In this webinar we’ll discuss how to go about it and demonstrate the technique on our Nissan 350Z running the Haltech Elite 2500 ECU. We’ll also discuss techniques for making your own TDC marker if your engine doesn’t have one.

Even though we're using a Haltech Elite to demonstrate practically in this lesson, as always Andre is comprehensive in the knowledge he shares so that it isn't just specific to this ECU alone, it is merely a tool to help demonstrate and explain the principles. With that in mind, even if you are using a different platform, you will get value from this lesson.
