Im considering putting and aem fic computer on my rb25det with 550 injectors and a precision gt4067 bb turbo. I want to increase response by advancing the ignition timing from the cam angle sensor, as the aem fic only allows you to retard timing.

My plan is to advance base timing to about 20 degrees off boost as the turbo is expected to start spooling around 3800 rmp with full boost around 5000 rpm. Im hoping that the off boost timing will help with response and power. oh and i also have methanol injection!

does anyone see a problem with this plan, or any other suggestion that doesnt include buying a power fc!

Your gonna wanna trust this aem fic computer, It's got the very well being of your motor in it's grasp. Not worth taking the risk man, Do what most people have proven and use a decent fuel/ignition timing ecu, smaller turbo setup. The 25 isn't bad off boost anyway.

the thing is i intend to run about 14 psi on pump gas with methanol, the turbo should be good for about 375 rwhp at that boost level, i plan to purchase an aem ems later when i switch to forged pistons to run more boost, its just not in the budget right now.

my question is in theory, will may plan with regards to advancing timing from the cas and pulling it back from the aem fic work

the methanol injection is also the reason i need to advance the timing to see any benefits from the methanol

the following is a link to info on aem's fic

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
