    Blow thru timing...

    Curious to hear what a few guys have used to control timing in s pinto blow they turbo setup. I'm toying with using megajolt as its good value but never used it to retard timing before. Is this doable? Cheers

    the thing is to retard timing you simply use less advance, so as long as you have a map sensor and boost correction tables its easy

    What Graham said, you will have to use the MAP sensor version as opposed to the more commonly used TPS version. effectively you are mapping your ignition in 3D, RPM against manifold pressure against ignition advance. Megajolt is quite easy to set up and use, there may even be a suitable map to adapt on the autosport labs website.

    You could also buy a suitable module for the distributor and use the standard setup.

    Cheers guys. Yeah I've used megajolt for a na setup and for the price, you can't knock it. I want to use that as apposed to something dizzy specific because I'll eventually be swapping it out for a different engine. Brilliant. Cheers lads!
