Timing Advance

[Denchy]

:?: I was looking through some old receipts of my EK CXI civic from previous services (before I owned it) and it says "advanced timing 12degrees" what would this of achieved? does it mean I have an aftermarket cam? as it had under drive pulleys and a big induction pipe on it he may of put some money into the gizzards as well? how can i tell :?:

Wynode edit: Next time think of an appropriate title because this IS the technical section. I took the effort to update your title so please make the effort next time.

Just reffers to your ignition timing. IE give you Dizzy a bit of a turn ;)

Like the above what would the gains be on a D16Y4 engine?

not much... its tuning at its simplest.

After advancing my timing and runing 98octane I felt a slight increase in pull at low RPM.

yeah i just turned my dizzy full anticlockwise and then back about half a centimeter and thats it :)

carefully if advancing too much, make sure u run PULP cos your car could ping

Are you serious? Lets hope it doesn't PING or detonate and destroy your engine.
