Has anyone tried advancing or retarding there cams..any benifits kool168 04-17-2005, 10:57 PM you gotta know your car is very diff. from a honda... i would say you make power by getting EM, adding/removing some fuel + adding/removing timing + add boost to make more power not some NA machine with advancing timing to make a little more power... kool168 04-17-2005, 11:00 PM may be you wanna read these: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/question229.htm http://auto.howstuffworks.com/ignition-system.htm http://auto.howstuffworks.com/camshaft.htm http://auto.howstuffworks.com/question562.htm http://auto.howstuffworks.com/turbo.htm SloRice 04-18-2005, 12:03 AM we don't have cam gears like hondas.... kool168 04-18-2005, 12:43 AM we don't have cam gears like hondas.... this is not true... we do have cam gears. but we also got AVCS to advance and retard timing. so you don't need an adjustable cam gear to adjust the timing. http://www.drive.subaru.com/Win05_WhatsInside.htm SloRice 04-18-2005, 01:14 AM sorry, let me rephrase....we don't have adjustable cam gears like hondas which you manually adjust.....we have VTEC (I mean AVCS :p ) Kingpin 04-18-2005, 04:27 AM AVCS only advances the intake cams. It does not retard timing ever. In Japan they have AVCS on the intake and exhaust but in the US so far we only get intake advancment. You can purchase adjustable cam gears to manualy adjust your cam timing from several companies including JUN. Clark Bolster 04-18-2005, 09:56 AM AVCS only advances the intake cams.

Clark Well since it can move the cams back to "non-advanced" position, wouldn't that be retarding the timing in a round-about way? gills 04-18-2005, 11:33 AM sorry, let me rephrase....we don't have adjustable cam gears like hondas which you manually adjust.....we have VTEC (I mean AVCS :p ) We don't have VTEC, we have the "i" in i-VTEC. 02Toyowrx 04-19-2005, 05:14 AM It would not be retarding, Clark (kingpin) is correct ... 0 is base timing and anything above that (+) is advanced and below 0 (-) is retraded. AVCS advances then goes back to the base timing. Does not retard the timing. + 0 - Bolster 04-19-2005, 05:37 AM It would not be retarding, Clark (kingpin) is correct ... 0 is base timing and anything above that (+) is advanced and below 0 (-) is retraded.

I do imagine at some point we'll see Dual AVCS here. |
