Total Timing for Supercharger setup
I need to figure out how to set total timing with the SC on the 16v at a respectable degree under boost. Here is the equation another rennlister has been helping me with.
TOTAL TIMING
Rear distributor vaccum hose removed = 1.4 degree retard per every 1 psi of boost and I plan on running 6-7psi.
Stock timing is 22 deg, if you retard under boost means total timing will be 14 deg.
So advance total timing to 27 deg to get back around 22 under boost? Is it possible to even get the car to idle at that? All of this is to prevent knock and damage under boost. Definately going to run octane boost or drive down to the race shop for 110.
