a 2deg timing advance
im new to the forums, but i was just wondering if any of you guys ever heard about a 2deg timing advance. I have a friend that went to the dealer and got this program installed into his nissan frontier, and said that it runs really good with more power to the wheels. I just dont know if this will work to my 2007 350z. Anyone with more info, get back at me.
just found this online:
just be careful:
but 2 degrees is generally safe.
Advanced timing: If the ignition timing on a car is advanced (to a certain degree), slightly more power is made because the air/fuel mixture is given time to fully combust and to allow the plug spark to travel. When the air/fuel mixture completes combustion, there is enough power created to slam the piston downward.
Over-advanced timing: If an improper grade of fuel is used combined with an over-advanced timing setting, the effects of detonation can damage the engine. Detonation is when the air/fuel mixture combusts too early or too quickly during the compression stroke. The flame front collides with the upward-stroking piston. Pressure in the cylinder becomes increasingly high. Temperature rises to extremely dangerous levels. This results in engine damage.
