how do i retard my timing when it comes to turboin.........how many degrees should i retard it?
im runnning 10psi
im runnning 10psi
retard timing?
- Thread starter TiiM iiS l3eAsT
- Start date
a good safe starting point is .8-1 degree per psi of boost(your rom editor should have this option)
too much retarded timing can cause damage just as well as too much total timing. too far retarded timing will cause the combustion to take place on the way out of the cylinder when the exhaust valve is open, leading to damage. too much total timing will cause detonation, and possibly kill a piston or break a rod.
you cannont tune timing with a wideband...you need a knock detector, and an EGT gauge helps as well

how much is a knock detector? where can i get one?
Are we talking about retarding timing via the distributor or perhaps by adjustable cam gears?

I see, do adjustable cam gears have any use on a turbocharged car? I actually just picked up a set of Skunk2 Ti series gears for my H22 turbo project.
