I have a 96 b18c1 motor and the distributor is all the way advanced and i am still 3 deg retarted from stock
1. The timming belt is a after market belt and is longer


2. The head is shaved and making it a longer belt


3. It has a thinner head gasket

I myself think it is some of all and i am going to go with a Honda belt and get a set of cam gears, and with that bring the distributor back a bit then advance my cams and then bring the ignition timming up 2 deg

the car had a compression test done and it was cold it put out like 210 psi of comprestion

Is this going to be the right way to go about this and could there be anything else wrong

and the car does run strong it went 14.4 N/A and i had a cell from the obd2 ecu now i have the obd1 ecu with a convertion harness and it seems to me that it is running stronger

this is in a 95 hatch DX

i tryed posting it in the hybrid but no luck there

 

anyone?

 

Mine is the same way, I have it all the way advanced and it is still off by like 3 degrees retarded. I think cam gears could correct this problem but Im not positive. Anyone? Thanks

 

what is done to your car or the change you made to make it like this?

i will have my GE cam gears in today thanks to Mike@MotorMatrix

i will tell you later today when it all goes on with a new Honda timming belt

 

i got my ignition timming to come up by advacing my intake cam and i am still tunning it in

any one have an idian like as in retard the ex and advance will give say less bottom and more top? i am looking for a bit more mid and top

 

The best way to extract the most power is to put it on a dyno

 

ive always wondered, so when u mill the head, or go with a thinner gasket, your timign is RETARDED?

 

yes if you run a thinner head gasket or the head is milled you timming is retarded
