X3 Timing Settings?

[ba brett]

Hi there people, I have a ba xr6t, exhaust, bigger inter cooler and injectors on it.

I have got a x3 flash tuner to have a bit of a play with it.

so far I have only gone from

0 to 4 on the global spark (what the hell is global spark?)

0 to 6 0 - 2000 rpm timing

0 to 2 2000 - 4000 rpm timing

0 to 2 4000 - 8000 rpm timing

rev limit from 6200 down to 5900 in gear ( I rarely sees about 3200 in its daily drive)

rev limit from 6200 down to 3000 in neutral

up'd the idle to 750 in gear and drive

added 2% more fuel at wot

this is all changed on the 8 psi tune. im going to run it for a week or so then have a look at the plugs. it has given it a huge kick in the butt, hands down better than the 10 psi gen tune and a even bigger step over the stock tune the car had.

before people start up, yes I know you will all say "take it to a tuner" but some comments from people with what they have done right and wrong would be welcome. I have had a search but can't find anything (im not the best with computers but know a little about setting up carby engines). it will go to the tuner some time early next year when funds allow. fuel econ is down to 11- 12l per 100 on the hwy from 13-14 per 100 so its a step in the right direction so far.

Wow put those setting back!! 10 degrees below 2000rpm and 6 extra everywhere else is way too much!!!!

set on 0 its doughy as, its like your driving a car with a stock dizzy curve and a big cam. nothing under 3000. it runs but is slow to rev. nearly stalling in gear at idle no matter where idle is set.

I think the gen 8/10 psi tunes are stupidly huge way off and im shocked they are sold as tunes.

what do you think I should run?

when I pull the plugs I'll try and get some good pics so people can see how its running.

I wouldn't touch anything without an o2 scanner and a dyno if your unsure... These engines are not forgiving.

Post up pics of plugs if you like. Plugs are easy enough to read for heat range, pinging and a bit of afr.

sh*t.
