Advancing timing

firestoned · Postby **firestoned** » Mon Jan 28, 2008 9:14

On my 6i, there was a free lil mod that you could do to advance the timing +1 or +2 degrees by loosening 2 bolts under the passenger front of the engine, move the black bracket down, and the timing is advanced. I know that may be a bit generalized, but those of you who have done it know what im talking about. Does anybody know if this can be done to the speeds? Wanted to know before jacking up the car myself and giving it a try

Firestoned I would post that over on Mazda6club and see if you can get that answer I'm not sure unfortunately.

I do know what your talking about. It works on the 2.3 3's as well for obvious reasons. But like Josh i don’t know if it would on the ms6/ms3.

Better be careful advancing the timing on a turbo car....Too much and you will have serious detonation problems.

i thought the results with this mod were inconclusive...in regards to enhancing performance....I opted to not do this as I didn't think it would
be worth the effort.

I did it on both the 3 and 5... they both are a bit spunkier off of the line- MPG on the 5 went up, the 3 went down... d'oh! It's an easy mod- yes Guido, you can do it. If you don't like it, it can be easily reversed...

Thanks CPR!

At high altitude we can get away with a couple extra degrees of timing advance on a normally aspirated engine. Once you add the turbo, you're playing with fire....literally. And Josh , I KNOW that was a funny about just going until the knock light...LOL!

I did it on my 6i as well. Easy to do, and never noticed anything different, to be honest, but I left it.

the changes on my 6i were minimally noticeable, thought maybe a bit more would be noticed on the turbo, still havent found a good answer on 6club either..
