Revived old thread and my post so thought I'd update. Firstly i will retard timing a couple of degrees and play around with the boost controller. Car runs and preforms very well just need more torque to pull some lower 1/4 mile times. Think I may need to look closer at my exhaust system and possibly change the splitter to a larger size. Managed max of 246whp but was hoping for around 260. may be better to build slower than surging. Recomened I crank back base timing to 10deg (or lower) and increase my spool up time on the EBC which may give me more power. Technician wasn't happy pushing as he measured detonation at top of my power band. Max boost I can deliver is 14psi until the power drops away. A/F ratios dropped off the chart it was running so rich. Long and short of the dyno result was that when I just start making decent power I run into an over-fueling issue and the power drops right off. Well I'm back from the dyno and extended road trip. Well my dumb ass didnt think about it.setting the gun to 10* means it will blink at 10* not 0*.and im looking for 10* on the crank pulley.anyone know what 10* on the gun+10* on the crank is? well its not 10* advanced like it should be set to.i know why my mr2 is blown up now.20* probably isnt a great idea. thinking oh itll be easier, set it to 10* and watch it and set it just like before and youre good just like before. Well before my mr2 swap i figured id spring for the adjustable timing gun. fixed light, turn it on, watch the crank or the flywheel through the peep hole find the 10* on it. Ive been accustomed to the fixed timing light all my life. Well i think my stomach is down in china. You know those times when you see something and it gives you the "oh shit" realization accompanied by a stomach drop down to the floor feeling? i run 14deg advanced on my turbo w/ no knock issues Much more accurate, esp when u only need a degree or 2 more advance to start detonating all over the place. Instead of eye-balling 12-14deg on the crank pulley while flashing at zero (fixed gun) if you set the advance-equipped gun to 12, 13 or 14deg BTDC then you're looking for dead 0 on the crank. No i disagree^ using a timing advance gun is more accurate than a regular old gun w/o an advance dial.
