TiiCo CONVERSION OWNERS PAGE
It is very important to plug into your ECU and check your CO% and set timing according to the following instructions. Failure to do so can result in piston failure and void your warranty.
Timing: Clear fault codes. After fan has cycled, (this is very important!!) set basic timing to 10-12 degrees BTDC for the standard TiiCo engine and 6 degrees BTDC for the high output (6 degrees marked on engine timing cover with small hole). Set the CO to 1% with the oxygen sensor disconnected, reconnect after setting. A fuel injection manual is available in PDF format on the owner’s page. A digital degree advance timing light must used: (Mac Tools # TL 300 or Snap-On # OTC 3375 or equivalent). Remove the over flow tank for better access to the timing marks. Using the 1552 (or equivalent) , go to engine electronics basic setting prompt 04, channel 001, and this will raise the idle to 1480 rpm’s so you can set timing manually. Set timing light; advancing it to 10 –12 degrees BTDC (TIMING DATA IS ONLY ACCURATE WITH THE DIGITAL ADVANCE TIMING LIGHT. THE TIMING INFORMATION RETRIEVED WITH THE 1552 OR EQUIVALENT IS NOT ACCURATE). Loosen the distributor and rotate so notch on crankshaft pulley aligns directly under arrow on timing cover looking through license plate cover. Tighten down distributor hold bolt. Re-check timing to make sure it hasn’t moved.
Setup: Plug 1552 (or 1552 / 51 emulator) in under
rear seat. Baum Tools (baumtools.com) CS2000 and VDS PRO also work and
instructions are available. A required fuel injection workshop manual is
available to download for free. Clear codes again and set adaptation to
00129.
NEW!! Upgrade your power steering pump (no more leaks), alternator (120 amps optional) and AC compressor to late model Golf / Jetta III with serpentine belt for $849.00 plus freight.
Golf / Jetta II fuel injector and rail option:
If your Vanagon injectors are not reusable, this is an economical option as Vanagon injectors can cost up to $130.00 each. TiiCo offers Golf II injectors, fuel rail, clips and a new fuel pressure regulator for $329.00. Injector bracket posts will also need to be trimmed.
IMPORTANT NOTE to conversion owners: These plates should always be welded to the chassis for additional structural support. They are mounted on the rear of the engine carriers.
