Boost timing Controller
 

Hey guys, i keep hearing talk of so many parts, and i can't seem to figure out what i actually need, as everyone has a different oppinion on what is really needed??? Will i need a BTM if i am using a Apexi Vafc. It's on a 90 Civic z6, with a 14b, and dsm injectors runing anywhere from 5-8Psi..Will this be necessary, or just an extra toy for higher boost? Oh, i also have an adjustable FPR..Man, i've bought most of my turbo parts, it's the engine/fuel managment where the $$$$ is.......

the btm is a great tool.. it can save your engine. as if you were to detect detonation you can always crank the nob on the btm to remove it. you see the more you retard the ignition on boost the more boost you can handle without detonation. lets say you tuned on a cool day, and now your in hot traffic and she is detonating like a bitch.. you add retardation, get her home and retune there. if you have the extra dough id use one just for that alone.

HaHaha we-tardation, are those MSD BTW's compatible with Honda

Re:Boost timing Controller
 

you can check the msd website. mines connected to a msd 6al ignition. that would work on anything.

MSD 6BTM, PN 6462
Supercharged or turbo engines will benefit from the 6BTM in more ways than one. Not only do the full energy sparks help burn the fuel mixture, it allows the driver to retard the ignition timing based on the amount of boost being produced by the supercharger. The timing is adjusted from a dash
mounted knob and can be retarded 1 - 3° per pound of boost with a maximum of 15°. There is also a built-in adjustable rev control to protect the engine from over-rev damage.


sweet.
how much is that?

Ok, so i will need an aftermarket ignition(MSD) to run one?
Are alot of u guys using these, or will it work fine with stock ignition timing?

Re:Boost timing Controller
 

honestly, BTMS work great but on my experience, the setting is set pretty low when we have used them, in some cases they were set right at 0. But it is true if you have any type of detonation, you can just tune it right now. if you are interested in one, BLACKSI has one for sale.. I am sure you could talk him down in his price..

How much is he asking? Does it need to be used with a Aftermarket ignition////////

Re:Boost timing Controller
 

No it does not, basically the MSD 6btm, is an "Aftermarket ignition" its a MSD 6al with a BTM built in, they cost 320 bucks new... I think he is asking 275, its practically new, he used it for about a month or so, then took it off when he got his zdyne.

Make an offer, I belive its in the classifieds.
