#13258, "retard elementary"


          

hey, that heading sounds funny now that I think about it...

anyway, I've been searching for this info on the net and all I keep finding is junk, so maybe you guys and gals can help me out

what is the purpose of "retard" when boosting? This means retarding the ignition, yea? How does it work?

Thanks - I wanna get all these concepts down before I turbo

Wouldn't it be further into the combustion stroke?

No, its compression stroke. Combustion is after the spark has went off.
