Road Tuning: Base Ignition Timing / Fuel Pressure
Base Ignition Timing / Fuel Pressure
00.50
00:00 | - One of the most important tasks when tuning any engine, is to set the base ignition timing. |
00:05 | This means calibrating the ECU so that the ignition advance number the ECU is displaying on the laptop screen is the same as the ignition advance the engine is seeing if you put a timing light on it. |
00:17 | Without doing this, the actual ignition timing could be anywhere and if it happens to be over advanced, this could result in serious engine damage. |
00:26 | While it isn't as critical as the base ignition timing, base fuel pressure has a big impact on the amount of fuel your injectors can flow and this will also affect the injector dead time or the injector characterisation numbers, so it's important to get this right too. |
00:42 | This module is going to explain how to adjust both settings correctly. |
