Mr ProEcu is correct and there is also a TDC mark on the balancer as well the 16 degree make normally has white paint on it to show you the correct one.You gota love Honda :thumbsup:Quote:

Why don't honda just have one mark on the crank pully?
Just confirming that the white mark is #1 TDC ?Quote:

correct me if i m wrong, if u use higher octane fuel than recommended by Honda, u MUST advance the ignition timing.....
but how come when i use ron98 i feel my car is more responsive and has more power yet i didnt adjust the ignition timing.... and when i use ron95 back, i feel the engine is noisier and heavier....
so do i still need to advance the timing when i m using the ron98 fuel cos i m going to use ron98 fuel on my car....
thanx in advance....
I heard some people said: If you use higher octane fuel, you can advance your timing a bit to get a bit of power. Is it right?
Most of you guys and girls that run the new 98 octane fuel could bump up the timing 2 degrees but unless its done on a dyno to see the results I would not recommend doing this.This will effect your AFR's because moving the timing will also effect the way the engine burns fuel.When I get a chance with the next Honda Im tuning on the dyno I will do a test and post it up to show you the effect that 2 degree's of timing has.Quote:

For Astro,
Yeah, I assume DynoDave is referring to a 2 degree increase.
For Zimp13,
You may find that 95RON fuel even with stock ignition timing is causing your engine to labour by burning less cleanly/efficiently as 98RON. Therefore, you will feel it in the seat of your pants. Advancing the timing should yield a better combustion and result in more power, as already discussed.
Personally, I use 98RON with a few mL's per litre of Toluene(this sh!t causes cancer, do not get liquid on your skin!) mixed in, to get around 103RON.
Thanks for the advise iamhappy46....Quote:

as for the Toluene, can i get this easily? at autobarn or repco or burson? i ll check it out later..... :D
I think it has a optium point of the timing. Who know? Different car use different fuel and has different compression.
For the best timing of each car, go to highest timing point that without pinking. That's my opinion. Correct me if i'm wrong.
Yes that is what I was saying take it upto 18 degree's.Quote:
