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.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
