4g63 NT timing advance, worth trying?

[HighPSI TSi Guy]

anyone here played with timing advance on their NT 4g63? if so, how much did you advance timing? how much power you think you got out of it? noticeable? just curious for anything little and free to give my beater a bit more punch...

Water injection usually lets you goose up the timing a bit. It doesn't take very much.

Wouldn't you need a dyno see actually see what you were doing?



Dave, you ever sell your 93?

No go on the racing yet. I'm not very good at stick, not the launching part at least. I can shift quickly but that doesn't help if the other guy is 1/2 mile down the road already. And yep, I'm the VP of the club, can you believe that crap? Hahahahaha Hope the 93 gets sold quickly for ya man.

Im new to this side, tuning is not my thing, I'd like to get some more information on timing advance. How can it be done, benefits/drawbacks?

I was going to advance the timing on my car, but b/c it turned out so horrible due to some mis-selected parts I am not even going to bother.

According to prostreetonline:

Advancing Intake and Exhaust : This will provide the car with more bottom end power, and will decrease top end. Advancing both cam gears will move overlap earlier but will not increase it.

Retarding Intake and Exhaust : This will increase the cars top end, but will decrease low end. Retarding both cam gears will move the overlap later and but will not change the amount of overlap.

Advance Exhaust Only : This will help the cars top end, and it reduces overlap.

Retard Exhaust only : This will help the cars mid range power, very useful for cars with big turbos / big cams. By increasing overlap, It decreases lag significantly. Doing this will bring the boost on all at once. Very common DSM modification.

Advance Intake only : This will increase overlap and helps the cars bottom end and mid range power. This mod will bring the turbo on all at once, although isnt a very common mod for DSMS.

However I dont know how this would differ for a N/T engine. Anyone have an idea? it would be good to know for the new project.

I think he was talking about ignition timing...
