1.5/1.6 SOHC Turbo guys...I need help setting timing!
What degree should i set my timing at on my sohc del sol to obtain optimum performance. The head, ecu, and cam are stock. Im running 7-8psi and have a msd btm. Whats the best way to go. Stock timing with a little retard on ignition? Retard both?

timing in the diszzy works and I'd go to 8degrees if its untuned....little sluggish but shouldn't detonate.

Exactly.
Im not sure where that 8 degrees came from but i think he should be banned from F/I
But in all seriousness 3 is DEF. more than enough.
With the MSD i'd just do maybe a little under 1 degree per lb and leave the dizzy stock. That's what the MSD is for.

yeah don;t mess with the dizzy, 3/4 degree per pound worked great for me.
also your engine timming is different that your ignition timming. only reason u should need to adjust engine timming is for aftermarket cams.

Yeah i know its different.....I have the cam gear set at zero. When i set the timing, the book says 16 degrees at 750 rpm. If the rpm is not real close to that the timing will be off right?

I should be banned **** YOU!
If the car is untuned he wants to avoid detonation....specially since we don't know what ******* kind of fuel management he has or his knowledge of vehicles.
Second 8degrees is safe......USE A timing light for christ sakes. thats with my cam gear at 0

No, 8 degree's of timing retard is extreme. If anything you're only causing more excessive heat and promoting alot of backfiring with the amount of unspent fuel being dumped in the turbine.
