How do I retard timing
I want to retard the timing for a notrous shot. Whats is the best way to do this? Will an MSD ignition work? I ahve my concerns since it only works ont he leading plugs.

Any thoughts on how to retard the timing w/o using a stand alone ecu?

most would not put nitrous on an FD, you should read up on that first, IMO

nicely put? the stock ecu SUCKS, you shouldn't be running high HP w/ the stock ecu, it's just not safe practice

you can get the digital 6 plus ignition box and use its boost/nitrous retard setting. . . but im with the others. . . not a good idea without a standalone EMS.

oh and Iw as wondering, why is it such a bad idea without a standalone?
|
get a standalone, and then you'll realize it's a whole diff world, and that you don't know how you lived w/ stock ECU and piggy backs
or at least that was the case with me and from what i can see, many others |
let em do what he wants.
we all know its not a good idea.... |

how bout NO... scott... LOL. :D
how about you explain why you *seem* to be waiting for a different answer? what make you feel that the stock ecu CAN handle it? is it because you can get it *cheap* at the moment? is that what you want to hear... that it WILL work and that its the perfect way to do it? how much can you get a reman motor for? or can you rebuild it yourself? just curious.... |
when retarding rotary ignition for boost or nitrous. . . you are gonna retard leading ignition only if you dont know what youre doing. . . meaning youll run into negative split. . . then on top of that youll be using a "stupid" device to retard your ignition. it doesnt know what the engine really needs so it could be incorrect. . . i dont trust something that stupid to control my car. . . that i spent 20k+ on. . . make sense?

If I was sure that it would work; why would I ask? If we can all figure out everything by ourselves w/o making mistakes then whats the point of the forum? |
Its your engine and its your car, do what you want to it. Just don't blame us when the big bang happens.
