I've advanced my timing, but I'm not sure what it's set to. There's 5 marks to read off, and I assumed they were 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20. My mechanic advanced the timing by ear, and their was no detonation or attempt at comphensation by the ECU. When trying to check it with the timing light it looked like it was up around 25?! However the car ran beautifully... But just to be safe we pulled it back to around 19. I might have another play with it sometime and see if I can figure out what's going on...

jasestu can you go to SE-R.net and go to site map on the left then all the way down to info, which has the heading "about ignition timing". On there is a graph or picture of how what the different lines mean that are on the belt. I am wondering if they are the same as whats on your car because that means yours is probably set to about 15 degrees which is about what i would think is safe running 96 or even 98 octane petrol.

I would really greatly apreciate this as i'm trying to find the trade off for safe running while at its maximum power.

Also do U know what it was set to standard, did you notice a difference and was it a big difference??? Sorry for lumping this all on you but this is the next Mod i want to do but i always like to research it thoroughly before messing with things that mess big time with the computer.:flash:
