Hey guys,

really need this sorting quickly.

Im trying to get the timing right on my engine. It has an adjustable cam gear and new crower stage 2 cam. Im pretty sure we got the cam timing right but i can only get 26 degrees retard by turning the dizzy and i need 16 right? is it to do with the camshaft? do i have to split the dizzy and turn the gear on the dizzy shaft to get correct timing?


thankyou in advance

 

Did you adjust the cam gear, or is it just set to 0?

 

You have to set it to 16 degrees advance, not retard.

 

the cam gear is adjusted to crower spec and yeah i meant advance sorry

has anyone ever heard the need to split the dizzy to change timing? what else can i do?

 

Have you checked out d-series.org and turbod16.com

I don't think you need to take the dizzy apart.

What are you using for fuel management and is this car boosted?

 

no, i was hoping someone would know here. Its not boosted but its going to be. set up for crome.

how else can i alter the timing then?? i dont understand why its so out... i can only think its the camshaft slot what the dizzy goes in is wrong :S

 

could it be that ive tensioned the belt wrong??

 

No. The belt should be tight, but even if it's a bit loose it won't effect timing. The teeth on the belt will still be in the right spot.

How much has the head been shaved ? Even if it's a lot that would only make a small difference.

Are you using the correct timing mark on the plastic cover, or the marks to the right on the pulley. It's been a while for me since I played with a D16z6. I seem to remember if you use the red mark on the crank pulley, your off 16 degrees. You want to use the white mark.

 

im going off the the red mark? thats ignition. white is tdc, correct?

yeah using the marks on the plastic cover. heads been skimmed once. not alot off i dont think.

 

Wow, I just noticed your in England, cool.

Yes the white mark lines up with the mark on the plastic case that is at about 1 o'clock. I think there is more then one white notch.

check your PM

 

thanks, but still not resolved my problem. just gunna have to go over the cam timing again i think

 

i didnt connect the service connector when checking timing... could this be the problem ? will it be out if i didnt connect it?

 

im not sure if it would be out if you didn't connect it, but i know you are supposed to connect it when you set timing. i am not 100% sure how big of a difference this will make though. bump for this guy. hopefully he gets it going right

 

thanks ^^

still need any help if anybody knows what it could be
