for you ssbox gurus....was there ever a ssbox for the non rev kit that had no timing maps/tables? i was told be my tuner that my ssbox had no maps for timing pop up so timing couldnt not be adjusted.

i replied to your PM.

change tuners Map B is the timing map. Inputs are made based on the number of degrees you want to retard the original timing map of the car. input field of 10 means it will retard 10 degrees off the stock timing map. very simple.

If he's still confused on how to find map B it's under MAPS and at the top of the page select MAP B instead of the fuel MAP A

but is there an ssbox that doesnt have timing maps? the tuner is highly recommended and i dont want to say names until i find out if there is a ssbox that has no timings maps...mabye they made a ssbox that just does self timing and cant be adjusted manually? was told fuel maps popped up and timing did not and they tried 3 times???



edit**

vortech answered my question...they told me every ssbox everymade has timing...so its my tuner..thanks guys...

exactly.

they label them map a and map b instead of fuel and timing (respectively).

Doesn't mean you have a bad tuner it just means he might not use ssbox R4 software often (or even at all). I didn't know that map B was the timing map for the longest time. If it wasn't for Oldman350z (tim) I wouldn't have known.

just call him and explain. He'll prob have you bring the car back in and check it out.

From what I understand, the SS box has some pretty aggressive timing!

Correct, I was just speaking about it out of the box. I had a buddy with the Vortech kit on his Z and it was a bit aggressive for pump gas.

i don't even remember what my base timing map was on that thing. I thought it was pretty choked down though. If i find my original map for the box i'll see what it was. I know it was a lot less timing then after it was tuned.

I just checked and it looks like it pulls 9 degrees of timing through the entire rpm range for 12psi (what i was running for pressure).

I don't knwo if that's good or bad. I guess it depends on what the stock timing is for those rpms.

My logs showed mid teens for timing.

I just noticed the Vortech rep in here. I have a customer who's considering going to the T-trim based on what he gets out of his car with the 3.13 pulley. Could you PM me a price for the T-trim?

it will be cheaper just to pay vortech for an upgrade rather then buying a completely NEW T trim.

Go see your tuner. Have them check your A/F ratio and make the proper adjustments.

I have another question guys : I'm running the 2.87 pulley: I never see more than 10psi. Not 11 much less 12. Any thoughts why?

You probably have really good breathing mods...the more free flowing the exhaust/cats the less psi will show up, but you'll still make great power; the less psi you need to get the power you want the better...

OR....maybe you're belt is slipping at 10psi...
