what should the timing be,the haynes manual says 12degrees btdc for efi xr3i on tickover but would it be different if it was turbo,also what should it roughly be at say 2000rpm,3000rpm and so on,also does the ecu adjust the timing

 

anybody

 

timing is dependant on load aswell!

 

if its a efi xr3i then the igntion timing is fixed as its coil pack

 

oh right ok then,yeh it was an xr3i loom but im running an ofac ecu now 4 turbo

 

wud it b the same as tickover then if the car was just sat still

 

so its coil pack

then theres no wat to adjust the igntion timing manually

alls you can adjust is the cam timing

 

sadly not mate

 

oh right ok then i was just curious as 2 if it gets adjusted by the ecu if it was turbo then,also does the flywheel only go on 1 way then

 

?????

The ECU will adjust the timing, all you can do is adjust the static timing. If you modify the engine your best be is an aftermarket ECU so you can adjust the timing (and fuelling), especially if you go turbo.

 

oh right ok then suppose theres no chance of knowing what it should b then at different revs

 

what do u mean by the static timing then,do u mean at idle,how can u adjust that then

what i meant was there no way of adjusting it manually like a dizzy as this is the way i thought he was thinking

flywheel will on go round 1 way yes

 

oh right yeh i understand i thought it might only b able 2 b adjusted by the ecu,i just had 2 make sure the flywheel omly goes on 1 way aswell,wud the timing b different on tickover if the ecu had a chip plugged in
