Hi,

just wanted to know how to adjust the base timing on a RB25det in a skyline R33 gtst 1994 model. also at what degree is base timing.

i have found to much pinging at higher boost as timing is advanced to far i think. i believe u need to put the standard computer into program mode or something like that. cheers

ping otherwise, inregards to stock etc , you can reset it to make it

Huh?

This doesn't make sense. Please clarify.

98 ron fuel is better, less ping. Is it just a typo?

Are you sure its a ping? How do you know it's not a misfire? I'm going by your post, it would seem that you are using the std computer - what mods do you have?

You can adjust the timing by unscrewing the crank angle sensor, and twisting it. This is the thing on the front top end of the motor. You will need a timing light. And you will need to know what the marks on the pulleys at the bottom front mean.

If you retard the timing and it gets worse,then its probably a misfire.

If you have mods, this make a std ECU run rich, and will give you said misfire, especially on cold nights.

    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
