would anyone here know how to advance the timing on a 98 5 spd 2.3 cl ? is it simple because on the 97 2.2 cl it is ....

 

how do you do it on a 2.2

 

somebody has got to know how to advance the timing! I don't know about slotting the mounting holes....

 

If no one answered i dont think they do... whats the benefit? Faster timing = fast acceleration? If no done correctly wouldn't that be extremely bad for the engine? Hence no one has done a DIY for it? Don't know im a noob, but thats the feeling i've gotten from that...

 

Dont bother with it unless you have serious mods, you'll most likely just end up putting in work for nothing.

 

So far i've got air intake, throttle body, extrude-honed intake manifold, (no more egr baby) ported head (Bisimoto)
4-2-1 stainless header, high flow cat, magnaflow exhaust.

I;m a noob on this sight, but have been doing custom builds for 14 years...trucks, mini-trucks, Mustang 5.0's
(lots of those!) and Hondas.
My true love, thr big H.

 

you had a couple 5.0's? those are fats my dad has had a few too.

 

pics of build please

 

on a single cam f23?

 

will do...took a bunch of photos of intake work, head work, etc.

 

I'm pretty sure you can't advance the timing by turning the distributor the way you can with other hondas. At least in my 2.2 you can't; it has to been done through the ecu. I advance mine using eCtune on a chipped P28 ecu, but that might not be the best option for you.
