im going to start logging the timing adjustments on my tc becosue i was noticing last night that it was advancing the timing up to 30 degrees at 5% throttle and 1500 rpms

this doesnt seem right to me does any one else get numbers like that when they are monitoring there car??

as far as i remember it used to be no where near that with less mods but im to lazy to yank off mods so let me know what you guys get lol

 

What are you using to monitor?

the one on the top of the page i usealy use it for just reseting check engin lights and i was going to get back on the trouble shooting the CEL with the safc issue but couldnt get it to throw the light last night so i started monitering the timing and noticed the ecu was advancing it alot

 

sounds about right accourding to my scanguage

 

ok then thats cool as long as others have the same


i wounder if stock every one gets the same numbers as us slightly modded do

 

and i just googled scangauge it seems awsome i should buy one so i can have one permenitly in my car seems nice

 

yea its cool. plus it fits perfectly in the cubby hole

 

i cant move my safc II lol that would be silly but ill find a place to put it i just need to pick up some other stuff first




how is the load time on this??

 

i have read speculations about aggressive stock timing, so this may be proof. I guess the chances of detonating to hell at 5% throttle at 1500rpms are not that great.

 

LMAO, i just spent several minutes folding an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper trying to see if it would. thanks!

would someone be so kind as to give us a rough graph of the stock timing curve, showing throttle angle, rpms, speed, timing degree?

 

if i have time after making my weekly trip to chicago to pick up used parts for the civic then yeah ill map it all out for you

 

By replacing the cat in the header and mid-pipe and increasing flow, the engine runs more efficiently and will advance timing. I have read that the TC has a knock sensor so it shouldn't be a problem. I always run 89 octane for just a bit of safety.

 

thanks, i appreciate it!

 

Graphs? :D
