I have searched, in fact I have looked into this many times before, but for some reason my memory isn't functioning today... So, after a manual conversion, and the neutral switch NOT connected, should the timing always be 25 BTDC, or 15 BTDC?

 

Cheers Tudor...

 

Also, just to add another question, I need to temporarily connect the neutral switch to do an active HICAS test, I know it's pin 44 on the ECU I need to ground, but I don't fancy the hassle of grounding it from the ECU, does pinn 44 go to any of the redundant plugs in the engine bay from the auto loom? Cheers...

15 btdc

 

the Netrul and Revese Wires are on the harnce just where the main driver light is

there is a faq with pics .. i just did mine at the ecu

15 btdc without the neutral switch connected? I'm pretty sure I set mine to 25, was ages ago though, I did think it was 15 when in neutral, then when you put it in gear, it advances it to 25, or am I the wrong way round? (hence the original question).

 

And cheers, I shall get on pin 44 and the connectors under the bonnet and ring it through...

15deg in neutral and 25deg when in gear, but i wouldnt bother connecting the neutral switch, i dont like the rev change at idle when im sat at traffic lights, so snipped the wire i did to the ecu.

Cheers mate... Just checking I set the timing correctly, at 25 btdc with no neutral switch, I didn't bother connecting it after the manual conversion as I had read similar statements as yours...
