Your views on timeing advance

[gsro11]

Ya like the titel says, Whats a safe amount? What kind of power can you expect? I baseing this on what I have( jdm b18cr,I/E, ignition,obd1 p28, and I am running a little rich). If anything, I know responce will be improved, but is it worth it. So let me hear it/ Female Four,9400rpm, Snoopy where ya at.(and anybody else of course )

I really like the stock timing on these things. When doing emmisions testing I found that a lower timing of 14 degrees (which is still within spec) lowers a lot of emmisions.

Timing adjustments does make some inprovement over stock. Most noticeable with a tuneable ECU like Hondata or the likes.

Look here


That dyno shows only a change in ignition timing tuning. The base timing effects very little and when you are at WOT, the timing is read off ECU anyways like the fuel maps so it doesn't really matter.

So unless you have a tuneable ECU, I'd just keep it stock within spec.

If you are indeed running rich, just lean it out with the fuel.

chip and re tune....

leave the base timing at 16*btdc. if you have an ems then adjust timing maps with that if it makes power.
