Anyone?
I need to take couple of degrees timing out on my L6.
- I have a chip from MSD.

How it that possible?

Thanks.

 

PM "flux capacitor" and ask him to look at this thred, as he will know if the L6 shares the octane wires that the L8 does.

 

There's a very good description here: http://www.bigturbo.co.uk/main3.htm
But that is assuming all the maps are still located at their original place.

 

He means on a switch in the car mate, like via an octane wire on the l8 (thats how I do it on mine and what he is looking to replicatae) but what he needs to know is:

Do the L6 ecu's have octane wires

If so, what values do MSD put against each wire (stu will need to answer that)

and if the wire is grounded does it have an effect only when the ECU is turned on, or can he connect and disconnect the wire from earth while the engine is running and see the timing come in and out.

 

Thanks mate, I have sent him pm and I hope to hear from him....

 

I still haven't found out how to change the timing on my Cossie ECU=L6
Anyone?

I have sent Stu at MSD e-mail, but he is very busy after his holiday...so I am still waiting for help from you guys....

 

Octane retard works the same for L1, L6 and L8, all via pins 13 and 14.
When activated retard is 2, 4 or 8 degrees on standard program.
You get 8 degrees retard if you ground both pin 13 and 14.
You get 2 or 4 degrees retard by grounding pin 13 or 14. Check with a timing light.
You can ground the pins with running engine and then observe the timing change.

 

Perfect, thanks for that.
Thats what I thought when we were chatting by PM but I couldnt give a defnitive answer as ive only done it on L8 not L6 and didnt want to make an assumption as obviously its a pretty important thing to get right!

Icekottarinn, all you need to do now, is try grounding out pin 13 and check with a timing light that it does indeed take 2 degrees out, you can do this at idle as its a global modifier.
Assuming that works, then when your nitrous is activated it can ground that same wire for you to remove timing while you are on the gas.

Thanks guys you are the best!!

 

a pleasure as always mate
