89 Vg-30 V6

[krmiller07]

Ok, I know this is going to sound ignorant, but I am trying to determine and find the factory, as well as any suggested ingition time specs, for the VG-30 V6. I have tried the Nissan dealers ( their computers on go back to 94) as well as thw local national auto perts stores. My haynes manual says to refer to the emissions sticker under the hood, which would be fine...if the hood was off of a V-6 !

I discovered the distributor bolt was left loose, from the last shop that did a 'tune up'. I'd like to get a baseline setting or adjust it for maximum milage and or power, or a balance of the two.

 

Thanks,

the 90-95 pathfinders is 15*. But I believe the 86.5-89 pathfinders is 10*. So, I would say anywhere between 10 and 15 would be golden. And I also don't think that these engines respond too well to increased timing. Just leave it at the factory setting and it'll be happy.

For some reason 12.5* pops into my head.

Yeah, 15 for the MPFIV6 and I seem to recall 12 for the TBIV6...

12 degrees for the TBI

15 degrees for the MPFI

 

You can advance your TBI to 15 degrees and gain some fuel mileage.

JJ, B and Kingman have it right. 12~13 is stock for your 89 TBI V6. If you do allot of Higway Miles you may benifit from running 15*
