i dont have a timing light right now, so are there any downsides to running at fully advanced?

other than it running like ****, you run a much higher risk of detonation

detonation? on a stock motor that will hardly happen, so can someone else reply who has had experience wiith doing this?

pdiggitydogg

ok try it then...it will probably ping if you run 87 octane

like im supposed to know what your engine condition is anyway

wrong. it can happen on ANY stock motor. even more so if you run **** gas

you'll wear out your plugs faster. but as long as you only adjust a little bit...then you'll be fine. 1-2 degree's. some people say more

but using the search wouldnt be too bad either

i already searched and there was just a ton of worthless threads........

so are you saying i would have to run 91 octane if i didnt want detonation.... im not sure if thats an acurate assumption becuase with the low compression on a STOCK d15 i dont think it would detonate.

pdiggitydogg

then try it...
you run a pretty big risk running fully advanced

you made another thread, saying to got a timing gun (dont know why that needed another thread)...just do it right and be done with it

I moved my dist. a little bit adavnced because my car was feeling sluggish when I had it directly in the center. It felt a lot better after I advanced it a little. But make sure you have it checked with a timing light. As for detonation, running 87 octane isn't bad for your d series. It's only bad if you have high compression like me (b16), I have to use 91 octane or higher or else I will get detonation.

as far as i can remember timing for a B16 is 17 +-2 degrees right?..... so when you advanced it how many degrees were u at?

I don't remember but I think stock for a b16 is 16 + or - 2 degrees. I dont think I went more than that.
