    Paging Magnus

    Hey, if magnus or anyone else would help it would be great. As most of you know I turboed my car, and I had the engine replaced recently also, and my car is gonna be out hopefully this week. I do not want a repeat of what happened. What should I set my MSD DIS4 to when it comes to the ignition retard settings? The lowest it can start is at 4000RPM, and there are alot of degrees of retard I can set. I am going to run between 6 and 8 PSI, and I am running with an FMU. If I am missing any peices of my puzzle let me know, I plan on getting the boost timing master controls soon, but for now I want to run safe enough till I buy it. Please give me some input.

    By the way Magnus, I emailed that guy you told me to about the reprogramming, but he never got back to me, is there a better way to reach him, or is there anyone else that can reprogram my ECU?

    i emailed www.zzperformance.com and he said he can custom my pcm for $450 Also what kind fo fuel delivey do u have. IF u are not getting enghough fuel then that will cause KR whice is bad of course maybe some 28 lbs injectors and a bigger intank fuel pump to make sure u are suppling enghough fuel. Why not use one of those craning timing retard units made for superchargers and turbochargers it retards the timing more and more the more boost u build

      Hey Formulao96 i seen in a thread somewhere that you have some parts from a 3000gt vr4. My roommate is doing a tt conversion on his n/a 3000 and has everything he needs except a few oil lines for the turbos. would you happen to have any of those that you would sell?

            Well... this really depends. GTP guys with 8.5:1 compression are able to push 15'ish lbs of boost with 27+ degrees of timing depending on octain.

            So it depends on what octain you run and intake charge temps.

            Monitor with a scan tool and see if you get knock retard. If you do make sure your fuel delivery is there, you fuel pump is adequate as are your injectors.. air/fuel ratio is acceptable.. and then up the octain if its low.. If you CONTINUE to get knock retard, then start pulling timing with the DIS-4.

            If you're having a hard time pushing even 20 degrees of advance then I'd start to look at fuel delivery.. and try colder plugs.

            The lowest it can start is at 4000RPM, and there are alot of degrees of retard I can set. I am going to run between 6 and 8 PSI, and I am running with an FMU. If I am missing any peices of my puzzle let me know, I plan on getting the boost timing master controls soon, but for now I want to run safe enough till I buy it. Please give me some input.

            Hmm.. I'd e-mail him again.. He's been pretty busy lately.. I hope they can help you out. They are the only guys I know who have the capabilities to do in-depth tuning.
