I just bought an 89 Civic Si with a mini-me swap done. It's a D16 block mated to a y8 head from a 96 EX, so I've got SOHC VTEC going on my Field's VTEC controller. Anyway...
The previous owner has the timing retarded quite a bit, I want to say its around 12-14 degrees BTDC versus the stock 16-20 (??) I just want to know if anybody that has this setup know where I oughta put it, if I should change it at all. He said he retarded it for anti-detonation reasons.
Also, Should I tweak the fuel curve numbers? If so, how so?
I have VTEC setup to engage at 5000, is this good?
Thanks, all help IS appreciated!
