didnt get a chance today,mate has my timing light'

but could anyone tell me what these ecu's are please'---

p6

23710 21u13

mec-r533 a1 4803

other is>

mec-r630 a2 car was bought with first one in it, now runing second 1 as told was maped for higher boost and boost cut taken off so on,but i dout it,,they both run the same., never use to cut out,

The consult data shouldn't move, this is the ecu tuned idle timing,

because the timing in the ecu can't be adjusted you need to set the engine timing to exactly what the ecu timing shows.

the reason for this is the engine has been tuned from factory with the engine timing at 20 (at idle)

so as the rpm increases and load increases the ecu reads off its factory tuned map.

but if the timing is not set to the factory engine timing then the motor ecu will be running too much or too little timing depending which way the timing is set (advanced or retarded).

-if its retarded then the engine performance will be low

-if its advanced there is a chance the engine may ping or detonate causing engine failure.

ok, follow these steps

1. unbolt number 1 coilpack from its cradle but leave it plugged in to the loom

2. get an old spark plug lead and put it between the coilpack and the spark plug, you may need to shove something conductive in the end of the coilpack to bridge the gap between the spring and the lead

3. hook the timing light onto the spark plug lead

4. start the car and make sure your getting spark to cyl 1 (timing light should flash)

5. plug your consult thingy in and see what timing its displaying (in that pic its 20)

6. adjust the cas until the timing on the crank is the same as the timing displayed in consult, if its 20 then you want to line it up with the 3rd mark from the right on the balancer. turning the cas clockwise retards timing and anticlockwise advances it

thanks guys, but i know all this stuff , just wondering why it sits on 20degrees at idle timing,dvs32r u say its factory? i just thought it should read 15.as i plug into sr20 and it reads 15. i can change to -15 but carnt burn to ecu,as its stock ecu. change in test mode and motor sounds like it should.

    • Gday, Due to not finding much up to date info on this topic I thought I'd make a thread to get peoples latest opinions/recommendations. Background info -  I've got a S1.5 R33 GTST as a fun project car, mainly for street use and occasional drag strip, apart from all the cosmetic things I'll be doing a full rebuild of the engine with forged internals. Since it'll be getting new cams (kelford) and springs to match I thought I might as well get new lifters and valves while I'm at it, the dash says 160k KMs but the engine seems pretty tired, compression measures about 130psi across all cylinders so I'd like to freshen everything up. This is where I'm tempted to just fork out the extra and go solid lifters while it's all apart, aiming for 400-450kw atw with a flex tune. Assuming all supporting mods (oiling, fuel and all bolt ons) with a lightly ported head and turbo to match (yet to make a decision possibly gtx3582r or similar from Hypergear) I've seen the Tomei kits with just the buckets getting around, Supertech sells most things - Supertech High Performance Cam Followers | Trusted Racing Cam Followers Questions -  Has anyone found the Hydraulic lifters to limit them at this power level? Is it usually found that you can just clean the stock lifters and find they work fine?  Does going solid lifters save any headaches/issues with hydraulic lifters in the future? Any recommendations on other things that will need to be replaced, I know I'll need to get the solid profile cams but can you use the same type of valves and springs/retainers and is it recommended to change the guides and stem seals?    Summary -  Basically looking for pros/cons and wanna know if I'll actually need the extra RPMs from solid lifters or it'll just be bragging rights to say it ReVs OvEr 8000 Cheers
    • Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...
    • Stock bypass valves are good for plenty of boost.
    • Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.
