Thread: Initial startup gremlins

Nice dude. glad its running good. you always want to run the correct matching components on your car. and since a 54c engine is 8.3:1 compression and your UK spec engine is 10:1 you need to be very careful with the timing since a map for a gtir is much more aggressive because of the less chance of detonation.

I´m at 15ªdeg right now... should i retard more?

Base timing is only part of the game. depends what the timing map is like. just be careful and listen for detonation.

I´m using a chipped gtir ecu, 20º stock timing, brought it back to 15ºdeg, DE stock timing, previously i had it, in n/a form at 17ºdeg...

By the only datalog i did with new injectors, it seems rich trough out... didn´t seem to hear no knock... in fact the car run great...

When i have the time i´ll do more logs...

The setup as it stands:

Td05h16g sti turbo
SAFC2 + gti-r chipped ecu
gti-r maf
STI 440cc injectors
3" exhaust and downpipe
gigantic FMIC, 2.5 piping

Any more opinions on timing????
