I think i read that to build boost faster, you would retard timing a bit... or is it better to advance timing?

Let me clarify, i meant to say which would help the turbo spool faster?

I have my timing at stock and then retard it 1/4 degree per lb of boost.

I know for a fact advancing it would be a bad thing

 

Damn, I gotta pick up one of the E-Ram's. And to think I spent all this money on turbo

 

anyone?

 

what do you mean anyone? he answered you
do NOT ADVANCE YOUR TIMING

 

yes, you should advance vaccum timing in order to spool the turbo faster

 

its ok to advance vacuum timing, but ur not going to see any difference. If u advance timing during boost you risk detenation. what setup r u running?

 

Think about it from a scientific perspective.

What spools a turbo? A: the rapidly expanding gases caused by combustion. IE Heat and Pressure.

What do you get when you retard timing? A: Higher EGTs.

Combine those two statements, and retarding the timing should cause the turbo to spool faster comparatively to a tune that has more timing.

Whats the draw back of course? A: Power.

dude, you get higher egt's bc your fuel isn't being burnt, and it's going into the exhaust and combusting. yeah, lets all retard our timing so that we can spool our turbos faster. this one is going in my sig for sure

That is ALSO another factor in high EGTs, But non-the-less NOT the only reason.

I'm not reccomending anyone to retard timing to increase spool time...nor did I say anything that would even hint at that in my first post.

Take 2 setups. Both with a 14.7 AFR. One running 30 degrees timing, and another at 20. What is the difference in EGTs? you tell me.

 

to decrease spool time, i'd say to increase timing. Increased timing up to a point means more torque. As the cylinder is traveling down with more force and increased speed because of the increased torque, the cylinder traveling up on its ex. stroke is gonna expel gases with more force at a higher rate of speed.

Welp, I guess thats another factor... Exhaust velocity.

I'm sure every setup is going to react differently.

 

every motor reacts on the same concepts, turbo honda's are no different than turbo Fords or any other brand

 

Wow...Your cool. lol.

I was just throwing out ideas you ******* *** hole.

hehe, my g/f just called me an ******* too


i'm just pissed b/c my turbo isn't building boost and the reason why is b/c i richened it up 10% in boost and took 5% timing out in boost too. Turbo don't spool till 6k. Thats why i responed to this thread in the first place.

 

Ahh ok. So I guess advancing the timing does increase spool.
