I have this homemade turbo kit on my GFs car and my timing does all the way down to 13.5 at WOT at 6lbs , there isnt any audible detonation and im running water injection . the AFRs are between 11.5-12.2 , but its making me mad that the car is pulling all this timing on its own .

what are you guys/gals timing running at ?

what are you using to monitor timing?

also, post more info about your setup :D

"For tuning purposes an for the people who want to see how much Ignition Timing the Stock ECU advances, here u go."

Ignition Timing Advancement at Idle:


At 2007 RPM:


At 3167 RPM:


Hope that clears some issues with tuning for u guys. When guessing how much timing is advanced with 87 octane and with the stock ECU.

Sorry all the pictures are blurry, but my camera tends bother some times.

digimoto, very nice! glare from the monitor tells me that that is either a laptop or pda though

get a proper carpc!

also, why the hell is your intake temperature going DOWN with time... each new picture it dropped a few degrees, lol.

edit: nvm, just noticed the rpms went up too.. wind chill factor, lol

I was doing a CarPC project with my older xbox, but messed it up in the proccess, also using Linux was a pain in the @$$. The pics are from a laptop. Also I have a new 160F thermostat, that's why the temps are so low. Normally they would be on the 210F range. I live in PR.

hey soros , all of your numbers are just reving the car ? or is that under a load in gear ? I was really looking for say from 4500-6200 rpm with a load in 3rd or 4th gear .

I did more runs last night working on the tune and I was registering timing in the low teens under boost and I was not even getting on it at all it was like 13-15 degrees and the RPM's where not even past 3000.

soros151

I have seent a max of 34-36 advancement while under load. Using 87oct. That's the highest. The photos are just reving. Sorry, hope that helps.

hey Eric , are u able to add timing with the harness u have ? I would think 18 degrees would still be safe with good fuel and 50/50 water meth . the car killing the timing is ____ing me off . because there really isnt much difference between 4lbs and 6lbs with it killing 3 points of timing between the two .


I know there have to be others logging what there F/I car is doing under WOT

ERIC-TC

Yes, I can add timing with emanage. I'm waiting to get the black-box installed before I go back to stock timing (or start to add some). I was looking at some old logs and with no timing reduction the ECU was running like 17 degrees under partial-throttle acceleration, I'm pulling about 3 degrees at part-throttle boost my 13-14 number seems to be consistent.

My ECU is running timing in the low teens at WOT when under load just like your car is.

hey Eric , have u ran the car on a "learned" ecu and then a fresh reset ecu to see if the timing may be different ? I may have to try this to see if I can get some more timing before I bring this thing to the track .
