hack vs. advancing timing?
 

ok, i heard that if you use the hack to control your 450's and boost that it advances the timing. this isn't good on a boosted engine. what would i do to get around this? could i just use the hack and get the msd btm and retart it like 1 degree each pound of boost?

Re:hack vs. advancing timing?
 

wrong section! ;D The BTM would work great or you could just back your timing down and how much boost are you running?

Re:hack vs. advancing timing?
 

not running boost yet but will be soon. i'm planning 7-8 on the street and 10-12 on the track. most likely only 10 tho, i have to much sweat and money in this engine to blow it being stupid.

You can also chip your ecu for retard. I guess that works better at lower psi and it would be cheaper than a msd btm too. Then again if your doing that you might as well chip your ecu for boost while your at it. ;)

lol good idea but i don't know how to work all that pgmfi.org and gettodyne and turboedit ---- anyways. i've tried to comprehend it before and it just doesn't work. does anyone sell chips that are specifically for boost and retarding timing?

yeah, hondata.

heh. $$$$

TurboEDIT has boost retard function.

Open your boost ROM, right-click, choose Boost Retard (Ign).

Type in the degree of retard per psi (0.0 - 3.0), click OK, and you're done.
