Does advancing the timing give you more low end or more high end?
I'm really needing a little more low end power and i was wondering whether it was advancing or retarding that gives more low end

Well I did it but I was only able to advance it about 4-5 degrees from stock. Does that sound about right? I turned it as far to the firewall as i could and I got no pinging and I think I feel a little more low end power

Wrong.
You will gain across the entire powerband, but I felt more in the lowend than anything else.
And no, 4 degrees advanced it not that much. The manual has 2 degrees of leeway, so you're really only 2 degrees over spec.
My buddy ran around for months in his H23 w/ the dizzy fully advanced. Don't recommend it, but it can be done.

Proper way = use a timing gun
Afro-engineering way = mark a line across the head and the dizzy, where they join. Rotate towards the firewall; each millimeter of rotation is roughly a degree of advance.

Wrong. You actually can lose power up top. I've seen it on the dyno with my own car and others.

Well that is not the norm. I have personally seen a stockish H23 Prelude dyno higher on the topend after advancing the timing.

Re: (LudeyKrus)
Uhhh, if you guys are gonna do this, make sure you bridge the service connector or your ECU will compensate and go back to default....
I am detonating with timing set at 15 degrees BTDC with a JDM H22 and 93 octane fuel....Be very careful, you may even need to get a set of colder plugs to get rid of detonation...

Denso Iridium
On OBD 2 you can't adjust the timing according to HELM manual. It says check the timing at the flywheel, if it is not within the specs, replace ECU, nothing you can do.
