ignition timing
 

i have a d15z1 in my del sol


maybe this is becouse its economy model or someone may have used wrong distributor. but my fullly advanced distributor my timing light reads that its set to 14 degrees. any body got thoughts on this?


i want to get to at least 16 degrees, the only thing i can think of doing is grinding the holes of my current distrib so i can get that extra 2 degrees

Re: ignition timing
 

How are you timing it? Are you waiting for it to warm up? Have you tried unplugging your IACV to see if you can get the idle down to around 600 before timing it?

Re: ignition timing
 

fully warmed up with the service connecter hooked up. no i have not tried it at 600 its more like 900. i will try that and post back thanks. still weird though my acura i had i could get to 18 degrees easy

Re: ignition timing
 

I'm not saying you don't have the wrong distributor, but as far as I know, they're all pretty much interchangeable for OBD1 d-series. Without knowing more about your setup, I couldn't judge.

Are you using the stock ECU, or is it chipped?

Re: ignition timing
 

chipped but the stock ecu was the same thou. i dont think that statement about distribs is true. vtec and non-vtec are diff.

Re: ignition timing
 

Ah, well like I said, I wasn't sure the in's and out's of your setup. I assumed you had at least had a VTEC dizzy, but I could have been incorrect. Did you piece your swap together, or did you just get a longblock and salvage parts off your D15B7?

well i got this from someone but its a completet d15z1 which is an economy v-tec not many ppl even know of it. but i was more thinkin they may have used a z6 distib which is also v-tec and possible slightly different.
but anyway my car wont idle without the iacv.....my car is at about 850 rpm and timing light showing about 12 degrees on the crank


i am starting to think my t belt is 1 tooth off
