hey guys, like the title states i will be installing a ctr intake cam in my gsr soon and would like to know what should i set my ignition timing at before i get it tuned? its my dd and will probably have to drive it a couple weeks before i get a chance to tune it. other breathing mods are a blox v-stack and filter, skunk2 pro series intake manifold, hytech replica header, and 2.5" skunk2 exhaust and test pipe.
so should the timing be fine at 16* or should i retard it a couple degrees to be safe. TIA

 

Shouldn't be fooling with your dizzy unless your setting it back to stock specs..


16~18* should be fine advance it alittle if you'd like or keep it at 16, make sure your jumping the ecu while your doing..

 

well i had it set advanced at about 18-20* and i set it back to stock (which i believe is 16*, right?) yesterday so i was needing to know if thats ok or should i retard it some, thanks btw.

 

Not a problem.. Trust me... 16 is fine.. you can never go wrong with stock.

 

i forgot to mention im running on a virgin p30 ecu at the moment also. will that effect anything? i believe the fuel maps are different and maybe a little more lean which is another reason i am wondering about the timing.

 

p30 ecu is made for a single stage manifold, which i'm hoping you swapped over to from the original GSR manifold.. other then that, you might run a tad bit leaner considering the p30 is made a for a 1.6 liter and not a 1.8 liter.. but it shouldn't be that much.. Invest in a tuneable ecu setup you'll gain alot more then you would just throwing parts into the mix.

 

oh yeah, i swapped the old stock manifold for a skunk2 pro series and hondata gasket already

i cant afford $1000 for a dyno tune right now so i was going to have my tuner run a type r base map and street tune it from there to get me by.
what about a vafc?

 

$1000 dollars??? for a tune?? on your current setup???? man, shop around that's way more than it should be. Go with stock tuning until you get it tuned, then see what the motor likes.

well its alittle over $500 for the hondata and about $80 a pass......

 

can anyone tell me where to get hondata for a decent price?
