You can never adjust the BTDC or ATDC angle on any vehicle unless you were to swap out the crankshaft for something custom. What made you ask this kind of question?

Unless you are asking how to adjust the ignition timing on a 7th gen you need to have some type of aftermarket tuning software. After 2000 Honda went to coil on plug design that got rid of the distributor and no manual adjustment to the distributor can be made to change the ignition timing manually.

It's for the fine tuning. I have a civic 2000 now and I can improve 4 mpg only by increase 2 degree BTDC from the stock setting. I'm planning to buy an other civic in the near future and I just want to know something more about other generation of civic.

Soo spending 100's to save a few pennies doesnt make too much sense..

I don't get it. It cost me nothing. I already have a timing light and It took me about 10 minutes to switch to the new timing.

You have a 2000 Civic, that's a 6th gen. Your original post stated it was a 7th gen model.

Yes, I have a 2000 civic now, but I'm looking for another Civic with more recent generation. This is the reason why I come here to find some answers for the civic of this generation.

In that case you wont be manually adjusting ignition timing on anything 2001+.
