Hi Thomas nice video. Please encourage your subscribers to always use a timing light to verify or sync the motor with the app. Simply warm up the engine and using your timing light confirm for example 14 deg @ 1000 rpm. If it is not reading that simply loosen the distributor and move it until it does. Then tighten up the distributor. Once you verify one point is correct all the others will follow.
Hi Ed, Yes, the manual tells you to put the motor at TDC, then rotate the distributor until the light aligns with the hole. That gets it basically set. I did it a little different. While, I did do that, I wanted to make sure. So I studied the advance curve and chose a point on the incline. I choose a point on the rise, that way I know what the advance should be at when at a certain RPM. Then you can use the app which reads RPM and tells you advance. You can then dial it in perfectly by rotating the distributor. No timing light is needed if you use the 123 that has the app.
Thomas, thanks for the video. Does the D-Jet model address the need for trigger points? I have a 1972 Porsche 914 1.7L with original D-Jet fuel injection. Thanks for any input.
i just bought a 914.4 and the ignition is locked on it what’s the best way to get it unlocked so i can drive it home? i tried to just muscle it but couldn’t. anything will help
I plugged one in on my 240z and it made the car come alive!
by far the best upgrade I’ve made to the vehicle.

Did I see an Aubergine 914 at the end of this video?

Yes, that’s precisely what it’s for. A great replacement for worn trigger points.
@@UberWerks914 Thanks, Thomas. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Does the 123 for D jet have a,few extra low voltages wires? If the D jet version was fully adjustable would it be more adaptable for performance EFI?
No, just the three wires. You can use it with EFI. See my other video.
Which do u choose for carburated 2.0
The one without DJet will work fine

You'll have to disassemble the steering column, ignition, and lock.
Question. If you want to set the 123 Ignition to 10 Over tdc. How do you do that?
The app allows for tuning a custom advance curve at each rpm.
@@UberWerks914 what if I only have a Distributor without bluetooth etc. Only the standard 123 Ignition with vacum
@@NormT2a then you would select one of the pre programmed curves.
Can you address if it makes the car perform better such at idle and acceleration.
Yes it does. Timing is more precise.
what in the world are you talking about? My 1.8 has points and works fine......
I was talking mechanical/vacuum distributors and how the 123 can solve various problems, especially for D Jet cars.
