Nismo Intake / Banks exhaust / 3 Degree

[Stugots]

I need some feedback...I'm still in the break in period, but getting the itch to start modding!!!!!! The dealer wants to set me up with a Banks Monster / Nismo intake and 3 degree timing advance....the dealership said all of the work would be warrantied....most of what I've read...you guys are only doing a 2 degree timing advance....what are my pros/cons.....this guy is telling me that my truck would absolutely fly....sounds all most to good to pass up. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

That's a good combo. I myself have the AEM/Banks combo. I thought the consult only allow for +-2 degree adjustment at idle?

thats what i thought too but i have seen a couple post lately about going up to +5. I don't know who is right though.

advancing the timing depends on the starting point from what i've read, i think; so more than likely, we all end up at the same degree. yes??

+2 is the limit of what will stick in the ECU. +5 is only temporary for test purposes. I saw a post where somebody may have mistakenly thought they could get +5 and quickly questioned it. His post was a bit ambiguous. Others were going to try it when they got back to work as they were Nissan Techs. This is where the rumor started.

Shailey confirmed what I already thought, +2 is the limit. UpRev Cipher shows similiar numbers, but only goes to +2 actual advance. Most Titans have a factory base advance of +15 BTDC, and get adjusted to an advance of +17 BTDC.

Although advanceing gives more power, it has a natural limit.

Dyno Test of the + 2 showed gains of 6-8 HP and 10 lb/ft of TQ Net Results.

Any +5 rumor is now declared dead.

So, back to my original question postwhores I guess the limit would 2 degree timing advance....and I should tell the service dude to only go 2 degrees not 3...correct?

[markislive78]

get the 8 degree w/JBA and Volant!

[QShip]

You ain't right man! You know you have to get the 6 speed manual tranny when you get the 8 degree advance. It's part of the package.

my bad man...I forgot about the prerequisites..lol!
