ok TMS, few things you may want to change! and feel free to delete this whole thread after !

Timing - 15*BTDC(DE) 10*BTDC(DET)

its 15*btdc on the DET motor as well, per my FSM

everything else is correct i thinkoh ive heard the pick up loop for timming isnt always that accurate and is best to make a pick up lead from a plug wire and take a reading off coil # 1, this true?

straight out of the Nissan FSM on my desk. I used the S13 silvia one, which one do you have?

[slw240sx]

igntion timming 15* +,- . B.T.D.C

EF & EC-22, of my nissan 200sx, FSM s13 version. internet Downloaded think its european! but everyone else agrees its 15* and i was recomended to run 20* but i like it at 16-17*

BTW: here's the FAQ that I put together, if you want to rip some **** from it, Iunno, you probably have all this info:

European cars have different four-port intakes, that could account for the difference.

[slw240sx]

eh, then im running to much timming?

[slw240sx]

what symptoms could that cause?

[themadscientist]

Your det sensor would catch you. I ran 20 degrees on my RB20s without incident, you should be fine.

i dont have a functional DEt senor lol! i need to make a trip to nissan soon

Maybe there should be a sticky about the differrence between J-spec and Euro models also.For example idle speed for the Euro model is also differrent (850rpm +-50rpm). These little things can cause confusion, because as far as i know the only downloadable FSM's on the net are for the Euro model(4 intake runners), and if people refer to them although they have a J.spec engine a few datas(timing,idle speed,etc) are not correct.

could i be loosing power due to running 15* or more timming over the jap factory 10*??

BOOST BOY HELP ! they are confusing me and filling my head with doubt!

[themadscientist]

no I don't think you are in danger or losing power because of timing.
