Timing and mileage? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #34738 4 posts Started by bdog_v
Hello, I got some good news! On my new Used 94 gt celica I got 31.8 mpg for both highway and city driving combined! I was shooting for just 30 but I beat it so I am happy with my new purchase! Now comes the question I am tuning the whole motor as it has 132,000 miles and was wondering where you guys have your timing set at? *For a 2.2 liter motor*

-It looks like mine has never been moved.. Is there anything to be gained from moving it from the factories original position? I only want to run 87 octane to save money. Any ideas? Thanks....
10 tdc. keep it there, thats some great gas milage, i wouldnt worry about trying to get more out of it

Around 3,000 rpm I tried not to go above 3500 for shifting. Now for the next tank I'll drive it a little more aggressively and see what happens...
