hey guys i just pulled out my cas to have a look at it casue i got missfire probs and i put it back in assuming it only goes one way and i cant get a reading of 10 deg btdc with timing light the cas wont spin anymore anti clockwise

please help me asap cheers

i just did the waterpump on my rb20 is the 25 the same setup with the cas? if so all i did was scribe around the nuts b4 i took it off and the pinion in the middle was half moon only goes one way... also around the cas input it has teeth so it was fairly straight forward...

You need to know what the static timing at idle the ECU is set to deliver. Your tuner might have set it at something out of the ordinary, so it needs to be set at that.

Now... if you know the static idle is 10,15 or 20 degrees and still can't get the correct timing, then the problem is the configuration of the CAS trigger angle, and that trigger will need to be altered.

If you told us what type of ECU it would help.

Also, keep in mind that if you do correct the Trigger settings for the ECU, and get the correct ignition at idle again (15-20BTDC optimal)... then chances are you will have to have your ignition maps fixed too, as altering the main trigger detection angle alters the base calculations for all your ignition maps.

In other words... drive it and potentially have an expensive BANG!

Use caution and seek expert advice if your not sure.

all i done was pulled it out and went to put it back in an then wanted to change the ignition timing to 10 instead of 5 like it was originally

i am runnin a link ecu

i just wana get it back in thr right loction i set the advance limit back to zero on hand controller and i cant get it past 5 the cas wont go anti clock wise anymore please tell me wat to do

cheers

Is there a half moon key in the camshaft and the CAS?

HI mate, i think i can help

Do you have timing light? always check timing before removal so as to have same performance afterwards.! for next time.

.

1. re fit cas aligning the half moon carefully ( as they can break off) if it does leave it in the cas.

2. grab timing light connect it to your loop wire near ignition module at top rear of engine above coils.

point in direction of timing marker. If u cannot see markers follow on to next step

3. grab a mate or girlfriend and get them to slowly open the spring face of magnetic pick up (on loop wire) while you are still watching timing marks. you will notice that the marks now align with 5deg markers increments. use your under bonnet stickers as guide for factroy ECU timing.

Aftermarket you will need to get engine warm interface with ECU read what base timing is once car is warm set to to this. you will need to rev engine and hold at 1500 or less to make sure that ecu reads same as timing marks.

3a if having trouble another way to get no1 timing is to remove valley cover and connect timing pick up to centre wire of 3 ( just more hassle on some cars)

i hope this is not to late

most ecu's have lock timing with 10-15 deg this is used to set timing.

I would prefer if you set everything to way it was.

read what timing the hand controller is saying hope fully it reads 15-20deg

follow the previous post .

im online all day today to help guide you through.

      Boost level and torque curve

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.

      Here's the torque curves from the car I ramped boost up later in the rpm to allow a slightly wider useful power curve - the power curve is a bit weird shaped also thanks to the TVIS (or whatever they call it with the 4EFTE in this Starlet) which changes the volume of the intake manifold throughout the rpm range, but you can see that the green power curve actually holds later on with the extra boost... but looks almost more like the kind of thing you'd expect from a cam or exhaust change
