Default Ignition timming 12 or 16 deg?

I know z6 use 16 deg and y8 12 deg, but timming is managed by de ecu, so if i have a y8 with a obd1 conversion (P2 ecu what timming i have to set?

If you run a Y8, you should run 12* of ignition timing at idle. Basically what I suggest for most is take a Z6(p2 map, subtract 4* everywhere, then take your timing light and make your dizzy read 12*(normally need to advance the dizzy almost all the way to accomplish this). Then for an ignition retard in boost, generally 1* per psi works pretty well. Another option is leave the dizzy where it is stock, assuming it was reading 12* with the stock ECU, and add 5* to the P28 map. Just know whatever value displayed in your rom editing program will be roughly 9.75* off.

You can't just use a stock P28 ecu on a Y8 engine. It will run like a piece of ----. Buy the P2P ECU if you want to do this swap or chip a P28 ECU and tune the car.

i learned with my last set-up that i hate th Y8. i will never run another with a chipped ecu because the timing issues. would rather run the z6 head and p28 maps.
