How much should I advance my timing? I've heard 17 to 20 deg. What would be the best, considering I use 91 octane? Thanks for the help.

 

[tkyan]

15 degrees max. Use 91 octane.

15 degrees max. Use 91 octane.

WHAT..? Dude...if you have a stock ECU, you can run up to 19 degrees on 91 octane. Dyno testing will tell you were the most power is for timing degree. If you have JWT ecu, then you want 15...

If you dont know the answer...please dont post.

lemme also say.that if you have a 1.6..15 degrees is about the highest you wanna take it.maybe thats what Thomas meant.if so, cool

just a little missunderstanding...

I think tkyan was talking about GA16 timing. Stock GA16 timing is 8 deg and you can advance up to 15 deg with premium gas. Yeah, it says BigHitter23's car is a 99 SE-Limited. That's the SR20DE car. So stock timing is 15 and you can advance up to 19 deg..

OOPS.
Yea, I was thinking about 1.6's.

 

[Black200SXSER]

thats cool...no harm done. as long as everyone knows the difference.

and just as a side note:
on either motor...DO NOT tolerate detonation...it will damage the engine

 

[nss200sx]

ok can someone explain to me on how to exactly advance the timing??

 

[Black200SXSER]

Sit in the drivers seat
Put key in ignition
Turn radio off
Push clock button til it blinks
and set time ahead as far as you want it...

whalla..ADVANCED TIMING!

There are instructions on www.se-r.net

 

[nss200sx]

ok that was a good one.....

 

[nss200sx]

casey

 

[Black200SXSER]

and so I have to go look for it for you...? c mon man...if you are too lazy to look for a link, then you will be too lazy to advance the timing...

i have a 99 se and went up to about 18
i tried 20 and i heard knocking....

 

[AznVirus]

click on the link in my sig, and youll find a How-To on advanced timing. hope its helps

 

[rkeith]

i have a 1.6 and only run 93 octane..... 15 degrees is the max for my engine, correct? it wont cause pinging, knocking or any start of detonation will it???....

 

[Nostrodomas]

No it should'nt. But if you do, retard the timming down a lil more. Like down to 13.

 

[rkeith]

is there any noticable difference between 13 and 15?

 

[GA16DESentraXE]

I have a 1.6 and I have my timing at roughly 18, running 93 octane and have no pinging.

 

[rkeith]

18?!? can you notice a big difference? how long have you been running at 18??....
