jmakado said:many people are misinformed about the whole timing advance thing. yes, more advance will give you more power....however, above a certain number, say 23*, the STOCK ecu will move to a "cruising map" for fuel and you can acctually lose power. if you have a standalone or dsmlink where YOU are manipulating the timing, then it's a different story. so yes, more advance=more power. but only to a point.
no 20g wheel unless someone sold me a FP sleeper 16g![]()
i will try to find some other threads on the larger injector-timing advance relationship.....also, still waiting on dave to post up the dyno sheets at rmdsm.
Looks like I missed this the first time this thread came around, for once I am glad someone dug it up.
Simply put, you're a little bit off here. Yes, using bigger injectors with a SAFC will very much effect the fuel enrichment value, which can cause the car to get leaner, etc.
HOWEVER, it's not really the way you have suggested. First of all, the fuel is in no way dependant on the timing advance level. Just because two things happen concurrently, does not mean that they are dependant on one another. The reason that X fuel change may happen at Y timing advance is simply because the fuel enrichment value and the timing advance value both depend on the same stored information within the ECU.
In addition, there is no "cruising map" that the car is just going to switch to; the enrichment value simply decreases (AFR gets leaner) as the load decreases, when you use a SAFC you are decreasing the load that the ECU thinks you are putting on the motor.


my bad!
