so your now saying that with the boxex you built to get the rpm signal from the coils you can also run spark control?

moving timing around sounds dangerous unless you only do it in response to knock. Skiping spark events (as gurov is showing) allows for real traction control. Gurov wants to get it to the point that you can floor the gas at the line, dump the clutch, and only worry about shifting. (ie, 2 stage w/ real shift assist/3rd rev limiter) and full traction control allowing you to put as much power to the ground as possible.

The only thing I wonder about this method is that it would be trying to see if you slip based on RPM raising faster than a threshold value. We can tune the threshold, so it should be possible to tune it to your horsepower level, but the closer you get to the line, the more regular the adjustment would have to be.

I hope this works out... 1st gear sucks and this could make boosted 2.2s 60's a thing of the past.

well, the thing about moving timing events around is that the megasquirt recognizes the timing event a trigger to its own timing mechanism, so it actually takes rpm and rise/fall into account. so theoretically this COULD be knock control solution as well, but i have my doubts about stock dwell/timing signal being long enough to be moved around like that, since i'm simply relaying the stock signal to the ignition coils via two transistors, both switched by MS's timing control.

i'm going out to the garage right now for a first test.
