Timing on a 3SGE

[WindeX]

I have a 3SGE which I have just got running again, I have a wolf 3d as the ecu and want to set up my timing(as all the previous values were fucked). I have read almost all posts on here about timing and have head different things about timing, that its better to fiddle with the timing at 3k rpm rather than idle. Also what sort of advance should I be running for 98 oct? At the moment it is at around +18 I think, no pinging in the lower revs, havent really opened her up yet due to being in a garage at 10 at night, is this going to work? I have looked at the map aswell and it advances a fair bit at about 3000 rpm I think this might be an issue for it, but I shall see.

Any tips welcome.

Im not sure how much help this will be.

I have a 3SGE gen 2, running on get 1 gear/computer.

It pings at lower revs, and only under slight throttle on 10 Degress running 98 octane. I have played with the timing before and found that at 10 degrees is the best that it will run with minimal pinging. Remember to short out some of the pins on the Diagnostic port before setting timing. I forgot to do this once, and the car was running what I thought was 10, but turned out to be more like 17 degrees.

I have a Jaycar fuel adjuster to install to correct this, and hopefully it will fix all the problems.

+18 seems like a LOT of advance, hopefully one of the other 162 fellas will pipe in with what they are running

I have a Microtech in my 3sge (gen1) and run at 22 degree timing. (98ron fuel). Tuned through dyno, and no pings. hop it helps....
