i have a d16 in my ej1 , and i wanted know the best way or the best ignition timing degree for it without a dyno, also same question for the cam timing with adjustable skunk2 cam gears?????

 

There is really no way of determining the ideal settings without a dyno, so your best bet would be to set the ignition timing within factory specs and leave the cam timing at 0,0.

 

well is there nething esle i can do to this thing with out spending to much money to get a lil more power out of it?...............................and if u have herad of this my engine like surges when it is cool until it gets warm ussually takes it like 3 or 4 minutes, it goes up and down between 1000 2500, after a few it disappears and runs fine

1). You don't have gears on a SOHC engine
2). There is no magic "one number fits all" setting
3). Run stock ignition maps, work from there
4). SOHC's typically favor 2 degrees retarded. Again, this will not apply to ALL engines.

 

alright i know i dont have "gears" i meant gear but, but a 2 degree retartd, is that toward the firewall or front of the car?

Read your gear. Its clearly labeled. Remember, this is not a one setting fits all. Adjust at your own risk.

 

if you dont know which way advance or retard is i honestly dont think you should be messing with something like that
