About setting mechanical timing. I warm it up, rev it 3 times past 3000rpm pull the tps and then put the gun on it. Lines are rock solid on the pulley. ECU talk still shows 15 degrees though regardless of where the mechanical timing is set.
Car idles at 750rpm. When I first fitted it to the car it would idle at 1500rpm, but the Nissan ECU slowly brought that down over a couple of months.
If what Haulin wrote about the ECU talk just reading on the base map that would make sense.
In your experience clocking the distributor changes the timing reading on an ECU Talk?
If so, I have a problem somewhere.
I put the timing back to 22 this morning (mechanical, ECU talk still shows 15). Different car, tons more power & revs cleanly to redline. I bet the problem will come back this evening though.
I have a wideband. AFR is 13:1 WOT 4-7k RPM
I did a data log this morning when it was running properly.
I will do one again this evening and upload the files.
No offence taken.
You have to ignore the ECU Talk. It's only reporting the timing from your timing map. Here's what a timing map looks like.
Notice below 800 rpm its 5*. If you idle at 750, the ECU Talk will report 5* no matter how you clock the distributor. As long as the idle is below 800 rpm ECU Talk will report 5*. If you rev to 1600, the ECU Talk will report 12* because that what in the timing map.
