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.

    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
