Default b16 no power at all low end
well i got my tps set now, and it has absolutely no bottom end. I can't even spin in a gravel parking lot. Top end is that great but not too bad. My max so far has been 85 due to the curved roads. The only thing I can think of is that I'm off a tooth for timing and its retarded. Any suggestions?

try bumping the timing up, but i'd make sure to listen for any engine noise......the b16 is a torqueless, no bottom end having motor by nature......

Does advancing the timing give you more low end or more high end?
