Super Jamie Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Funny you should say that. I changed the timing in Haikals car today from +4 to +12 degrees, and it definately feels more torquey and more powerful! try setting it to 20. the car will feel like it's going to wheelstand when you take off, but you'll be lucky to get it over 105km/h flat to the floor in 4th :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitter Posted May 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 just thinking that you might have to earth out a lead or put the computer in to timing mode before you touch anything, as for changing the timing, you could do more damage than good. i'd stick with what the factory says. what other mods has the engine had.eg, cam, head work??? changing just the stactic timing won't yield much HP, but you can F**k the engine if you give it too much. the procedure for checking/adjusting my timing involves jumping a diagonostic connector and hooking a tach to 2 points. its too early right now to rememeber or look it up. I'm not just asking for myself, my friend was wondering also. he has a different car entirely, but more work done to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Jamie Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 i'd say you'll be right with 2 or 3 more degrees than stock, that's about all you need to take advantage of higher octane pump fuel anyway. i wouldn't go any further without asking someone who's done it before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
