Default Retarding Ignition (random red?)

So does anyone know of an easy way (with out paying 1600 bucks for a new ECU) to retard the ignition.
I was looking at the ZEX site and for anything over a 55 shot you have to start retarding the ignition.

Thanx

it is recomended but you can run cooler plugs to run a larger shot of NOS! The cooler plugs 1 or 2 cooler than stock will or the ZEX plugs are what you will need it will cure what ailes you!!

Retarding is not needed if you can keep detonation down. By retarding your dropping effective cylinder pressure and negating some of the effect.

WARNING... if i was new at nitrous, and i read the first few replies.. i would easily be lead to think that i could run the stock spark plugs using a 55 shot of nitrous.. i know it didnt specifically say that, but its easy to confuse a beginner...

WARNING.. DO NOT USE STOCK SPARK PLUGS WITH ANY NITROUS SYSTEM. YOU WILL INSTANTLY FVCK UP YOUR MOTOR IF YOU DO THAT.

get some NGK spark plugs that are 1 stage colder than stock..

the number on the box of spark plugs is BKR6E-11 those are the ones you need...

the stock plugs are BKR5E-11 you see, the number 6 is one one stage COLDER than stock. and they are good for nitrous as i have already prooven. smile.gif

You could also get an MSD Ignition (DIS-2), which will allow you to retard the timing and what not!!! It's $325.00

There is no way to advance or retard our ignition timing. It is 100% ECU controled. The only way to do it would be to install a MSD DIS-2 DIGITAL or similar unit that allows you to control the spark timing.
