me and my buddy are just getting ready to boost his civic. but we know that his timing is off, should we have it dialed in beofre we boost it, and just leave the timinag at 0? or should we wait until after the install and advance/retard it?
thanks for any help.

 

i would set it at 0 before i did anything. depending on how much boost u run i dont think u will even have 2 retard the timing cause i know some people's motors run fine with it at 0 but dont quote me on anything someone else could help u better than i could but thats what i would do

 

what r u using for management

 

set the timming to stock, not 0.

Also, i think vafc's tend to advance timing as well

 

ditch that afc for something that isn't gonna advance your timing all crazy.

 

what should i use for management? i dont think i have enough experience to to chip an ecu, should i just ship it out and have it chipped? it is for a 95 civic ex
