Hi,

i've recently re-built my cossie 4x4 engine and its running on a 2 wheel drive loom and a 4x4 l8.

Im finding it hard to time on the timing light and the turbo is getting very hot!!!
Any special way of timing it??

Thanks

the cozzy does not require timming in the conventional way as other older cars ie you do not move to dizzy in order to advance or retard the ignition, the ecu looks after the timming automatically. what you need to do is have the cam timming lined up with all the marks in the correct spot and then the rotor arm in the dizzy lined up with a mark on the dizzy body and thats it in a nutshell.the brain does the rest

if you car is running then its ok and you can leave alone as there is a bit of alowance for dizzy misalignment within the ecu

As above, except to mention the cam timing is done to the LUG nearest the V groove, NOT the V groove itself, as some mistakenly do.
The ignition timing has a fixed refference point, the sensor that reads the lugs on the bottom pulley, this with the phase sensor(in the dizzy) tell it what it's doing, and the rest is sorted from there.

have you fitted the correct tps, and done the wiring mod to the loom?
