Avoiding Tuning

[K2e2vin]

Base timing should not be at 0; it should be at 16(mark closes to TDC)

What I meant is with a timing light it was set at the base, dead on I guess you could say. Not advanced or retarded.

 

[K2e2vin]

That's good. Just keep it there I honestly believe you will not have a problem and it should run just fine how it is.

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Coolieo.

Looking at your pic it looks like you had some sort of SOHC VTEC motor. What did/do you have?

 

[K2e2vin]

Jdm d15b vtec

I had a dream about that motor last night.... It was a wet one....... The oil pan hit something and oil every where

 

[OGMatt]

and no, my sheets were dry

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Ok...

One last thing...

I want to buy NGK spark plugs for that motor because I have Bosch right now. :yuck:

There are 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 heat ranges.

Which one is the one I need? I are confused.

6 should be stock(although some motors are 5). I'm guessing those Bosch ones are OE specific also? If so, definitely stick with 6 heat range.

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Thank you.

If anyone cares I ordered a stock P28 SST chip for my ECU and new NGK spark plugs.

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Oh...I forgot to put in my compression test readings.

Starting at the timing belt moving to the dizzy. 190 ish, 185 ish, 183 ish, 188 ish.

 

[GlassHeadlights]

I also hooked up my timing light to see where I was. When I brought up the revs from idle the timing went way off. That's normal right?

 

[K2e2vin]

Compression looks very good.

Yes, the timing will advance if you're revving it up/opening the throttle.

Dude, if you're looking for a tuner in the Seattle/Tacoma area, try SpeedFactory. They do excellent work. If you're willing to drive a little further, Kaizenspeed is also in the area.

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Thanks, although I don't think I'm tuning anymore.

 

[Z6CRX]

good to hear.

Are you familiar with chipping an ECU or are you sending out or having someone you know do it?

 

[GlassHeadlights]

I already have a chipped P06 ECU. I just bought a SST chip with a D16Z6 stock basemap on it so I can just pull the old chip out and pop the new one in and be on my way.

make sure of that, some people are jerks and solder the chips right in instead of putting a socked in place.
