setup: 2000 ITR with drag 3 kit..wast gate set at .3 bar (4.35) psi...just wanted comments from you that retarded your timming or left it at stock settings.
Good or bad??

 

I would like to know how to retard timing.....

 

leave it stock or retard the timing no more than 2 degrees.

 

first get a timming light at set it at stock settings ie mines at 16 for ITR...then unbolt the distibitor cap. start the car and set the timming gun to 10 (since mine was 16..minus 5=10) then see if the markers line up with the factory mark..fug just get somebody to show u..but twsit towards front of car to retard..back of car to advance

 

When you say "don't retard it more than 2 degrees" do you mean 2 degrees absolute retard, or two degrees subtracted from the 16 advance (ie. total advance of 14 degrees)? Is there a way to accurately do this with just a regular timing light, one without a ****?

 

wanna advance my timing Mark?

Stock timeing marks(on the crank pulley) are stock, +2 and -2, so if you wanted to retard 2 degrees, it would be one of the marks on the crank pulley(The one closest to the TDC mark).

B18C timing marks:

 

Art why did you do that? don't you let Hondata retard in boost only? I leave my distributor advance at stock of 16. I run 0.75 retard per pound of boost and will likely lower that to 0.5. That means at 10psi I will be 5deg retard vs stock (which is about 21 deg total advance at 10psi and 7000rpm.

 

This was before I had hondata. Sorry I didnt state that.
