Hello i want to set timming tomorrow and I saw this post
" Base Idle & Base Timing affect each other - IMO due to the weird ass angle we have to view the Marks from when you are squatting down & peeking thru the belts & "see" 5 BTDC you are really set at about 7 BTDC - SO when you see 2.5 BTDC it's actually about 5 IMO - I try to be in the same position/angle whenever I set mine halfway between 5 & 0 BTDC & IMO that is 5 in the real world & "seeing" 0 would be 2.5 BTDC real world IMO... BTW on my Pocketlooger I'm pulling 22 - 25 advance at WOT (Tuning guide reccommends NO LESS than 15 at WOT) & see as much as 46 degrees advance on Pocketlogger in some throttle positions - ZERO knock on 92 or 93 Octane in Winter (which of course means I could bump up Timing OR Boost) - but it runs great & I don't want to fry this old Turbo quite yet - seeing 13 PSI on POS Stock gauge. "
here is the link: https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/timing-adjustment.278448/ post #3
Does it mean that i need to set my timming to 2,5 BTDC on the harmonic balancer or 5BTDC like every one? I want to be at 5 BTDC.
And second question: When i set idle at 900 which accessories off lights,fans.... so when I turn accesories on it should fall to ex. 750, and stay or grow up to 900 ?
