Start with some free lessons right here: hpcdmy.co/EFI101y ------------------------------------ In this webinar we’ll discuss how to go about it and demonstrate the technique on our Nissan 350Z running the Haltech Elite 2500 ECU. We’ll also discuss techniques for making your own TDC marker if your engine doesn’t have one. Even though we're using a Haltech Elite to demonstrate practically in this lesson, as always Andre is comprehensive in the knowledge he shares so that it isn't just specific to this ECU alone, it is merely a tool to help demonstrate and explain the principles. With that in mind, even if you are using a different platform, you will get value from this lesson. ------------------------- TIME STAMPS: 0:00 - Why is checking your base ignition timing so important? 2:05 - What happens if it isn’t correct 3:16 - Why it might not be correct 5:25 - Finding true TDC 6:20 - Timing light options 9:24 - Getting a signal for the timing light 12:02 - What do your pulley marks mean? 15:48 - Parallax error 17:45 - Demo with freshly installed engine and ECU 22:32 - What if your engine doesn’t fire 23:50 - How to adjust incorrect timing 27:26 - Checking timing drift at high RPM 30:40 - Questions ---------------------------------- 🧠 Want to watch over 290 members-only webinar on tuning, wiring, engine building, car setup, fabrication or data analysis topics?
