Ok so I absolutely know nothing about timing and how to tune an EMS but Im going to be taking on tuning my own v6 here shortly
Including having to write a base map so that the little bastard will start. I know A/F ratio's well and where I want to be and a bit about getting myself there. I dont think I'll have a problem with that. What I would like in this thread is some great basics and understanding of timing and what needs to be done at certain VE/load cells. What kind of timing is a typical max timing on a Toyota V6? Where does that need to be, at max torque?
Another thing Im trying to understand is which way is advancing and which way is retarding. Base timing is 10* BTDC so does that mean that 12* is advancing 2* because its happening sooner? Can somebody please post up useful info. on tuning for timing(like "when you xxxxxx timing, the turbo will spool quicker but EGT's will raise/lower, etc....) Also maybe post up a view of what a typical timing map looks like. Thanks
