Default Setting the ignition timing

i have a 95 gsr integra and i did the timing last night on it and aligned all the marks( on the cams and on the crank), and i had the dizzy set right in the middle(not advanced or retarted), but when i put the timing gun on it the mark was soo far above the middle timing mark on the crank. i have done the timing several times and it never gets close to being at 16 degrees BTDC. no matter how advanced i put the dizzy. ive done the timing on a few b16s and they ran strong with the timing marks all aligned, but the gsr has been giving me troubles and i cant figure out how to get it running good. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

My timing marks on the timing belt cover never matched up with what my ecu was saying. According to my ecu I was at 14 BTDC but the gun said 16 BTDC. The timing mark groove on the timing belt cover is usually a bit off.
