advanced timing
is it a good idea to advance the timing in my car? how much more HP does it really make? i know im gonna have to use 91 or higher octane fuel if i advance the timing. is it even worth it to advance it?

Re: advanced timing
can I ask you this? Why is your nickname boosted and you have a turbo timer and no turbo? If you had a turbo, you should have your timing bumped up already.
To answer your question, it won't give you a whole lot of power but you will notice better throttle response. You will want to run atleast 91 ( you should be already if you are boosted.)

you know how many times i get asked that question. I just choose that name because im in love with the RSX and hope to have one within 2 years and will plan on boost n it.
and bout the turbo timer, i just got it for a really cheap price (20 bucks) and just installed it in my car. no harm in have n a turbo timer in a non turbo car right! so it wont give me noticable power if i advance the timing. so i should scratch that idea right?

Re: advanced timing
I wouldnt scrtach the idea. Its so easy to do, you may as well do it. I did it and like I said, I noticed a bit better throttle response. Every little bit helps in my opinion.

Re: advanced timing
Just make sure you have a light.
1. loosen up all the distributor bolts with a 12 mm wrench. dont take them out. 2. turn the distributor towards the firewall untill you get to about 3 degrees 3. tighten it back up and your done. I wouldnt go anymore than 3 degrees. It's very easy.
