300hp to 400hp upgrade
#248
I run 95RON, wanted to tune for low octane for the power level it will allow - higher octane here is a problem.
- I suspect something is wrong with the base timing - I run MS3 Basic and offsset on the ecu came out -13deg I do not know if it is true TDC... Could be the marking on the ATI are not true TDC of the engine.\ (I read that sevington showed the center mark on the ATI does not match the timing gear)
- After a few hundred km running with no boost I started tuning for boost, I noticed the boost run very linear upto 20psi @ redline.
This is the ignition map that came with the ecu:
MS3 Basic base map
I run this ignition map thinking it is very low, less then 10deg @ 200kpa...
Well, I wanted to check why the boost is so linear so I did run upto 20psi~ (linear) at redline... a few times, the afr was 11.5-12 all the time, I did not have my knock sensor earphone on :\ - no audible knock from the driver sit.
After those runs the engine start showing blow by - I believe it was hurt,
Another small thing:
My ignition setting was:
Rising edge on 99-05 Spark mode, I understand from Dimitrious that it should be Falling edge ...( it run ... what does it effect ?)
Thanks for the input guys.

Out of curiosity, do you have a log of when this happened? What were the specs for the block and head? Was it a stock vvt head? Any idea where in the range the vvt was?
Looks like this happened at 2 pistons, correct?
