Timing Retard // Spark Plugs should i use???
 
okay, i know it was already on here somewhere but im to lazy to look for it, i already installed the turbo on my b18 92 integra and its running like complete crap. i remember reading somewhere that i need to retard the timing and change out my plugs to ngk 7's? or something like that, anyone got the part # for the spark plugs and what should i retard my timing to? i got the timing gun i jus need to kno what to change it to. anyone who knows i'd appreciate it... thanks

need more info on your setup:


what management?
and what other mods do u have?

--------------------------
off the top of my head i would guess, gapping the spark plugs.

okay lemme rephrase that, i know its on here somewhere but i don't remember where i saw it? tried lookin a few times then decided to post hoping someone would try to help me out but instead i get flamed by a cool guy... sorry im not cool enough for help.? lmao

anyway all i have is vortech fmu, stock injectors, stock fuel pump. i dont exactly know how much im boosting at the moment cuz it runs like crap. boggs out all through first gear if i floor it before 5k rpm. pulls okay 2nd and 3rd gear and starts to die out mid 4th gear. a friend told me to fix the timing and change plugs but dunno what timing to set it to or plugs to use... help anyone.

you don't know how much boost you are running and you have a FMU with stock injectors setup :-X, what if you are running 10+ PSI????????????

buy a SAFC, or VAFC......you can use it to read how much boost you running, AND as a management with bigger injectors.


problem solved

exactly my point... tried it and i never get 1 freakin!!!!!!!! thing near what im looking for, safc i do have sir but the new digital one i dont have. its the original safc with the little knobs for each area of rpm. u can adjust air and fuel but not digitally... +1 or -1 air to fuel ratio near the specific rpm.


any suggestions?
