MSD Power Grid System Controller. He tried both Fat16 and Fat32 formats, multiple cards, and even a different Power Grid Controller. MSD Power Grid System Controller PN 7730 ONLINE PRODUCT REGISTRATION: Register your MSD product online and you’ll be entered in our monthly 8.5mm Super Conductor Spark Plug Wire give-away! Something like a GM HEI, a Pertronix Ignitor electronic, a Mallory 9000, a Hall effect distributor and many others can be used in conjunction with the 6AL-2. 35° there will be up to 5° of advance available. The Grid incorporates an efficient 32 bit microcontroller and an all new software program, called MSD View, and is USB compatible. The Power Grid will retard the input trigger to obtain the correct engine timing. Just hooked up my grid,fired the engine up and checked timing on balancer with light,its at 37 degree's. Jump to Latest Follow 1 - 8 of 8 Posts. Problems With Micro SD Card, MSD View 4.2.X and Higher. MSD View4, version 4.2.3.28305 will update the firmware to version 1.7.6. The MSD Power Grid is a versatile timing control that can help solve Wiring diagram shows the connection destination for each wire. (Meaning an 18° timing advance curve.) PN 7730/77303. Note: A crank trigger is recommended to supply the input signal to the Power Grid Ignition System to ensure the most precise timing and rpm control. Here’s the mistake some Grid users make when setting the initial timing in Grid and even re-checking it anytime afterwards. Solid core spark plug wires cannot be used with an MSD Ignition Control. MSD Power Grid baselines. The Power Grid Ignition System is the next evolution of our Programmable 7-Series Ignition Controls. To break it down in simpler terms, timing is setting where you want the spark to occur relative to piston position and speed. MSD Performance tells us that many of the ignition boxes in their arsenal can be triggered by way of a set of points or any number of OEM (and select aftermarket) electronic ignition systems. Going to retard timing 10-12 degrees from 40 to try and take some "hit" out of the tires at launch, then play with timing curve down track. This chart shows a typical timing set up with the initial set at 10° with the centrifugal advance starting to move at about 1500 rpm and reaching total timing 28° at 3500 rpm. ... MSD offers a Timing Tape PN 8985 that you apply to the balancer so you can accurately check the total timing of your engine. ENGINE TIMING Using MSD View software, an entire timing curve can be mapped. Ignition Timing is the process of setting the angle relative to piston position and crankshaft angular velocity that a spark will occur in the combustion chamber near the end of the compression stroke. I set max timing at 37 and main at 32. started car up and rechecked at balancer and its still at 37. so what am I doing wrong want to run engine at 32 degree's.. The maximum timing reference must be set properly for correct engine timing. The Windows based software is designed with tabs to help racers easily select different programming windows and parameters. MSD Power Grid CAN Bus System Setting Timing Set Maximum Timing normally same as crank trigger pickup setting Set Start Retard Set Individual Cylinder Timing Set Gear Retards Set Launch Retard (Timing By Time) Set Step Retards for NOS, (make sure to add Off Delay) Set Shift Retard The map specifies the actual engine timing. Grid “cannot” advance timing more than what you set the static crank timing to. One user recently reported a lot of problems trying to communicate and write to the Power Grid Micro SD Card. MSD loosely recommends taking timing out at hit, then maxing it out past 330, then gradually dropping a few degrees out on top end. Note the.The Power Grid Controller is the brains behind the entire system and can be used with any MSD Ignition or the Pro Mag to … Note: A crank trigger is recommended to supply the input signal to the Power Grid Ignition System to ensure the most precise timing and rpm control.
