Hey forum how the hell are the greatest bunch of guys and gals this side of the world? Need some advice so I came to the experts. What I want to know is if you have a piggy back that is tuned with these mods shielded pod with cai, fmic, 3.5" turbo back exhaust with split dump, boost 10 lo and 12 hi on stock turbo and always run 100 octane fuel will advancing my ignition time give me any gains? Of course if it does I will retune when I am getting it done. Or with the piggy back tuned that means the ignition timing is already advanced? All help is appreciated and welcomed!!!!!! THANK YOU GUYS IN ADVANCE!

I asked this a while back.

Its not in the thread but I came to the conclusion to leave the base timing as standard and not touch the CAS, but rather buy a new ECU and advance the timing via the computer, hence a tune.

Thanks for the reply ppl its really appreciated. Just that my afc neo doesn't have that feature and really don't want to buy a pfc cus where I am at mod wise I am stopping and just wanted to get as much out of the ride as possible without modding any further. Rather buy a pfc for the gtr I am getting :rolleyes:. So just leave the cas alone cus for an extra 5kw might end up causing me a new engine not even 5 degrees would be safe even if i always run 100 octane fuel?

You can probably get away with it. Its just dodge doing it.

I mean you've got no way of monitoring if your motor is pinging apart from when you can hear it with your ears.

I'd sell the AFC Neo and invest that money towards a PFC. Believe me when you get it and have it tuned, you'll say that was worth it. Or alternatively buy the cheaper but effective EMU.

The tune of the AFC would probably be advancing the timing anyway, usually you cant advance it anymore or it starts to ping. As you lean out the mixtures, the timing advances, usually you cant lean it out enough, because it advances too far and detonates

      Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......

      440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Appreciate everything guys. I did go ahead and get an alignment... most of my complains are solved. Car is not perfect, but it's good enough. If I notice uneven tire wear or anything I'll just take everything back to stock.  Thanks again!

      They still have not shipped the 550cc injectors as they weren't in stock, so in theory I could ask to get the 440cc ones instead, if those work better in my scenario. They're the same price so really shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately I am not so knowledgeable in most parts of tuning so I wasn't sure what's best to choose between the two. 440cc ones are the lowest they have (not in stock, but available to buy nonetheless).
