S13 KA24DE Timing

Post by **ArticDragon192** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 9:09 am

I know the stock timing should be set at 20° +/-2° but I wanted to know what would be best for performance. The +2° or the -2° and if I went that route if I would have to up my octane since I run 87 octane. Thanks for the info.

Knock it forward to ~22-23 BTDC ... and then you will need to use premium fuel.

Set the base timing with your TPS unplugged, idle at ~700rpm, warm motor...setting it without those conditions met and it'll be wrong.

The KA runs just fine on 87 arco gas. No knocking at any point and running strong. Plus it's a stock KA so I don't see a need for running anythign higher and more expensive than 87. So basically anything over 20° would need better octane. K, i'll keep that in mind,
