Ive been looking for like a month on a easy way to retard my timing:brickwall:. i found this ""If you have a Jeep with a standard transmission you can remove your crank position sensor (located on the bellhousing of the transmission) and take a small round file and elongate the holes to make it adjustable. You will want to go about 1.4" on either side of the stock holes in the sensor. This will give you about a 2-4 degree adjustment in timing."" But why would it only work on a STANDARD transmission?? I know its in the same place on a auto, well actually every vehicle. Do you guys think this would actually work? :dunno:

Why are you retarding it?

 

[Belto]

just drop it on its head, thats what my pops did with me LOL ,


seriously IDK why would you want to retard it?

I have a put a turbo on it, its still running too lean. I have larger injectors but at 9 psi it just dies out. I'm thinking if i can get a couple degrees retarded (with out dropping it on the head, Belto) it would solve alot of the problems.hopefully.

okok, you might want to PM CSaddict he just made a turbo set up

What are you running for engine management? You can use a BTM like I do to pull timing under boost. Mine is actually still too rich after bleeding off my reference line. I am going to get another FMU from the shop tomorrow.

What size injectors are you running and what are you using to scale them down?

 

[CSaddict]

P.S. I have a set of 36 lbs injectors that are like new. I bought them from southbayfuelinjector.com remanufactured. They have 10 miles on them if you are interested.

Somebody fill me in here, I was under the impression that you couldnt retard the timing on our 4.0's?

 

[CSaddict]

I talked with him over PM's. He wants to retard the timing in boost. He can use a MSD BTM like I have. He also needs something to control larger injectors and give him some control when the boost comes on.

Ok, MSD BTM, $280.00 10:1 FMU $90.00 fuel pump $126.00, The look on my girlfriends face when i sell the dog PRICLESS!!:thumbsup: ill post pics on Sunday about the current install.

 

[CSaddict]

I paid $60 for my BTM, $130 for the pump, and $25 for the FMU.

 

[PandorasBox]

Really, where? can you head me in the right direction for those prices if there anything short of bank robery? If you can id be more than happy to keep my girlfriend :bow:

 

[Belto]

good to know you dont have to drop it on its head

 

[CSaddict]

I work at a performance shop part time fabricating turbo kits. I got the BTM out of the basement, brand new in the box. The FMU I got on a Honda website in the classified section and the pump I bought from www.xenocron.com
