What the articles don't tell you is what each mark on the crank pulley means. Looking at the pulley, the marks starting on the firewall side going from left to right are -5, 0, 5, 10, 15, 20. So if you wanted to advance to 15 you would put it on the second mark from the right.
Hope that helps.

if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. as it is, this timing advance kit seems *very* circumspect. ... i wouldn't bother with it, really. you're best off sticking to the tried and true method for advancing your timing. follow g-funk's link for a *free* mod that will give you *real* results, not imaginary ones...

My cousin sells those timing advance kits for $5 including shipping, he put something a little different than this. This guy makes it seem like its a performance chip altough my cuz tells you that it is up to 20HP on some cars. But think about it, how much HP do you expect from a $5 product?? I trip out because people buy these "kits", sometimes more than one for separate cars.
Well i know this is backstabbing but right now my cousin is pissing me off so basically the "kit" consists of instructions, a title page, a resistor used to swap out with your old resistor in the air temp sensor.
But see its not really a scam because he's not calling it a chip. Stupid people who dont realize that you cant buy a performance chip for $5 make it seem like a scam. For $5 what do you really expect??
if the principle is to make the ecu think its getting colder air, then why not route the intake temp sensor somewhere colder and or aim it there rather than bothering with the ecu.........just an idea though......
Extend the wires and zip tie or duct tape it to the A/C condensor where it gets pretty chilly. (zip ties and duct tape fix everything) I bet that will make the ECU think you're in Siberia.
I hope everyone knows I'm kidding, but maybe it's not a bad idea after all.

I remember reading about a guy that did the resistor mod on his sentra last year or around that time(in the b15sentra forums)...supposedly it makes the ecu give more fuel because it thinks the air is denser, which might result in a little more power(can't really see why right now though).
