Matty B Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Howdy all, as the title says... I am in the process of supercharging my EJ22 and am trying to figure out the timing. I have a distributor on this system and re-curving is my next ting on the list to do. What does it do on a turbo motor, advnce or retard?

Phizinza Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Well, I know that you can't run turbo engines too far advanced as they pre detornate. So I'm guessing the advance stuff doesn't do much or anything on a boosted engine. This is really a question for my bro, as he is the one with a turbo, but no subie so his not on this board.

TheSubaruJunkie Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I'd like to know how you got a distributor to run on the EJ22. Got any pix? -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty B Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 No worries. Now Junkie- what does it do, advance or retard under BOost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffast Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 no way how hard was that fabrication or kit are you sure that is an ej22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 YEah are we sure thats a EJ22? Thats a pretty wicked setup. How do you have the fuel injection setup? I think the turbo retards the timing but i could be wrong. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Ok i believe you its a EJ22... but how did you find a disty setup for it. Man that'd be awesome! And I think the knock sensor is what retards the timing. I dont think the subaru automaticly adjusts timing in relation to boost. But if the knock sensor feels a knock, it'll do it. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostedBalls Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Cool setup- Also- You can run an outboard engine distributor on just about any engine. They are mostly belt-driven. Just slap on an extra cam pully to it and drive it off the timing belt. But you know that most aftermarket ignition systems can be triggered by a magnetic pickup, I see no reason to add extra weight to the engine. Takes up space too.

D-Cal Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 It should retard under boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty B Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 Its a distributor from a Subaru fiori (sherpa?) which was installed into the blank on the rear of the drivers side head (Pass side in US). It runs off a cam gear. I have a pure LPG fuel system to allow me a nice icy cold air/fuel mix to compress to 6psi! Fuel injection is disconnected. It hauls rump roast now, but with AWD, big tyres and towing a 14' boat it could always do with some more horsepower. 1GG Toyota supercharger @ 6psi should help that.
