I used a 6BTM on my prior setup (T3, LS, FMU setup)

It worked fine, but would sometimes get strange noises when I upped the boost too much. I assumed it was just bad tuning at the time, but wanted to get other opinions from actual owners of the BTM unit.

What are your experiences ? Did it work to your satisfaction ? Does it retard timing quickly enuff to avoid detonation ?

I intend to run a BTM, AFC setup till hondata, and want the advantage of advanced timing b4 boost, but don't want to blow the motor on my D16 before I have a block read to swap.

i've been using my BTM for about 15k miles now with no problem at all. it should react instantly with boost unless you have a bad unit. just hook it up to a pump or some source of boost at idle and use a timing gun to see if it retard timing.

 

I don't think it's not retarding (wasn't), but just curious. Anyother users ?

whenever i adjusted mine at all, i got detonation, so it sits on zero, useless under my seat

 

the easy way to test it is to turn it to max(3deg) and run the car at full boost, there should be a lost of power.

 

I've run the BTM at about 2-2.5 and slight ignition advance and when I had hit full boost, I got a popping sort of (not detonation), more like plugs not firing....
