===== Why Adjust The Spark Timing? =====

Quoting XLForum member, **RacerWill**:((http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1422868 Post#15))\\
| One of the things that makes understanding timing difficult is that we're talking about 2 different time frames - crankshaft degrees for spark and real time combustion. We light the fire based on crankshaft degrees and engine load but actual burn time is in real time. To get optimal performance we need to light the fire early enough so it has just the right amount of real time to reach max cylinder pressure just after TDC - so it can expand and smoothly push the piston down, this is called MEP or Mean Effective Pressure.\\ \\ Typically, you want max pressure to occur about 7 degrees after TDC. Running too much advance starts the burn too early and max pressure happens at or before TDC, causing "ping" (actually knock). Conversely, not enough advance to the spark causes max pressure to happen too late, producing less power and laboring the engine, making it run hot.\\ \\ The programmable advance maps on the TC88A, and other modern ignition systems, allows timing curves to be altered at any RPM and any load. By trial and error the best map can be found. I didn't know about having all advance in at 3200rpm but that makes sense to me. I run about 32 deg advance but my compression is a little higher than most and compression slows burn time. |

===== Too Much Advance Timing? =====

Quoting XLForum member, **ASWRacing**:((http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1650461 Post#12))\\
**A Perspective by Aaron Wilson of Hammer Performance. (June 2013)**\\
| I've dyno'ed thousands of bikes over a long period of time, and on many many of them I've dialed in the timing during the process. Advanced it until the power dropped off, retarded it until the power dropped off, and then centered it in between those two locations. I've also played with curves a lot.\\ \\ **I'm here to tell you that too much timing most definitely costs power, and on the vast majority of bikes, the optimum timing is well below the threshold of ping. Running more timing than optimum makes your motor run hotter and puts the pistons at risk and the threshold of ping is a terrible place to put the timing on most bikes!**\\ \\ Most of these bikes, when they have reasonable compression and chamber turbulence (i.e. a squish band), will want their ignition timing set for about 28-30 degrees max advance at WOT. Going past that starts hurting power and making the motors run hot.\\ \\ When you do a performance build, you really should get an aftermarket ignition, because not only can you turn down the timing, you can bring the timing in more slowly. You almost always find power when you do that on a higher compression build! Most of the motors like it so slow that it's not all-in until 4500-5000rpm. On many ignitions, I've found the best power on the softest curve available. For example, the Dyna 2000 curve 4 almost always works the best if the bike under test has 10:1 compression or more. On a Twin Tec TC88A I literally found the best power on my 04 883/1250 on initial 2 / slope 0. That's the softest curve and almost the least amount of timing the module can give.\\ \\ Getting this notion out of people's heads that more timing = more power has always been a huge challenge in this business. When you're talking about a performance build, the exact opposite is almost always true. We have a vested interest in seeing our customers get this right, because we don't want complaints of scuffed or broken pistons, and that's exactly what will happen if you run the timing too high, sooner or later. |

===== Manifold Absolute Pressure -vs- Vacuum Reading =====

Quoting XLForum member, **RacerWill**:((http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1422868 Post#27))\\
| Just a quick note on MAP(Manifold Absolute Pressure). First, the word "absolute" refers to where zero is placed on the scale. In PSI Absolute, 0 psi is a perfect vacuum and atmospheric pressure is 14.696 psi approx. In PSIg (gauge) atmospheric pressure is zero and a perfect vacuum is -14.696PSIg (equal to 30 inches of mercury, InHg). Kilopascals is the metric version of the absolute measure where a perfect vacuum is zero and atmospheric pressure is 101.325 kPa.\\ \\ The MAP value represents engine load - a higher number represents higher load (more open throttle compared to RPM).\\ \\ For example:\\ Cruising along at 3000rpm on a slight down grade has very low engine load and a lower MAP (kPa) number. If that slight downgrade turns into a steep uphill, you open the throttle to maintain 3000 rpm and the same speed. The MAP (kPa) number starts to climb towards atmospheric pressure 30 InHg (101.3 kPa).|

{{:techtalk:evo:engctl:vacuumreadings-map-vs-gauge.jpg?400|}}

The point is, MAP readings are the direct air pressure readings and the vacuum gauge reading is the inverse, being the vacuum level reading. In MAP values, the standard atmospheric level is 30, while for the vacuum gauge, 0 is the same level. So a MAP value of 20 (out of 30) is the equivalent of a vacuum value of 10, because vacuum is reading from 30 to 0. A Low MAP value indicates high vacuum and a High Map value indicates low vacuum - The exact same condition is referenced with inverse scales.

Here's another good reference to understand that the vacuum gauge value and the Manifold Absolute Pressure value are readings taken from opposite ends of the atmospheric pressure range:\\

===== Typical options for Sportster Ignition Configurations (up to 2003) =====

**1) Stock Older Ironhead Models - OEM**\\
- Points to create spark\\
- Mechanical Advance to create an advance curve\\
- Coil is 5.0 ohms to match use with points\\

**2) Stock EVO Configuration (Later model Ironheads & EVO up to 2003)**\\
- Cam Sensor Plate (electronic trigger) - in place of points\\
- Ignition Control Module - rearward from battery (or other places)\\
- ICM has electronic curves for advance\\
- This module uses a VOES to switch between 2 curves - Vacuum Switch\\
- Coil should be 3.0 ohms\\

**3) Some Only Upgrade By Eliminating Points (older Ironheads)**\\
- Electronic Trigger - Dyna S - DS6-1 model\\
- Mechanical Advance is still used for advance curve\\
- Coil can be OEM 5.0 ohm\\

**4) Most Eliminate Points & Mech Advance (and/or stock external ICM)**\\
- Electronic Ignition Module - Ultima 53-644 - In nosecone\\
- This module includes electronic curves for spark advance\\
- This module uses a VOES to switch curves - Vacuum Switch monitors manifold vacuum\\
- Coil is 3.0 ohms\\

The stock ignition modules for 1998-2003 1200-S models were abandoned by HD soon after 2003. See the Sub-Document link above regarding an alternative ignition setup.

The 2004-later models all implemented the Crank Position Sensor which eliminated the Cam Sensor Plate.\\
- 2004-2006 models, which are all carburetored, can upgrade to Daytona Twin Tec TC88A Electronic Control Module\\

The 2007-later models use Electronic Fuel Injection with a more complex ignition system.
- These EFI systems can use an add-on programmable controller or complete upgraded Electronic Control Module\\

The 2017-later models use a CANbus communication system between the Electronic Control Module & the Body Control Module for more control.

\\

===== Dyna S - Electronic Points =====

The Dyna S Ignition is essentially an electronic version of the breaker points. It senses a magnet (on the rotating shaft) passing by its sensor & triggers the ignition coil.

The Dyna S Ignition relies on an external, mechanical advance for altering the timing in relation to engine RPM.

Dyna-S DS6-1 - Dual Fire Ignition - Has one coil trigger wire (Blue). It fires a dual-coil to produce two sparks at the same time. Therefore, it fires twice in each complete 4-cycle operation - once for the front cylinder (wasted spark to rear cylinder) and once for the rear cylinder (wasted spark to the front cylinder). Remember, it fires twice in each 4-cycle operation and it fires both spark plugs at the same time.

Dyna-S DS6-2 - Single Fire Ignition - Has two control wires (Black (F) & White (R)). It fires two independent coils to produce separate sparks at separate times (even when you use a combination coil with two built-in independent coils). It fires only once on each wire for each complete 4-cycle operation - once for the front cylinder on the compression stroke and then, using the other control wire, it fires the 2nd coil for the rear cylinder when it is in it's compression stroke.

Each type of Dyna-S Ignition uses a different rotor to be compatible with the control pickup plate (single-fire ROTOR is #32-9300 and dual-fire ROTOR is 32-9301). These parts cannot be mixed between the two types.

And, you can't mix a single-fire control with a dual-fire coil nor the other way. That's why they make two types of control modules and several types of coils.

You can set the Static Timing using a multimeter (or test light) connected between ground & the trigger point on the coil for the front cylinder. Rotate the engine until you are on the compression stroke for the front cylinder. Then open the timing hole and look for the FULL ADVANCE mark on the flywheel, placing it in the center of the timing hole. Turn on the ignition. Hold the center rotor in the FULL ADVANCE position, fully counter-clockwise so the weights are at their stops. Now loosen the mounting screws and rotate the Dyna-S timing plate clockwise & counter-clockwise to find the exact point where the meter shows full voltage (or the light is lit brightest). Lock down the mounting screws. The timing should be set very close to correct. (Using a timing light for Dynamic Timing at 2000 RPMs is more accurate.)

===== S&S HI-4N Ignition Module =====

The S&S HI-4N is a nosecone ignition module.

[[https://www.sscycle.com/docs/default-source/instruction-sheets/510-0277-hi-4n-ignition.pdf|Install Instructions 510-0277 (12-15-14) PDF]]

| The MODE SWITCH will select the following configurations:\\ \\ Single-Fire for electric start models:\\ 0 Single Spark, Race Curve\\ 1 Single Spark, OE Curve\\ 2 Multi Spark, Race Curve\\ 3 Multi Spark, OE Curve\\ \\ Dual-Fire for electric start models:\\ 4 Single Spark, Race Curve\\ 5 Single Spark, OE Curve\\ 6 Multi Spark, Race Curve\\ 7 Multi Spark, OE Curve\\ \\ For Kick Start Bikes (uses OEM curve with Single Spark):\\ 8 Single Fire\\ 9 Dual Fire\\ | {{:techtalk:ref:engctl:sns-crane-hi-4n-ignitionmodule.jpg?400|}}((Pic from Doug Funny - http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1751610)) |

The ADVANCE RATE Switch provides selectable curves from 0 to 9, with 0 being the least aggressive ignition timing curve and 9 being the most aggressive. Setting 4 or 5 is thus a mid-point selection.

The RPM LIMIT Switches will select a maximum rev limit. Using the two switches, it can select a limit at 1500rpms upto 7500rpms. It is recommended to not set the limit below 1500rpms or above 7500rpms.

Note: S&S bought the Crane Cams company in April of 2009((https://www.aftermarketnews.com/crane-cams-back-in-business-under-new-ownership)) and began relabelling the previous Crane HI-4N. Shown above is the Crane version (identified as 8-6100) installed in a '73 Ironhead Sportster.

===== Ultima - Nosecone Ignition =====

The Ultima Ignition Unit (53-644) is very similar to the Dynatek 2000i product (although the programmed curves appear to be different). It is a self-contained ignition module meaning the timing sensors are built onto the same timing plate, located in the 'nosecone'. The timing rotor cup passes thru the sensors on the back of the timing plate to trigger the ignition module.

These nosecone units can be installed in pre-2004 model Sportsters, including those which originally had mechanical points, external ECMs with a Cam Sensor Plate and those models (1998-2003) which had an OEM nosecone ignition.

**NOTE** - The module expects to see 3-ohm primary coil resistance (2.5-3.5) for any of the configurations.

The Ultima unit triggers the coil primary circuit - either as a dual-fire system (one trigger) or a single-fire system (two trigger signals). It also has an output for a tachometer and it has an input for using a VOES (which is recommended) to alter the spark timing during idle & cruising.

The install instructions are here: Ultima 53-644 [[http://www.ultimaproducts.com/53-644_Ignition.pdf|Installation Instructions (2012 version)]]\\

===== Daytona Twin Tec TC88A =====

{{ :techtalk:ref:engctl:tc88a-module-rocketmangb.jpg?300|Image from Rocketmangb of the XLForum}}
The TC88A Ignition Module is usable on the 2004-2006 carburetored models of the Sportsters. It replaces the stock Ignition Module and utilizes the CKP sensor and the MAP sensor to control the ignition timing.

The TC88A has dials on the module for selecting pre-programed ignition timing maps and choosing the level of the RPM Limiter. This is accomplished with two dials for timing maps and two dials for the RPM Limit.

One of the timing dials sets the Initial Timing while the second dial selects the Timing Advance Slope. These settings are explained further in the link below to information about the MAP Files.

One of the RPM Limit dials chooses the x1000 value and the other selects the x100 value. Note: Setting the RPM Limit to 0 will disable the module. (BE CAREFUL not to set the RPM Limit above a safe level for your engine configuration!)


In addition to the pre-programmed timing maps (selectable by the dials), the unit can be user-programmed to utilize customized timing advance maps instead of the pre-programmed maps. To use these customized maps, you must have a computer interface, such as the Daytona USB Interface (18014), and the Daytona PC-Link Software, to communicate with the TC88A module.

The TC88A also captures the following information:
| Firmware ID\\ Total Hours of Operation\\ Engine Starts\\ Maximum Engine RPM\\ Seconds at RPM Limit | | Elapsed Time (hours)\\ in RPM Bands:\\ \\ Idle\\ 1000-1499 RPM\\ 1500-1999 RPM\\ 2000-2499 RPM\\ 2500-2999 RPM\\ 3000-3499 RPM\\ 3500-3999 RPM\\ 4000-4499 RPM\\ 4500-4999 RPM\\ 5000-5499 RPM\\ 5500-5999 RPM\\ 6000-6499 RPM\\ 6500-6999 RPM |

===== Thunder Heart - EA4250D =====

This section is related to the Electronic Harness Controller available from Thunder Heart Performance Corp. The information gathered here was due to a significant effort by XLForum member, Roane, while trying to implement the EA4250D on his Ironhead Sportster. ((See this XLForum thread: http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2075235))

The TH EA4250D controller works in conjunction with whatever spark timing system you have, whether points, Ignition Control Module or later Engine Control Module. In any case, the TH unit does not control the spark creation or timing but rather simply controls the power to the coil (and ignition module) in order to allow or prevent the engine from running.

The installation manual can be downloaded at the Thunder Heart website (http://thunder-heart.com/Tech%20Service%20PDFs/EI4250.pdf). It should be consulted carefully in conjunction with the added information below. The manual information is not repeated here.

Here is an overall diagram to detail the connection of various switches, lights, sensors, etc. (click on an image to see a larger version):

{{:techtalk:ref:engctl:thunderheart-ea4250d-connectiondiagram.jpg?800|}}((Created by IXL2Relax of the XLForum))\\
**Note that the Auxiliary Power Outputs at J1-Pin1 and J5-Pin1 are both keyswitched power.\\
They are ONLY ON when the Keyswitch is ON.**


The following image shows the typical wiring that would be used for the\\
right-hand HD control - Wire colors are for the TH wire harness:

{{:techtalk:ref:engctl:thunderheart-ea4250d-rh-pre96.jpg?500|}}((Created by IXL2Relax of the XLForum))

Note that on most Sportsters, all the way up thru 2013, the wiring configuration is\\
functionally the same as above (with only some minor wire color variations - or\\
those noted in the TH Install Manual). The BLUE jumper wire shown in the\\
diagram between the RUN/STOP Switch and the Starter Button is typically\\
internal to the RH Switch Housing.

Below is a diagram of the ignition connections, from the handlebar switches to the Starter Motor.\\
This is intended to explain the operation of the internal Start Relay in relation to the RUN/KILL &\\
START switches. The shown internal connections are functional representations and do not represent\\
that these connections are simply jumper-wired as shown. (This configuration was gleaned from the\\
manual (minimal info) and from continuity testing. It is believed to be accurate, but no guarantee.)

===== Motogadget M-Unit Blue =====

\\

This unit is designed to replace the power control device on your motocycle. It does not provide engine spark or timing, so you must supply (or keep) that part of the motor control devices (points & mech advance or ignition module & timing sensor, coil, etc). Their main website is https://motogadget.com

The m-unit operation (and the manual) is updated regularly so it is important to know which version you have to know what functions are programmable. The manuals are not dated, so pay attention to the version & S/N references.

Take note that most input switch connections are expected to activate the signal by grounding the input. This may not be the way the stock switches are configured.
