this is a friends motor.. a b16b motor complete .. after market intake mani..
adjustable cam gears

well the problem his when the crank is top dead center and we put the cam gears on to put in time the intake cam is off by a tooth when both cam gears are at top dead center as well.. we arent sure as to why it is off... even is like that with stock cam gears.. please help thanks

iam really confused right now.. so i might of typed this up prob. thanks

 

right size T-belt??

 

Intake cam is from 1st gen B16a(probably)-those motors had rough cast,rounded spray bars w/the TDC locating holes off center(intake toward back of car,exhaust toward front)and the locating holes in the cam(s)are not at 12 0'clock either(intake 2 o'clock,exhaust cam 10 o'clock maybe)Your spray bars should be flatter w/sharper edges and smoothly machined silver w/the holes centered in the bars.If that looks like the case to time it just use a 14 mm socket to hold true TDC on intake cam(using TDC on gear) while using the ol' phillips #2 screwdriver trick to hold the ex.cam at at at TDC.Then find out who has your CTR intake cam-the strongest oem B series In.cam,coincidently?

 

ok well the timing problem i fixed.. and now there is another problem. the kids car acts like it has a rev limiter and is reving really fast between 1400-1500.. weird

 

that sounds like a vacume issue..
Rev limitor doesnt do that.

 

yeah... the kid pretty much has his motor all jacked up.. and i didnt install all the junk so it sucks worse to figure out the problem

lol yeah.. putting turbo manifolds on a stock ctr.. ways to ruin ur car.. lol

 

but for real. google or search what the rev limitor is.. cause thats not what the car is doing. with what u described. and tell him to look for loose vacume hoses.
Does it idle wierd just at cold, or also at normal operating temp?

 

i know it is not a rev limiter but the car acts like it has one at 1500 bouching really fast. thats what it idles at like a rev limiter... cold and warm

 

ok its got a vacume leak.

 

he is running that big victor x manifold.. and a hondata gasket.. i thought the gasket was white? his is blue?

 

vaccum leak

 

yeah thats what i though.. but they said everything was good.. so ill just have to check myself.. or could it be the fitv

 

Try bleeding the coolant system THOROUGHLY-Air in coolant system,FITV(which OBD2 TB doesn't have)and vacuum leaks are ALL common causes of "bouncing Honda idle syndrome"!
