First graph shows a top end power loss with a 4 deg advancer. Ivan doesn't recommend them for this motor.The graphs showing 147bhp were for a motor with Muzzy full header system, not the Full Monty. The best Full Monty results I've seen were 140bhp. Your results may vary. You feel the difference with an ignition advancer as sharper throttle response from idle to around 4k rpm. It picks up a bit quicker, that's all. No actual demonstrable gains on a dyno. Since most of us don't routinely sit with the revs above 9k rpm, so any loss/extra vibes that high up the rev range aren't a factor.DIY advancer option here: http://www.yamahafz1oa.com/eskortsadvancermod.shtml
Hey Mike,I know you've mentioned it to me before, but I was wondering if an advancer might be of use to me, having read your note above about it smoothing the throttle response between idle and 4k rpm.As you know, when I first got mine, it had a very snatchy response in just that rev range at very small throttle opening increments, but the Ivanising largely seemed to cure that. Gotta say though, it is still there - not nearly so bad as it was, and I can quite happily live with it, but wondered if the advancer might improve things still further?What do you think? Worth a shot?
you need a turbo to keep up with me

What do you think? Worth a shot?

ive notice my gen1 is abit snatchy through traffic.is the ignition advancer something anyone can have ago at fitting?
I can't say I noticed any power increase when I fitted mine, It just seemed to smooth the engine out a little.
