Retarding timing
I currently have a MAC timing gun and I am not able to get the gun to show me the amount of timing that I am retarding it. Is it possible the gun only shoots timing advance. I know this is fairly easy to do just pissed that such a simple thing is giving me trouble. So i guess my questions is do i need a different gun to show me the retard value. The gun i have will only alllow me to puch timing up.
Thanks
Steve
This is for a b20/ vtec build w/ high boost i was planning on kicking the timing back about 19-21 degrees retarded (Running 9-1 comp)

Re: Retarding timing (spoolingb20)
why are you retarding the timing like that? Thats what proper engine management is for. to adjust the fuel / timing once you're in boost
regardless... does your timing gun have a dial on it? if it does then you should be able to advance or retard it
did you jump the service connector while adjusting the timing?

Re: Retarding timing (DJ Gurgla GSR)
The car wasnt tuned by myself , i just recently put new pistons in it. So I should contact the tuner to see what he set the base timing at or do you know about what it should of been at? Tuned on Hondata s200 @ 17lbs
And yes I was jumping the service connector

If its tuned with hondata then contact your tuner. Chances are he used the stock ignition timing (not sure what that is on a b20). In which case, you should do the same.

Usually the timing is set at 16 degrees...that way its sync with the program or engine management....Then u use the program to retard the timing where needed...
