Ignition timing map

I am looking for a little help regarding a timing map for my 1.9turbo engine.
Camshaft has almost identical opening and closing events to Newman solid cam. (276 duration .440" lift)
Compression Ratio 8.0:1
93 octane fuel
I know that the cvh combustion chamber is not the greatest as far a efficient combustion.
I would like to see a few examples of ignition timing maps.
I have seen other engine examples where maximum timing was only 18 degrees at 15 psi boost. This seems like a recipe for very high exhaust temperatures.
any MS tables?
The table used for a Haltech is similar - it is a 24 x 24 map load and rpm on axis
Karlos?
Others?
Cheers

interesting i want to learn about ignition tables i know about afr, so what does the numbers mean at the side going from 25.0 to 280.0 ?

Hello Karlos
Thank you for your timing map.
What compression ratio does your engine have? I seem to remember it was less than 8:1?
It looks like your map shows 20 to 23 degrees advance between 4000 and 7000 rpm at 15 psi boost.
Have you monitored exhaust gas temperatures? Do you have a knock sensor?
Did you have to take any timing out at the engine torque peak rpm?
I have heard that is where an engine is very sensitive to ignition timing.
Cheers

another point is the base timing of your engine may have a few degrees variation, thus making the exact timing numbers non transferable

No EGT monitor, no knock sensor (mapped with Det Cans).
I gradually increased timing to the point of Det and then pulled back a couple of degree's, have no way of mapping to MBT as I dont have a Dyno.
Peak VE is where is where you will get Det and so timing is critical, unless you have a massive boost spike early in the revs of course
![Big Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
You can see where peak VE is by your fuelling table, where it needs the most fuel.
But it's still always a good idea if you are going to rob my table (or anyones) to retard 5 or so degrees before you start mapping anyway, far too many variables between engines!

differences in sensor positions, flywheel castings, crank boltholes can all ad up to a degree or two, as you said karlos, use this map as a guide to work from only, anyone got any v6 turbo ignition maps please lol

Many thanks all!
I do appreciate all the help.
Camshaft choice will also have an impact on ignition mapping.
Karlos, do you have the Newman (276 degree) solid lifter camshaft?
I will start with a map that is very similar to yours, probably start with a degree or 2
less advance to start with.

Yes mate I have the only cam shaft that Newman do for the CVH RST.
Oh very important to note!!! I mapped on 99RON fuel, on 97RON I had to pull out 4 degree's of timing to stop Det, so on 93RON your going to have to pull out even more! I would start with at least 8 degrees retarded from my map maybe even 10 to be safe, then work forward.

The octane rating over there is different to ours guys.

just had a look at mine for you and i've got 16 degrees at 320kpa's and at 100kpa as boost starts to build i run around 38 degrees dropping to the 16 but thats with a t34 on a comp of around 7.8 and my egt's never go over 800 degrees c on boost and afr never goes bellow 11.5 on full boost i don't know how to put up full table and i've broken my camera phone but if i figure a way to get it on here i will do

Hello Project RS,
I would love to see your timing map.
I also assume that everyone checks timing marks on the crankshaft pulleys
to verify TDC positioning. And verifying that an ignition map set to 36 degrees advance
at 3500 rpm does exactly that.
Cheers

Thats quite a bit more advanced than mine midrange, I guess because of your lower compression ratio, although saying that I have not tried that much advance to see if I get Det, might be worth a play!
Do you know why your overrun at 0 deg, do you have a massive fuel cut?

as above karlos makes it pop and bang when ever you lift of the throttle and i also run the fuel saving on the ecu so it also cuts fuel when i'm slowing down or off the throttle
