Well, I think there is some sort of misconception in the questions being asked here in the thread, so let me make things clear. The J&S UltraSafeguard has two functions: boost timing retard and knock retard. For boost timing retard, the amount of retard is controlled by the rate ****, and at what boost level it starts doing this is controlled by the start ****. Of course, a Hondata unit has boost timing tables, so there is no need to use this Safeguard feature. To disable it on the safeguard, you turn the start **** all the way up (so it never starts) and the rate **** all the way down (so there is no boost/timing value). These **** settings do not affect the Safeguard's knock retard function. Unless the Safeguard hears knock on the knock sensor signal wire, it will pass whatever ignition signal generated by your ecu (stock ecu, Hondata, whatever) unmolested.</TD></TR></TABLE>
damn bro thanks for that! I had no idea that there were two functions.. that is what i was getting confused on, so thanks for clearing that up.
let me ask you one more question....
I live in MN where in the summer it normally is about 75 to 90, but in the winter it normally goes down to 20 to -15......
if you have your setup tunned conservatively with hondata in the summer time would i get any problems come winter with having it re-tunned?
---can i just use the S&J system as a cheap fall back method of tunning to climate changes?
