    Ok guys, Outback Jack here. Now a few of you guys have converted your earlier EA-ED and XG's to an EL ecu and maybe a j3 chip tune as well. Now when I first did mine, I was told to leave the timing as per Standard XG timing, which is 10 BTDC. Later I was told 0 degrees or TDC as per EL ecu. Now we all know that EA-ED and XG run 10BTDC and there is a TDC timing mark and a IGN mark which is 10BTDC and where you set the timing in base timing mode. On an EL there is only TDC timing mark or 0 degrees BTDC which is where you set the base timing. I just wanted to know from other people on here, where have you set your base timing after an EL ecu conversion? With or without j3. I am being told that EA-ED and XG are exactly the same base timing as EL. Which is not right. To my logic 0 degrees or TDC would be the Base timing required as the motors are basically the same but the ECU has been changed and thus changing the base timing to suit is required. Also that by running the standard EA-ED and XG base timing of 10BTDC would mean the timing is +10 degrees through the whole timing curve as EL has a base timing of 0 or TDC. Interested in what others have done and which timing is correct in this situation. Cheers! Jack. Sent from my S21 using Tapatalk

    EA run TFI dizzy, EL run TFI dizzy, so that's ok. EA ecu will want base timing of 10BTDC regardless of motor, but I'm not familiar with AU motor. I take it they only have a 0 degree or TDC timing mark. In that case, get a piece of string, go around the crank. Take string and measure length. Then divide Length by 36 This will give you the distance of ten degrees of timing. Put white mark that distance to right of original timing mark on balancer and when in base timing mode, line the new mark on balancer with original TDC marker and you will be at 10BTDC. I have a digital timing light which is even easier. Increase timing on light to 10 degrees advanced and mark spot on the motor, then return light to 0 and align new mark with original crank marker.Done. Sent from my S21 using Tapatalk

    This could be interesting Jas. Now i have to go backwards on a au race and run a ea ecu with a el dizzy, so this would in a sense be drama, will i end up with or not in ur knowledge? Cheers Jason Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Yep... My coupe is JG65RE, which was complianced May 75. Mine's a 500 as well. Fun fact: I looked at a date stamp under the steering column, the car was assembled April 21, a year to the day before my birthday Sent from my CPH1920 using Tapatalk
