I have 1995 gsr with USDM type r pistons and I was wondering how many degrees should I set my ignition timing?

 

16° should be the base. If you notice bogging or pinging then you adjust from there.

 

Base ignition timing:16 degrees BTDC

 

nothing special cause you have itr's in there op same 16 degrees. I've got mine fully advanced with no ping lol.

 

Can some one post pic of the timing marks on crank? I can't seem to see mine too clearly

thanks for the help guys^^^^

 

 

Thanks kaycee!

 

No problem. Make sure you jump that connector inside the car before you try adjusting it, that way the ecu knows not to adjust the timing while your moving the distributor.

 

I have 93 hatch and its a pain to get the service connector out. Any ideas to make it easier to come out?

 

Cut the wires and replace it with a switch :p

 

It should just come out and hang down pretty easily, hatches might be different but ours just sit inside a rubber block.

 

Hey kaycee!
I tried adjusting my timing based on the diagram, but the only marking I could see was white and red. I advanced the timing all the way and I couldn't hit the 16 degree mark.

Any idea what is happening?

 

Spin the crank with a ratchet and look for the mark, the other two marks might not have paint on them. What type of timing gun are you using?

 

I have a innova timing gun. I found info on team integra stating that the red mark is 16 degrees.

Here is the link: http://www.team-integra.net/forum/bl...ng-timing.html

 

Its not..




If you look at the picture they used the red mark to show the middle notch. Thats not the oem paint they're referring to.

You should be able to see the marks even with out the paint as long as its dark enough outside. Make sure you jumped that connector, and are looking down at the arrow on the plastics at the right angle.

 

The middle notch is red on my crank lol. I'm having an issue when I set my timing gun to 16 degree all I see is the top white mark, but when I set the timing gun to 0 degree I can clear see all marks especially that middle red mark (16 degree).

What degree should I follow? Should I just set on that red mark rather than what the timing gun is showing me based on? Also, I manage to jump the service connector so that isn't an issue.

Thanks kaycee for me out so much.

 

If you can set the actual timing number with the gun, your supposed to be matching it to the single white notch at the top (0º BTC).

If your gun just strobes at the crank you use the three notches to set the timing.

 

Thanks for the clarification. Which mark should I do since my timing gun can be set at the actual timing mark and strobes as well? More important I guess.

I adjusted ignition timing on both marks and i can feel a difference between the 2. The white mark felt okay when timing gun was set at 16 degrees, but as not as responsive with the red mark when timing gun was set at 0 degree.

Like there was a little power loss when set at the white mark and the red mark felt great, so I'm really loss as to what mark I should set it at.

Here is the specific timing gun I have:

 

Well if you set the gun to 16º then you line up the plastic pointer with the BTC white mark.

If you set up the gun to just strobe off the spark plug lead, line up the pointer on the plastic with the middle notch.

 

Thanks again! Hey I'm having another issue now. I was wondering if you can help me out with this.
