Hopefully everyone knows this already but if you are going to try any of these settings, make absolutely sure you've got enough fuel!!! Start rich and tune down. Don't automatically assume your fuel settings are going to work good with these timing settings. Your porting and turbo used will also affect how well these work on your car. Try them. Just be careful and don't automatically assume all will be instantly well when you load them in. There is always some tweaking to be done.

hey BDC im working on a HB high comp turbo setup(s4 rotors)and im close to start
the motor but i dont have a base timing,split tables,i been searching for days but there is no info about running a BP with MS,did you have any tips or ideas that are you willing to share thank Joey

Bdc could you please give me some more details on the engine that was used with the The Half-bridge port map with the advance in the 40's such as witch housings, what rotors and what front pulley?

Then i started to think maybe he had s4 housing with s4 rotors in a s5 engine with a s5 front pulley witch would make you think u are firing @45 when u are really firing @ around 35 the front pulleys are different between the s4 and s5 engines the is around about a 10 degree differance and the s5 pulley is a tad bigger (see pics)!
red pulley is a s4 silver is a s5
here is a pic of what i mean buy rotor flank the X (to give an idea) is were u would be firing on at 45 out side of the chamber!
Here are pic with the red s4 pulley set at -5 factory mark then with the silver s5 pulley installed with out moving the e-shaft see the differance!*(NOTE: each mark is 5 degrees)
10 degrees differance (give or take a degree or 2)
More Pic's
s4 housing rotor and pulley all in the below pics!
s4 @ 30 degrees advanced
s4 @ 35 degrees advanced (see the rotor flank starting to cover up the leading plug hole!)
s4 @ 40 degrees advanced (look were the flank is now)
If I am wrong about the s5 front pulley and u do have a s4 front pulley installed,
Please explain cause i don't under stand how it would run good firing out side of the chamber if it would even fire at all?FYI buy no means was any of this meant to offend you what so ever, i think it is great to have a experienced rotary tuner on the ms forum to give out pointers

Looks like I need to advance my timing 10 degrees after reading about the pulley marks. I'm currently using series 4 housings and using the Mazdatrix/Racing Beat underdrive pulley. I ended up marking the factory leading -5 degree mark on the new pulley and set it to that. I used the series 5 pulley to do this however by putting it on, moving it to the mark, taking it off, and then marking the new pulley. But that's for series 5 housings though. Looks like I've been 10 degrees off this whole time. Also, I decided to use BDC's timing map for my streetported 4-port (N/A application actually)

so twister do you think that i should change my front pulley to a S4 turbo(i have a s5 turbo installed now)to take care of this 10 degrees diference,i already subtracted 1* all around my advance and trailing settings like BDC sugested but i want to be safe before i start this motor up thanks for inputs(BDC and twister)

You're VERY right about the difference in pulleys!! This is something I ran into a few years ago by accident. I had no idea I'd mixed up the pulleys and front hubs. Having them mixed up will send your advance off about 13* too far forward or too far behind. It's therefore imperative to make sure that you keep the pulley/front hub combo together.
Mine is correct -- I used a Racing Beat pulley/hub (underdrive) unit with known-good timing marks to mark my pair. This is a common enough problem on the FC's that when I go out of town to tune cars I take a known-good combo with me incase I detect that their's is off.

Twister7, thanks for taking the pictures of the rotor in the housings. I need to take a closer look at this. The only place I'm having it fire that early is at low RPM pretty deep into vacuum. Otherwise, it will go about 40* and then forward. Based on this, I need to see if I'm firing the lead too early by accident. It does seem to run and function just fine. I'm running S5 rotor housings, btw.
I've got some driving time today while I run an errand up to Dallas and back. I'll try goofing with this and see if it makes any appreciable change by pulling a bit of adv out and see what happens.

FYI like i said i don't know if these are stock maps for sure or not!!!!
Oh ya if u are running s5 housing one need for more advance might be (Rotary engine by Kenichi Yamamoto on page 53) spark plugs installed away from the minor axis in the leading direction will reduce emissions but deteriorate the fuel consumption because the initiation of combustion in the less squishing area causes slow combustion speed! (THIS MAY CAUSE IT TO NEED MORE ADVANCE)

As far as I know, the keyway has NEVER changed on the eccentric shaft for the 13B since the 70's up until the current renesis engine. Also, as far as I know, the pulley hubs have stayed the same from 79-91. I'm only aware of the actual pulleys being different between series 4 and series 5 housings.
I just need to go find out now where I should EXACTLY mark the factory -5 degree mark on my Racing Beat pulley for series 4 housings.

When i was search a wile back i did come across a .txt file that was said to be a stock s4 n/a and a stock s4t2 timing map it was on the nopistons forum! The map if it is a stock s4t2 map did show 42.5 deg advance at 6400 to 7168 at what i think is very very light loads (off throttle like loads) and 40.4 at 3072, but because Mazda does not use a map based system I am not sure.At 42.5 about half the plug hole would be covered buy the rotor flank.Any ways here they are!
FYI like i said i don't know if these are stock maps for sure or not!!!!

I wish load was called out in those charts. I'm a bit confused looking at them. RPM we know but load can either be low at the bottom or high at the bottom. If load is low at the bottom, then the max advance timing under boost is over 40 and split is negative! If load is high at the bottom then that means 14+ degrees of advance at idle with 28 degrees of total advance up top. That makes more sense. I'd still love to know what each load point is in terms of kpa.

Let me see if I can ask this correctly:
For my setup (series 4 housings, series 5 N/A rotating assembly, Racing Beat pulley), where should I "zero" my timing on the pulley? Should I find a series 4 hub/pulley setup and set it to the factory mark, or should I set it to 0 degrees TDC on the Racing Beat pulley? I am using your timing map by the way. After reading through all this pulley and timing difference stuff between the series 4 and 5 housings, and considering a have an aftermarket RB pulley, I am a bit stumped. Can you help clarify this for me? I know my timing is definitely off, but I need to know where to exactly set it to.
