I'm having problems trying to get a Rover KV6 up and running on Emerald M3D. They evidently do a modified version of the ECU to cope with the extra ignition and injector drivers required, and I'd like to compare the paperwork/instructions with someone else who's done it, cos I think there's something wrong with the quoted pinout/wiring.

 

jim galbally had emerald on his 24v saff.

 

ah.. good point

 

Yeah jim had it.

Was "ok" but seemed to be a bit unpredictable when i was mapping on it.

 

did you get involved in wiring it chip?

 

internally there's 3 "VB027" ignition driver devices mounted on the heatsink, and 6 surface mount pcb mounted driver devices (smaller) covered with a heatsink.

3 of these smaller devices are hard-wired to the harness connector (the 6-cyl. mod i presume)

Now it would make logical sense to me that the 3 ignition drivers would drive 3 wasted spark coils (or 3 pairs of single cyl coils in wasted spark pairs in my case) and the 6 smaller drivers do the injectors..

...but this isn't how the instructions tell it...

Instructions say to wire the coils individually to 6 pins - "Ignition drivers 1-6" and the injectors in 3 pairs to "Injector drivers 1-3"
Now this means that 3 coils are driven by the smaller drivers, which I'd be surprised if are rated to do so..

Just seems to me there may be a bit of a muddle in the paperwork??

 

Nope, that was all jims work i believe (hence my concern )

 

anyone else?
Jim???

 

i'm very shore that is a dave walker ecu i know he can mapp them easy

 

The manual hasn't been updated in years, best thing to do is drop dave or karl an e-mail or ring about 9.30 and they should sort it for you pretty quick.

New software is nearly ready too, mind you it's been nearly ready for 3 years

 

use injector drivers 1-3 and ignition drivers 1-3

there are only 4 of each, so you cant go sequential.

i had 2 wiring diagrams from dave, 1 was old and wrong. check 100% with emerald you have the right diagram. the pinout n the manual was spot on, but the drawn diagram was iffy

 

Is this the connection scheme you used Jim?
