Ignition timing for a half-bridged N/A
#1
First of all...I'm definatly not an electrical guru, I'm not completely stupid when it comes to stuff like this, but definalty not an expert!
Heres my setup:
S5 T2 4 port block
S5 N/A rotors thermal coated by JHB
T2 rotor housings with a Cermet B coating by JHB
Agressive Bridge port on the secondary ports
Streetported primary ports
RX-8 stat gears
T2 intake manifolds
RB header with a full 2.5" exhaust
Currently using stock S4 N/A fuel injectors along with all the stock S4 N/A electronics.
What should I be doing for ignition! I have read lots about people using MSD boxs ect.
I will be ordering a Megasquirt V3 next week to wire up because the stock electronics just aren't going to work. So tell me what I should get for ignition and what timing specs to set it to. I like the idea of running no timing split as well.
Thanks guys!
Joe

i'd run an msd (or equivelant) on the leading.
id start with the idle timing around 5btdc L +/- 5 degrees, and then after about 2000rpms, i'd go to about 20btdc L
start there, you're gonna end up with w.o.t. timing in the 22-26btdc range, cruise should be in the low 30's
but if you've gotta tun fuel and its a new combo, you can set it to like 20 and then fix everything else.
if it was my car id be running about 10degree split, although its not a super huge deal, na

For even more power run it with no timing split since you are running N/A.
The MSD will definitely do it some good. Remember Bridges like fuel so it might be time to upgrade that side too. That will also give you a slight edge on being able to tune it for now.
