Ignition Table

Ignition Tables

Ignition tables contain the base ignition timing for low and high speed cams. Note that additional compensations are applied to the base ignition timing and the final ignition timing may be different from the base table values.

The ignition temperatures for 8.5 and 3.5-mm cubes and 0.25-mm foils are compared in table 2. The effect of the additives appears to be minimized for the smaller specimens. It was impossible to roll the alloys to thinner foils and therefore a greater extension of the specific area effect could not be studied. Power Table: The power table is a much more customizable version of the table component, and has many more features. The power table contains advanced features for displaying your tabular data, such as drag-and-drop rows, multi-column sorting, column filtering, and cell-spanning. Much of the customization comes through extension functions which are available to configure how each cell of.

EGR Ignition Tables

The indices are RPM and EGR(%). This table affects partial throttle ignition timing when EGR is between 12 and 25 percent. At full throttle, when EGR is between 0 and 3 percent, changes made in the first two columns have little effect. For full throttle ignition changes alter the Knock Ignition Limit tables.

Individual cylinder ignition trim

Individual cylinder ignition trim adjusts the ignition timing for each cylinder. This table should only be adjusted if an exhaust gas temperature gauge is used to determine the correct ignition timing for each cylinder.

Air temperature compensation

This compensates the ignition timing by air temperature. Two tables are used - for low and medium to high load. The cross-over point between the tables is approximately 40 kPa manifold pressure. Positive values in the tables retard ignition; negative values advance ignition.

The ECU normally applies any IAT based ignition retard to the knock ignition limit tables. This means that any IAT ignition retard only reduces ignition timing when the knock ignition limit is close to the MBT ignition timing. If you want to apply the IAT retard to ignition advance regardless of the knock ignition limit, then uncheck the 'Ignition IAT retard applied to ignition knock limit' option and check the 'Ignition IAT retard applied to ignition advance' option. Note that only one of these options should be checked a time.

Coolant temperature compensation

This table retards the ignition when the coolant temperature is below normal operating temperatures. Two tables are used - one for low load (below approx 40 kPa manifold pressure), and one for high load. Positive values in the tables retard ignition; negative values advance ignition.

Ignition Table Generator

This table retards the ignition when the coolant temperature is higher than normal (overheating). Two tables are used - one for low load (below approx 40 kPa manifold pressure), and one for high load. Positive values in the tables retard ignition; negative values advance ignition.

Ignition parameters

When cold the ECU retards the ignition to increase the catalytic converter temperature. For race vehicles without a catalytic converter this may be disabled.

Throttle tip in retard

These tables determines the amount of ignition retard upon throttle tip in.

Ignition retard rpm compensation

Sets the amount of ignition retard by engine speed. A higher value is more ignition retard.

Ignition retard throttle compensation

Sets the amount of ignition retard by throttle position. A higher value is more ignition retard.

Ignition retard gear compensation

Sets the amount of ignition retard by gear. A lower value is less retard, a higher value is more ignition retard.

Gear compensation

Porsche 3.2 Ignition Table

This table allows the ignition timing to be altered by gear. Positive values will advance, negative values will retard. Note that the ignition timing is change for all load and rpm values in each gear.

For gear compensation to be applied, if available, select 'Ignition IAT retard applied to ignition advance' from the 'Ignition' -> 'Air temperature compensation' section.

Cranking ignition

This table sets the base ignition when cranking the engine by coolant temperature.
