timing stayed normal

    I assume the anti lag problem above is that the antilag drops out and then comes back through the range before the speed is breached as far as the ecu knows, in which case I can deal with that as long as that is what is happening



    the other thing I wanted to know was what happens on knock events, above the time the antilag comes back in is also when knock occurs but I assume thats coincidence but staying stationary I see that the timing goes from -5 to -9 and it seems to correlate with knock detection?

    To be honest, I haven't done much logging.

    You could drop the switch speed. I put it to 18 to play around and make it easier to test more than anything. Ceddy had it set to 12, try that.

    My understanding is that the retard limit gets set (at present values) to -10 so that in case of knock, the ECU has somewhere to go from the anti-lag retard of -5

    The values I have as defaults are by no means well tested, they just made it easier for me to test.

    So in essence, you should try playing around and seeing what gives the best results.
