Ignition Timing + Boost? What should I set my Distributor at?

[quote=“Toda Party,post:2,topic:34033"”]

I think you should turn the boost down till you figure out what you’re doing lol

First of all, if your ECU isn’t mapped till 18psi, then it will take values from the last “column” (say max is 14 psi)… so you’d be using fuel and timing timing values for 14 psi @ 18psi.

Adjusting the dist. can help, but then you are retarding ign for everything else, which will raise EGT, stress ur cooling system, and make the car a dog.

Using the dist to try and “tune” ign for a boosted car is just not a good solution.
