generally you take away a little fuel and add timing back in after peak torque. |
Re:how to tune timing?
Take a basemap with uberdata or something and use the standard 0.75 degrees per PSI. In my experience this is a lot for most turbo setups with ideal timing being closer to 0.30 degrees per PSI. This is dependant on IC, turbo and exhaust flow.
Go get a mazda knock sensor from a protege and screw it into any available threaded hole in your block. It will screw in. Hook that up to your laptop as a mic in. Plug in headphones and use the audio amp built in. Personally I use a bandpass filter on the above setup but that is enough to hear the onset of knock. Something interesting is that as the RPMs go up above 4500 or so Honda doesn't advance the ignition anymore. There is power to be made - even on an NA setup. More on a boosted setup. Be aware as you advance your ignition you need to add more fuel. For every 5 or so degrees this works out to 1-2 increments on uberdata. I would recommend tuning without boost so you can get used to this setup. -Michael |
