I've got a stock b16a with pr3 ecu.. Right now I have to advance my distributor timing all the way in order to get any decent power/throttle response.. Does ne one know wtf is wrong with my motor?? I checked compression it's about 193.. plugs are new and gapped correctly. all other timing (cam/pulley) is at tdc. can ne one help??

U can loose HPs by full advance.
When I dynoed my car (b18C), I lost 5HP on the top end by going full advance on (the last notch after the red mark on the crank pulley)
Best output wat just slightly above the red mark.

Ofcourse, each engine is different.
Best way to find out is go to the dyno. I understand that u might feel the engine to be "more responsive" when full advance and @ part throttle. Thats how mine felt but when the dyno run came, I made more Hps when WOT by retarding a bit.

Sluggish on part throttle does not necessarily mean less power when WOT.

How many degrees is ur timing up? Definately try backing it down a bit and see if that helps.

that's the problem.. the motor lags on getting rpms up if i back the timing down any..
