i know retarding the ignition timing will affect driveability and it will result in hotter exhaust temperature, aside from these will retarding the timing have any destructive effect on a turbocharged b16? in what way?

i'm planning to retard my timing once i put back my turbo coz i'm going to run the hack, how much timing should i take off? i've read an installation article on jrsc in sport compact car and the timing was retarded below 10 degress as per jrsc instruction and i don't know if it's a good idea. any idea?

any help will be appreciated.

 

Retarding will cause less heat if I remember. On my LS I went from 16 base timing to 13 base timing at 6.5PSI and have no issues what so ever with ping/knock

 

what engine management system are you using?

 

look into a msd btm6...........

 

but the fuel will not be burnt all the way by the time it goes though the exaust post and causes it to burn on it way though the manifold what causes more EGT temps

thats why if your ignition is to far retarted the EGT will climb and i have seen the manifold glow on some cars due to that
