yankeedoodoo Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 I'm replacing my ecu with an Emerald. Presently my intake cam is advanced 4 degrees and my exhaust cam is retarded 2 degrees. When I've connected up the Emerald should I move them back to the "0" settings or leave them as is. In my imagination I can "sort of" make a case for either, but I would truly appreciate some real wisdom on the correct method to deal with the situation. Thank you for all thoughts and replies!!

oilyhands Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 The cam timing is a separate issue from the fitment of the Emerald ECU. Cam timing primarily affects volumetric efficiency, if it has already been optimised then leave it as it is. Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeedoodoo Posted November 1, 2002 Author Share Posted November 1, 2002 OILY: Thanks for cleaning your hands long enough to hit the keyboard with your excellent, logical response to my question. You are surely one of the absolute ALLSTAR posters on blatchat and once again the "last word" on a technical subject. If ever you are here, I'm buying 'em!!!

andycox Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 I thought it would be to good to be true. I have been looking for ways to get my K series car int the USA which to be honest seems to be a Mission Impossible job.

TomGaval Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Andy, I'm in Philly and imported a K series. FYI you can't import a complete car. I has to be shipped as a kit with the engine and I think gearbox a separate shipment. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankeedoodoo Posted November 4, 2002 Author Share Posted November 4, 2002 Feels like summer here in Ca. You could register the car here by bringing it in broken down. I know a guy here who bought a car in the UK and paid a company there to disassemble the car and ship it to him for re-assembly. The motor and trans were shipped separately. Please let me know if you would like to contact him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeedoodoo Posted November 6, 2002 Author Share Posted November 6, 2002 If a Ken Wiseman from Seattle has attempted to contact me about the information I have offered above please supply me with an e-mail address that I can use/understand/interpret/etc. My friend would be happy to speak with you about bringing in a knocked down car.

andycox Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Sorry it seems like I took over your thread here. I have heard about the split and ship method. but I know several states have a real problem emission testing non USA engines. I looks like PA is more favorable so there maybe a chance. Thanks for all the input, I will save the information for now and maybe look at getting the car over in 2003/2004. Is it SUMMER yet? 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
