On that note, optimal timing is said to be 18 degrees BTDC on KA24DE engines for turbocharged setups. You need to retard the spark at least 3 degrees to fight knock, but 5 degrees is best. SAFC-II comes with a knock sensor voltage reading, and you can program a threshold into it so that an alarm sounds when the engine has too much knock. It's a nice feature, but some people have had trouble with their knock sensors. The MSD timing regulator is best. Greddy EManage allows you to screw with timing as well.
