RustyEp91 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Hey guysIver read about afancing the timing on the starlet and how it can increase throttle reaponse etcCan anyone point me in the right direction as to how to do this correctly?Thanks Quote
onnaj1000 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Advancing timing will gain HP, retarding will increase torque. Some say that a bit extra advancing will be better for the compete rev range, but I can't confirm this.With my Celica I felt no difference with advancing timing. When you advance too much you have the risk of detonating, so better fuel is advised Quote
GP82 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Are you thinking about adjusting it via the distributor!? If so you set it to what the manual states for your engine. Quote
mikey4410 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 its meant to be set at 10° btdc.I would put it to anything but that.jeez Quote
AdamB Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 No harm in adjusting it, but it needs to be setup properly. I know MX5's respond well to advancing the timing up to around 14 degrees from the base timing. Quote
onnaj1000 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Don't know for sure but I think the MX-5 has a knock sensor. Our 4efe don't have one.Would be interesting though to advance timing together with a corolla mani and use 98 ron fuel ;-) Quote
AdamB Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 The 4efte has a knock sensor. How well it works is another question though. Quote
