I have a 94 EJ and I was wondering what would be the best cam/ignition timing mix for an all-motor D16? btw searched an nothing, also I have the basic I/H/E

 

If all you have is I/H/E, I'm going to say OEM cam and ignition timing.

There is no "best" cam or ignition timing for all engines. You'll have to put it on a dyno to see.

 

Ok well I was just wondering. Thanks for the info

 

i had a stock p28 cam advanced 2 degrees with 40 psi of fuel, probably not the smartest but it pulled hard as hell from 45 in a 93 cx hatchback

 

Well right now I'm running 2 degrees retarded and 50 psi at idle

 

advance it and try a few runs and see how it runs? my z6 pulled gsr's and si civic's
but it was fully gutted

 

Its funny cause a year ago i did a Z6 with y8 head and 2 degrees advanced with about 45psi fuel and i was so amazed how it pulled in a 93 eg. it was crazy.

 

So 2 degrees advanced pulled fairly good?

 

Yeah i didnt think it was gonna run great but i pulled hard. I was like Ohhh ****

 

i thought my motor was a freak of nature to be honest with you.

 

She's a super freak, super freak she's supa' freaky now, lol

 

HAHA ROFL what about ignition?

lol i used stock ignition.... your motor would be revatively stock so you really don't need to upgrade it

 

Ok I'll test/tune and tell you guys tomorrow.Thanks for the useful info.

 

If you change the cam timing it will hurt you in some areas of the RPM band and help you in others, MAYBE. Maybe it will help you above 8000 RPM.

Either way if it helps you or hurts you, when you drive the car you're going to think it did you wonders. Just like all these people posting in your thread. Put it on a dyno and you might be inclined to put it back to stock.

Ignition timing: usually it's a safe bet to advance it to the high side of spec, which on a Honda is usually 18 degrees. There's a nice little mark there to help you out. I had a JDM D16 though that did not like anything other than 16 degrees and exactly 16 degrees unless I ran 91, and even then, the power with 91 and 18 degrees was the same as 87 and 16 degrees.

And yes, I had a friend that worked at a dyno shop and could stay after hours.

 

Nice just what I was looking for, btw was it the white mark on the crank pulley?

 

So just finished tune with 2 degrees advance and 16 degrees BTDC. Results where better than expected 'cause it pulled hard later today, I'm going to race my friends stock full interior B18C EG.
